Welcome to cardart !

Hi there !



I am an amateur photographer who enjoys travelling around the place. So I thought I'd bring you the combination of the two by creating original greeting cards from my photos from travels around the world.



The photographs have been taken on either my Canon EOS D30 Digital SLR or my simple Panasonic Lumix click & shoot for those days when lugging the big boy around is too much hassle!



Click into any photo which links to my zazzle gallery to find out the location of each photo. My zazzle gallery has a lot more photo designs - on greeting cards and a range of other products - feel free to explore, visit my sister lenses & leave me any comments or suggestions.



Hope you enjoy !

about my cards 

cardart on zazzle

All cards are customizable for you to add your personalised messages on the cover and inside, or leave them blank for any occasion.

I have now extended my store range to include posters, calendars, postcards and ties . . . all featuring my original photography. Of course, if you would like any photos on a t-shirt, mousepad, mug or any other product, feel free to write on my wall & I'd be happy to accomodate.

And remember, the more you buy at zazzle (not just at my store), the cheaper it gets !!

thoughtful cards 

tailor the wording for other sentiments

This "thinking of uyuni" card is from the breathtaking Salar de Uyuni - the world's largest salt flats located in Southwest Bolivia. When I visited in April 2007, the thin layer of water on top reflected the moutains & clouds (and even us !) - truly spectacular.
