My favorite season

Christmas & holiday cards are my favorite to design — and where I still go all out.

Family photo cards, corporate holiday mailers, custom illustrated designs — every card is laid out by hand, proofed with you, and sent to press with enough lead time to actually arrive before the 25th.

  • Photo & non-photo layouts
  • Folded or flat 5×7 cards
  • Foil, matte or glossy finishes
  • Addressed, stamped & mailed for you
  • Hand-pressed wax seals
  • Custom envelopes & liners
  • Personalized “From Santa” tags
  • Digital + print delivery

Book your Christmas cards by November 27 and save on design: $20 off cards with two or more designed sides, or $10 off cards with one, folded or flat.

Photo Services

Don’t let old photos fade away.

Whether it’s a shoebox of prints, a torn portrait of your grandparents, or photos that have faded to orange — I’ll digitize them, repair the damage, and bring the color back, so the memories outlast the paper they’re printed on.
