Summer Pugs

Okay, it's not summer yet, but our book Summer Pugs is now available on lulu.com. If you know someone who loves pugs, this is the perfect gift book. It is a 48 page full color picture book about our grandpugs, Lizzie and Mason who spend their summers with us on Cape Cod. The cover shot shown here was taken at Loop Beach in Cotuit.

Also, please visit A Pug's Voice, Mason's very literary and witty blog.

Mother's Day at Cape Card

noreply@blogger.com (CapeCard) — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 15:17:00 +0000

In addition to the Mother's Day Cod (card), I just completed the design for The Mother's Day Cod print. It has a floral reef (not wreath) in the background and new typography. The text in the lower right can be personalized if the buyer wishes at no additional cost. Best of all, the number of baby fish can be changed.

The giclee print is printed on Epson Velvet Fine Art matte archival paper with Epson UltraChrome K3 ink. Although the print is 8x10 inches, it is printed on 8.5x11 inch paper to allow for matting. The Cape Card digital watermark will not appear on the actual print. Frame is for visualization purpose only. Actual print is unframed.

One more thing; The number of baby cods (codlings) can be changed to match the actual number of children in the family.

This is truly a Mother's Day gift that will be cherished and never forgotten.

The greeting cod and print can be purchased at CapeCard.net or my shop on Etsy.com.

The Baby Cod

noreply@blogger.com (CapeCard) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:59:00 +0000

This cute cod is handy for baby showers or to accompany a gift when one does not know the sex. The inside is blank for your own message. The card can also be customized as a baby shower announcement or birth announcement. If used as a birth announcement the colors can be changed to suit the sex of the baby.

Please contact us for discounts on larger quantities.

The "cod" is printed on heavy uncoated stock with pigment inks and sealed in an acid-free cello sleeve with its envelope.

Tee shirts with this design will be available soon.

Finally writing my own Christmas and Chanukah Cods

I've put it off as long as possible, but am now earnestly writing cods to everyone on my list!

"Tis the Season for Cods

noreply@blogger.com (CapeCard) — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:56:00 +0000

December 6, 2008

Several things to note as Christmas and Chanukah approach...people have been asking to purchase the Christmas Cod ornament (right)...and yes, it would be a beautiful one and perhaps it will be next year, but it does not exist this year. It is a card or print only. I hate disappointing people but folks, it does say "card" on my site.

Speaking of cards, they are flying out of here and many of the stores carrying them. I do have a supply of all five designs, and like most people this year, I will not be doing my usual mass mailing. It would be in poor taste...but sending out a few tasteful "cods" is perfectly acceptable. Everyone who sees or receives a "cod" loves it. Whoever would have guessed that the singularly unattractive codfish could morph into such an appealing and praiseworthy creature?

I really love the lobster peace card, (above) even though it isn't a cod, and think its message is very timely this year.

It interests me that in designing these "cods" I considered only Cape Cod as my audience, but so many of my sales are to people in Canada, Europe, and other parts of the United States...weird, isn't it? Who knew they would have such universal appeal.

Cape Card has official trademark!

When I returned from my trip to NY Saturday, my official certificate of registration for Cape Card was in the mail. I did the whole process through legalzoom.com. Worked great! I did my own search which saved a lot of time and money.

Cape Card in The Cape Cod View magazine

noreply@blogger.com (CapeCard) — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 21:56:00 +0000

Apparently, The Cape Cod View holiday issue hit the stands this past week, and I am already seeing some results. We received a substantial order from an individual in NJ and a store on Martha's Vineyard ordered 10 boxes of The Christmas Cod to start. At left is the ad I designed that shows The Christmas Cod, Lobster Peace and Christmas Ornament Cod.

Fall for the Arts on Cape Cod

noreply@blogger.com (CapeCard) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:23:00 +0000

I'm a bit overwhelmed at all I need to do to prepare Cape Card for the Oct. 4 and 5 weekend. Having long sleeve tees and hooded sweatshirts printed, placemats, fine art prints. Need to print out a number of archival prints and frame some, design banner for booth, box up cards. This is actually turning into more of a to-do list than blog. More interesting stuff to come hopefully. Should be a good weekend to also show and sell Christmas Cods.
