More cupcakes

I'm having an absolute blast making all these cupcake Christmas cards!  Here's a really fun suspension card for your viewing pleasure :)




I just love how this card turned out and I love, love, LOVE the pink, green and turquoise color combo.  If I hadn't already invested in purple and silver, this color combo would be a huge contender for my tree :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

4 months until Christmas?!?!?!?!?!?!

I can't believe we are getting so close to the holiday season.  I'm sure some of you grunted or rolled your eyes with that sentence!  However, this is the start of my busy season.  To celebrate, I'm hosting a giveaway.  Check out The Jolly Fat Elf on Facebook for all the details.  Plus, as a special bonus, I'm offering 20% off your entire purchase.  Just use the coupon code CHRISTMAS at my Etsy shop.

I'm currently taking orders for ornaments and Christmas cards.  I don't have any Christmas cards currently listed, but email me and we can discuss your thoughts and wishes and I can create a custom listing for you!

This Little Piggy

Are you a collector?  Over the years, I've started several different collections ranging from old Avon perfume bottles, to Barbies and now to craft supplies!

My friend Chris has loved and collected pigs for as long as I can remember and when he came to me and requested I make him 3 little pig ornaments.  Well, let's just say that I had a hard time containing my excitement.  Now, he has a Pig themed Christmas tree.  I can't wait to see pictures come December!

The first little pig is a black and white cutie.  This ornament features the snout and the tail!  He's absolutely adorable and completely customize-able. Want just his face, with a name or one side, or a completely different color, I can do that!  Just email me with any questions!



His brother is as cute as he can be!  Just waiting to hang out on your Christmas tree!


 The final brother is all smiles!  What a great tradition to start with your family!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

And visions of...cupcakes danced in their heads

When you think of Christmas, you don't normally think of cupcakes.  However, this card will definitely change your mind!

Red and Aqua are such trendy Christmas colors.  They have a retro vibe and provide a modern twist to Christmas card giving and even decorating.  These cards were handcrafted for a customer who's only request was that she had cupcake Christmas cards to distribute this year!  I think any recipient would be ecstatic to receive this card in the mail!

Interested in handcrafted Christmas/Holiday cards for your family and friends?  Just email me and we can work together on your won masterpiece :)

The NBA baby!

The Jolly Fat Elf's handmade ornaments can be completely customized for the Ultimate Sports Fan.  Our handmade ornaments are made completely to your specifications.  We do our best to ensure that our handmade ornaments exceed your expectations and will provide years of enjoyment!

The Oklahoma City Thunder came so close to winning the NBA Championship this year and three players went on the lead the USA Men's Basketball Team to a gold medal.  This OKC Thunder ornament features glitter glue, and sequins.  Of course, you have can put any name on the front up to 8 characters!

 The Chicago Bulls.  Can anyone say that team name without automatically thinking of Michael Jordan.  Mr. 23?  I can't.  I love the detailing on this bull.  He's definitely a fighter!




I'm currently working on a Los Angeles' Lakers ornament.  It's definitely NBA fever up in The Jolly Fat Elf studios!

If you are interested in any of these ornaments, please feel free to email me or check out our Ultimate Sports Fan listing in our Etsy Store!

Whew!

What an interesting way to spend my Sunday!  I don't fancy myself a blog designer.  I like to leave that to the professionals.  However, I did take a few hours today and update the blog as promised.  This isn't the finished design, but I figured it was enough to give us a little shake up for the 2012 Holiday Season.

New for the 2012 season will be Christmas/Holiday cards.  We can work together to create a design for your cards or I will have several designs available that you can chose for customization.

As always, we have our custom ornaments!  These ornaments are made to order.  As you can see from the slideshow on the left, even Spiderman can change his colors to match your tree's theme!  Oh, and did I mention that The Jolly Fat Elf's ornaments aren't just for Christmas Trees?  Check out Abrahm's ornament.  His ornament has a spot in his OSU themed nursery.

Whether your looking for a special gift for the holiday season or year round, The Jolly Fat Elf is here to help!

Thanks for stopping by!
