Spotlight On Sara Jensen Design

At Pear Tree, we value collaboration as an integral part of the design process. We know that some of the most beautiful, influential design is born from working with others and sharing in the inspiration. That’s why today, we want to celebrate Sara Jensen, Genevieve Gorder’s Creative Director and a truly dynamic artist.

Spotlight On Sara Jensen Design

Sara’s work shows us how beautiful design and real life imagery can come together to make something incredible. She is a true visionary who excels at combining graphic design that is both elegant and modern with family photos that tell a story in an unexpected way. Her eye for detail can inspire all of us to try something a little different with our Christmas cards this year.

Sara’s touch is all over the designs in the Genevieve Gorder 2016 holiday collection, created exclusively for Pear Tree. This stunning collection makes it easy to create custom Christmas cards with that playful designer touch.

Take a Peek at Our Design Process!

Psst . . . want in on a secret?

Because you’re one of Pear Tree’s closest friends, we want to share this exclusive sneak peek behind the curtain of our design process. How does our team produce beautiful, innovative cards each and every year? We want to show you!

Our designers find inspiration in everyday moments and things, working hard to bring their visions to your hands. Creating a new format is always a challenge, but you’re only limited by your creativity. This process can take months of testing folds, cuts, and paper weights. By the time a holiday design concept for the year is finalized, the new card format will be a finished blank slate ready for artwork.

Lattice, Stripes and Everything Nice

The traditional is new again with the runway’s take on stripes, plaids, and lattice textures. These lines are anything but boring, with their varied thickness, direction, shape, and energy. They are an accessible trend that seamlessly blends in with the season’s holiday imagery.

This year features a modern twist on the classical pattern, pairing clean lines with bold designs. Stripes are a long-standing staple both in fashion and in decor. The novelty is in how different designers give it their signature touch. In this season, it is all about direction.
