Holiday Christmas Pens

Holiday pens can make fun novelty gifts for the office and/or for additional stocking stuffers. Perhaps it will encourage some extra letter writing too.

Here you can choose from a variety of decorative scenes and patterns, to enhance the festive holiday spirit, on actual pens. You can also select the trim color on the pen and also customize them with text if you like. You can also choose the ink color.

Trim color choices are black, green, blue, red, and pink. Ink color choices are black, blue, and red.

This link will show you a larger layout of the selection and the purchase links. Designs include Christmas tree designs, snow people, snowflakes, and patterns. These pens are designed by me. a.k.a. CherylsArt, and are printed and shipped by Zazzle.

I have purchased pens from Zazzle myself, and am quite pleased with them. They are simple pens, lightweight, and have a good ink consistency.


Here you may find a decorative selection from Amazon (depending on the season.) The design choices can vary depending upon what is currently in stock. Some of these pens may also be shaped like candy canes, which can add to the festive spirit.



Happy holidays, writing, and gift giving.

Cute Pug Christmas Cards and Ornaments

Pugs are so cute. Here you will find my painting of a cute pug dog that I saw while on a neighborhood walk. I've gone on this route quite a few times and had seen this friendly girl out with her owner. I started chatting with her owner and one day I even got to take her pug for a walk. I was amazed and impressed with how quick her pace was. I had to pick up my pace a bit.

After having spoke with the owner on several occasions, I asked her if it would be okay for me to paint a picture of her dog, and for me to place it on cards, etc. I also told her that I would give her the original painting. She accepted my offer and I also gave her some original pug cards. She agreed; I painted her cute pug with her adorable friendly pose. She looks so happy.

For Christmas, I added in a holiday Santa hat, and sent the woman a memorable Christmas card.


Here she is on a matching ornament; her happy face is printed on both sides.


Hope you have enjoyed my painting of a cute pug. If you'd like to check out more of this cutie on Christmas products, you can view them here:

Business Cards as Christmas Gift Tags


If you are looking for Christmas tags with unique designs on them, you can use business cards that have been designed just for that purpose.

What is Christmas without some fun; cat fun that is. This design was inspired by my cats playing by the Christmas tree.



This snow couple looks bright and cheery. They are shown waving hi with their greetings. The snow woman is wearing a red scarf and hat, and the snowman is wearing a green scarf and a black top hat.


Cat lovers will love the little black kitten shown coming out of a Christmas stocking. I used my imagination when creating this design, based on my experience with my cats; they always love getting into things, especially whatever is new and open. No kittens were put into any stockings. : )


Last but certainly not least is the jolly man himself - Santa Claus. Here he is wearing his traditional red and white suit. He has rosy cheeks and green eyes, and I painted him in pointillism.


Each design is ready for purchase in my CherylsArt store at Zazzle; they come in packs of 100. You can choose the business card style, size, and paper type.

You can attach them with a bit of tape or glue dots.

You can also use double stick tape or regular tape.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you.
