Magnolia Garden Greeting Card Crafting Kit
An invitation to share the magnolia joy
Greetings, GreenPrints Garden Club members! Don Nicholas here, your fellow nature enthusiast and the executive publisher of our beloved GreenPrints family. Today, I’m thrilled to share my experience with the newly bloomed Magnolia Garden Greeting Card Crafting Kit, crafted by our very own Christy Page.
As gardeners, we know the joy of sending flowers, but have you ever considered sending the essence of a garden in a carefully crafted greeting card? Christy Page has truly outdone herself with this enchanting kit, showcasing the beauty of magnolias in every stroke and sentiment.
This delightful kit features nine original illustrations of magnolias, spanning the varieties that grace both North and South America. Each illustration tells a story, a chapter in the larger narrative of magnolia beauty. Christy’s touch brings out the vibrant colors and intricate details of these blossoms, capturing the essence of nature’s artwork.
But the charm doesn’t stop there—Christy has paired each illustration with a heartfelt quote, forming a harmonious symphony of words and images. It’s like sending a piece of your garden to your loved ones, a unique and personal expression of joy, love, and good wishes.
Let’s take a stroll through the magnolia varieties included in this kit:
Anise Magnolia: Ellen Read’s words beautifully paint the picture of a house adorned with magnolia trees, welcoming you with outstretched branches.
Ashe’s Magnolia: Alexandra Vasiliu’s poetic quote invites you to be someone’s, just as a magnolia belongs to spring—pure and full of promise.
Cucumber Tree Magnolia: Kat Savage’s wisdom encourages us to embrace life’s mayhem and gather the magnolias along the way—a reminder to find beauty in chaos.
Lily Magnolia: Maya Angelou’s insight into the perpetual child within us, as innocent and shy as magnolias, resonates with the everlasting beauty of these blossoms.
Kobus Magnolia: Zora Neale Hurston’s vivid imagery captures the essence of magnolias in moonlit moments—a fluttering fan and blooming beauty.
Loebner Magnolia: Patti LaBelle celebrates the magnolia’s dual nature—stately and elegant, yet simple and understated, a perfect reflection of life’s grace.
Saucer Magnolia: Michael W. Smith crowns the magnolia as the queen of flowering trees, unsurpassed in loveliness and majesty—a sentiment we can all share.
Southern Magnolia: Alexander Herzen bids farewell to the sun with huge magnolia flowers, showcasing their beauty in the quiet moments.
Sweetbay Magnolia: William Blair Morton Ferguson paints a peaceful scene—the blue sky, waving corn-fields, and the magnolia, accompanied by the soothing songs of homing birds.
So, dear GreenPrints family, let’s spread magnolia joy far and wide with these enchanting greeting cards. Share the beauty, the love, and your heartfelt messages with friends, family, and neighbors, making each day a little brighter for those around you.
May your days be filled with magnolia joy and happiness, and may the gardens of your lives continue to bloom!
Yours in gardening delight,
