It’s Internet Christmas Time!

Apologies for going all crass and commercial, but the truth is that now is the time to do your online shopping for Christmas. (That would be Christmas 2013 – delivery delays are not yet that bad.) Pretty Rock Designs has your Christmas and Holiday Season requirements in the bag: cards, decorations, gifts, wrapping paper, and more.

Cards

Nothing says someone cares quite like a physical card in the mail, doubly so if it’s as beautiful as a Pretty Rock Designs card. If you’re planning to be that someone who cares you’ll need to give yourself the most time to receive, write and post your cards before the big day. Pretty Rock cards also make wonderful gifts on the day as gift tags with your own special message, or as a pack of blank cards for your friend to pass on to others.

Every single image in the Pretty Rock portfolio is available for purchase as a 10cm x 15cm postcard, 10cm x 15cm greeting card, or 12.5cm x 19cm greeting card. All cards are blank, and suitable for all occasions.

 

Decorations

The next things you need to get organised are your decorations so you can enjoy them for as long as possible. You’ll find Pretty Rock Designs tree decorations in our Pretty Rock Empire Cafepress shop.

These are some of the most popular, based on the design Marcasite Star:

All decorations come in these three shapes (the round ones come in metal or ceramic.) Different designs work best in different shapes.

The Pretty Rock Empire shop also stocks a wide range of buttons (badges) and magnets to brighten up your refrigerator, yourself, or your curtains. Prices start at only a couple of dollars. This is the Risky Bismuth 2.25″ Button:

Strange Peacock gets the Pretty Rocks on Frocks treatment

Strange Peacock (Abalone) is an unusual Pretty Rock Designs image in that it’s not actually a rock – it’s a microscope closeup of the shell of an Abalone, otherwise known as a Paua shell. Here’s how it looks on Redbubble where it’s available for sale as cards and prints:


But that’s not why we’re here. Not long ago we were very excited by a bulk purchase of Strange Peacock (Abalone) fabric from our Pretty Rocks on Frocks fabric store. In no time at all this was whipped up into this fabulous limited edition Abalone dress from Kittenish Behaviour:
