New blank cards: Origami leaves and dolphins

Before I begin introducing other styles from my inaugural collection, such as cards with 3D motifs or paper cuts, let me quickly show you my two most recent origami creations: leaves and dolphins. Both of these cards feature beautiful textured card stock from Japan. 

Blank leaf card

Article No.: 00JO-A6-WOO-14101

Are you looking for a blank card that suits the fall season? Are you tired of flowers, puppies, drinks, beaches and the likes on cards and would prefer something more autumnal, but no less bright and elegant? Look no further. This handmade blank card combines an origami leaf with a variety of beautiful Japanese papers in fall colours and with different textures.

• Textured Japanese card stock in wood brown.
• The collage consists of vertical paper stripes in crinkled gold paper (long) and brown washi paper (short), three diagonal stripes in latte-coloured linen card stock, one uneven broad stripe of brown Japanese tissue paper, and an origami leaf, hand-folded from dark red origami paper with an attached stem made of dark brown paper. The leaf is only glued in the centre in order to create a 3D effect.
• The size of the card is 10.7cm x 15.7 cm (4 1/4" x 6 1/4").
• Blank inside. The card contains a loosely inserted sheet of watermarked Japanese lining paper.
• A matching light reddish-brown envelope with shimmery speckles is included.

Blank dolphin card

Article No.: 00JO-A6-SEA-14101

This handmade blank card combines a variety of elegant Japanese papers in nautical colours and features a shimmery origami dolphin. It is suitable for many different purposes. You could send "happy birthday" wishes to a dolphin or sea lover. Or instead of the usual "Good luck!" why not wish your recipient that something may go swimmingly!? Send it to a friend who loves Japan, but hates the dolphin hunt. Or use the card in true Douglas Adams fashion to say "So long" and/or "thanks (for all the fish)"!

• Textured Japanese card stock in sea blue.
• The collage consists of two vertical paper stripes in blue and shimmery light turquoise, a horizontal stripe in white (finely printed Japanese tissue), chiyogami (precious Japanese silk-screened paper) in a navy blue and white wave pattern, and an origami dolphin hand-folded from shimmery blue ungeishi paper.
• The size of the card is 10.7cm x 15.7 cm (4 1/4" x 6 1/4").
• Blank inside. The card contains a loosely inserted sheet of watermarked Japanese lining paper.
• A matching light blue envelope is included.

Set of THREE blank dolphin cards

Article No.: 00SE-A6-SEA-14101

You can buy my blank dolphin cards also in a set of three -- at a discounted price!

Please note that no cards are exactly the same, as each card is made by hand and features a different cut from a full sheet of chiyogami. That is, you will receive three unique cards in this set. The different components of the design are, however, arranged in the same way on every card.

The full set is held together by a thin printed card-stock wrapper.
