Star Trek Christmas Cards

Wa-hey! A few weeks ago I finally finished designing my Star Trek themed Christmas cards for this year! I'm really chuffed with how they've turned out!


I decided a few months back that I wanted to make some Star Trek inspired Crimbo cards, as it was then that I started to watch the original series for the first time and just fell in love with it!
So as you can see I've created a card for each original series character, and each one has their own unique greeting (receiving some help from my boyfriend in this department)!

Kirk: "To boldly go where no Christmas has gone before!"
Spock: "Have a Logical Christmas"
McCoy: "Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not Santa Claus!"
Scotty: "I just cannae drink any more whiskey, Captain!"
Sulu: "Approaching Christmas at Warp Factor 10, Captain!"
Chekhov: "Have a wery Merry Christmas"
Uhura: "We wish you a Merry Christmas!" (But written in Klingon - I'm aware she doesn't speak Klingon in the original series, but she does in the new movies, so thats my loophole and I'm sticking to it)!

So there we go! They were really fun to make - I've probably never been so bold with backgrounds colours before!
I got them printed at the wonderful Ripe Digital, who did a top notch job on them, they do a great quality digital print and I whole heartedly recommend them to anyone who wants anything printed digital!

But aha! These cards aren't just for my pleasure, I'm bringing them out to the world! I have just opened an Etsy shop, and you can buy yourself a pack of 7 cards (with envelopes) from there for £5! So if you have any Star Trek fan friends then you should get buyin'! As I think they'll love them!
