Etsy Valentine Card Picks - 2018

I love Etsy. I really do. It’s not just because I am a card designer who sells through Etsy, but it is because of the myriads of talented artists and makers who showcase their work on that site. There really are SO many different makers and products on Etsy that it can sometimes be hard to find the best of the best — especially when it comes to greeting cards.

New Cards - This Changes Everything!

Today I added over 20 new cards and art prints to my shop. I have been working so crazy hard on these for the past two months and am stoked to finally have them up and ready to go!   This summer I had gone on a road trip with some friends to Waco, Texas. While we were shopping we stumbled upon an awesome boutique that carried beautiful cards from several designers I had seen online. When I saw that they had their designs out in the real world (not just online) it lit a fire inside of me. I came...
