Greeting Card Design That Feels Handmade

Make your special moments unforgettable with custom greeting cards that mix humor and warmth. I don’t use templates; I create each design by hand to make sure your message is unique.

Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, a new baby, or a business achievement, I add that personal touch you’re looking for.

What I Design Here

  • Illustrated greeting cards: birthday, thank you, holiday, and just-because cards. I draw the character or scene to fit your message.
  • Wedding card design: save-the-dates, invitations, and thank-you cards that match. I keep the style consistent across the set.
  • Birth and baby announcements: simple, warm, and easy to personalize with names and dates.
  • Card design for shops and brands: if you sell cards, I can create a small collection with a consistent look. That’s where set design comes in: I plan the series so the cards work together on a rack.

My Card Design Process

  1. Tell me the occasion. Who is it for and what tone do you want — funny, sweet, or formal?
  2. I sketch. I draw 2–3 quick ideas by hand. You pick the one that feels right.
  3. I build it. I ink and color the art, set the type, and lay it out for A6, A7, or square formats.
  4. You get print files. Ready for your local printer or online service, with bleed and safe margins.

Want a test? Send me the wording, and I’ll sketch a quick cover idea.

What You Get

  • Front art + inside layout (if needed)
  • Print-ready PDF with bleed
  • Source file (AI or PSD)
  • Web JPG for email or social sharing

For wedding suits, you get the full set designed to match.

Frequently Asked Questions

I start with your message. You give me the text and the feeling you want. I sketch a few character ideas that fit, not generic clip art.

Yes. I design the save-the-date, invitation, and thank-you as one family. Same illustration style, same typography, different layouts.

Every card begins as a pencil drawing in my studio. I scan it, then finish it digitally for a clean print.

Mostly A6 (105x148mm), A7, and 5×5 inch square. I set up the file to your printer’s spec, US or European sizes.

Yes. That’s set design. I create 6 to 12 cards with a consistent theme so they look good together on display.

I can. I leave editable text layers, or I can set each name for you before printing.

A print PDF with bleed, the source art file, and a web JPG. For custom orders, I include a version without text so you can reuse the art later.
