First Christmas Sale at Zazzle

I sold 3 stickers of “Santa in Nativity” at Zazzle. This is my first Christmas sale at Zazzle.

This is my experimental design of Santa and the Nativity combined together. I'm glad someone liked it. I didn't get any sales on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, so I started wondering if my Christmas products were ever going to sell. Yet, holiday shopping has just started, and will peak in December. I'm crossing my fingers to sell a lot.

“My First Christmas” For Babies

I decided to create “My First Christmas” products for babies. I will use some graphics from “My First 4^th of July” designs. I have a baby stroller in red, white, and blue. I changed the color from blue to green for Christmas, and typed “My First Christmas” on the top of the canvas. I added the bell, and ribbon on the top and flowers under “My First Christmas.” I did some experiments on the size and position of the graphics. I placed a candy cane as a handle of the baby stroller, made a big wreath, and placed the baby stroller in the middle of it. Also, I drew a teddy bear and placed it in the center of the wreath instead of the stroller to create another version.

My First Christmas:
A baby in the baby stroller in red and green, and decorations with “My First Christmas.” Cute and unique Christmas gift for babies to remember your baby's first Christmas.

Reviewing Recent Christmas Designs

As I create more Christmas designs, I noticed room for improvements as I reviewed my recent artwork. I often sleep on my designs before uploading them, but I'm still in a dilemma between simple and fancy designs. It's challenging to add a lot of elements in an organized manner. One extra element could ruin the whole design or one big element could distract one's eyes. I looked at my designs after a week, and some extra elements started distracting my eyes. I noticed that I draw snowflakes too big in some designs, but I kept the current designs as they are because some people might like them. However, I made some new designs by modifying them, making fewer and smaller snowflakes. Here is one of the examples.

"USA for Christmas" T- Shirts

I created the first patriotic design for a T-Shirt in August, and have some other drafts for this design. I added “Wind” to “USA” to make it look like icicles with Photoshop, and added “Molecular” from “Texture” in the Layer Effects to make it look like crystal. I placed a Santa hat on the “S” in “USA,” three snowflakes on the right side of the canvas, and turned them into red, white, and blue. I added and scattered some circles at random on the layer and made them Bokeh, and scattered some circles in different sizes on another layer to make a background for products other than T-Shirts such as magnets and buttons. I added snow on the top of each letter in “USA” and slight Outer Grow. I found that it looked nicer with the black background rather than the colored background with decorations.

“USA” for Christmas:

Crystal style “USA” in Stars and Stripes with snow and icicles, a Santa hat on “USA”, and snowflakes in red, white, and blue in the background. Unique patriotic design in vintage style for the holiday seasons.

"Santa in Nativity" Christmas Card

I have some drafts for a Nativity scene that I made in October. I roughly placed a traditional Nativity scene in the middle of the canvas, and Santa on the left, an angel on the top, and the verse of “Oh Come Let Us Adore Him.” I looked at another Christmas snow scene with Santa, and a Christmas tree with the night sky, and combined two drafts into one which is “Santa in Nativity.” I made some different versions by changing the sky and the border. I added a verse, “May the Lord Jesus live in your heart all year long. Merry Christmas”

Candy Cane Christmas Card

I made another snow scene by combining the graphics from “Snowscape in Wreath Christmas Card” that I made last week. I placed a big candy cane with a ribbon at the middle of the canvas, and grapes on the top edge of the canvas. I made horizontal and vertical versions for this design, and placed a peace dove on the candy cane on the vertical one.

Peace Dove on Candy Cane:

Original illustrations for a peace dove sitting on a candy cane, and a Christmas snowscape with Christmas trees and grapes on the night sky background with snowflakes. Unique and beautiful Christmas scene for Christmas cards.

Cardinals Sitting by Window Christmas Cards

I modified the cardinals, a fire place, and the ornament for “Cardinals in Love” that I made for CafePress three years ago. I placed a new Christmas tree inside the room, and decorated the background with snowflakes, and grapes. Next, I deleted the grapes from the background, and placed a frame instead to create another version for the same design.

A male and female cardinal are greeting each other by the window and celebrating the joy of the season, and a Christmas tree is decorated near the fire place inside the window.

Peace Doves for Christmas at Zazzle

I have some bird designs for Christmas that I made for CafePress. I used the same peace doves, and cardinals from the past for new designs, and redrew ribbons, bells, and made a new background with shining stars and snowflakes. I created two designs for Christmas cards and ornaments based on the old one.

Here is "Peace Doves with Wreath"

Original illustrations of a snow scene inside of a Christmas wreath with a ribbon and bell, and two peace doves flying over the wreath, wishing a Merry Christmas.

I finished one of the drafts which is “Snowscape in Wreath Christmas Card.”
Original illustrations of snow falling Christmas scene with Christmas trees, houses, and a church inside of the wreath decorated with a ribbon and flowers, and the night sky background with snowflakes. Let's celebrate the joy of the holiday season.
