Not every custom card of mine goes crazy with lots of detail. When a custom order for a baptism congratulations card came through, I had one simple idea: the fellow standing in water wearing a traditional baptism robe. And yes, congratulations Paul!

Galina + Max are two of my good friends. Their one-year anniversary just passed and Galina ordered this custom card to give to Max. Inspired by their actual wedding (you’ll find photos of that via here), I recreated the ceremony site decor, her dress, and his suit — but of course in paper form. And added a sign post with the reason for such a card.

Summer is full on and all graduation parties have ended — and I’m only now getting around to sharing this custom card with you. A wife ordered this for her husband who is going through the tough path of getting his doctor’s degree and just wrapped up one leg of his journey…

My husband is an avid guitar player, so I was thrilled when a gal ordered this for her guy friend. I almost convinced myself that I was actually making this card for my husband. It became such a personal card to me, even though it was for someone else…

I get all giddy when my customers order custom cards — for themselves. I secretly blush over on this end. It’s not every day someone orders a card just to have one of my creations sitting on their desk. This was one of those cards. The gal has a passion for shoes and has one too many, so therefore, a shoe heaven had to be created for her.
