While I love many aspects of my job, one of my favourites is custom created gift requests. I LOVE selecting (shopping) for very specific items for people… I LOVE hearing the back story and learning enough about the recipient and possibly the relationship between our client and the recipient to create something very memorable by all.
We received a gift request this month for a special recipient with obviously a passion of horses but with very specific requirements around the gifts chosen (due to physical and health restrictions) and I was delighted to assist in making this dream gift a reality.
The custom birthday card was designed to accompany the gift and to let the recipient know that it was all created with only her in mind. How special is it to get a card with your name die cut into it… very special indeed, and I hope she felt that.
The base was created with thick white card stock, a dark brown mat was layered under watercolor paper which had been stained with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and the top layer was cut with a racing horses and the recipient’s name. We also stamped Happy Birthday above her die cut name.
This unique original card was attached to the custom gift basket arrangement send up to Duncan BC that included a huge unique ceramic horse bust, an oversize large fleece blanket with a running wild Mustangs across it, horse decals for walls and mirrors as well as a large gorgeous coffee table picture book.
Happy Birthday Dea, we hope you enjoyed all the gifts as well as this lovely card, created just for you!
We love creating custom unique, original gifts for people. Let me know if you have a rough idea or concept, timeline and budget and I would love to see what we can do together to design something PERFECT for your special someone or occasion.
Thanks for stopping by,
Carole Mac
