Ori is Israeli but currently lives in New York. His sister, an art student who also works as a flight attendant for El Al, was planning to visit him on his birthday, so their mum
ordered a card for her to bring along. Mum told me that Ori loves coffee and
that he sends them coffee photos all the time! He works for
Apple Inc. and of
course lives in The Big Apple. She also asked me to include the
Empire State Building, and told me that he favours Omega luxury watches too.
I showed bespectacled Ori standing in front of the Empire State Building,
the eighth-tallest building in New York City. He is holding a cup of
coffee and wearing one of his favourite watches. I then added a little graphic
of an apple with the words "The Big Apple" on it. The "shine" on the apple is
the Apple Inc. logo.
Doron was turning 30 and was going to celebrate his birthday in Rome! His mother-in-law
asked me to create a large card with a Rome theme. She also wanted a big 30
somewhere on the card.
The card was simple but a lot of fun to make. I cut out a large number 30 and
decorated the card with the Italian tricolour - green, white, and red. Then I added
a slice of pizza (of course!), a glass of wine, a gladiator's helmet, and an
image of the Colosseum, the huge amphitheatre built nearly two thousand years ago as a gift to the
Roman people and originally used for gladiator games, dramas, and - yes -
public executions! To finish it off, I cut out tiny pieces of pasta, a classic
symbol of Roman hospitality.

I love the clever personalization in both of these! So creative!
It's a beautiful birthday card! I love your creative talent.
Stunning cards! I especially love that gladiator's helmet; your attention to detail is second to none. xx
I am glad that his mum told you that Ori really loves coffee. The card will bring his family to emotional tears when they see their beloved boy doing what he enjoys.
These are fantastic! The personal touches make them so unique, and I love how you captured Ori and Doron’s favorites in such a creative way.
Both cards will be lasting reminders of a special time in each person's life! The personal touches and intricate details always amaze me! What keepsakes for Ori and Doron!
Both cards represent the recipients so well. I know they must have loved them. #MMBC
What a fantastic card! I love the scene you have set for Ori and Doron's card is a fun one! I love the theme of it. Great work!
These are so fun and fabulous! I always love all the little details you add.
I think it is as much fun to learn about the people receiving the cards as it is seeing the finished cards and the special pieces you make for them. I am also amazed at how much travel is a part of so many lives. Travel is the only thing we spend money on, where we are richer with the spending! #MMBC
your cards are always unique and full of personal details - I love them and your individual approach to each card is my greatest inspiration :)
What wonderful personalized cards! I especially love the Big Apple one!
As always, lovely creation. 😊
