I met Chelsea and her Mom on a cold day in the winter of 2018. We had met years before at a craft show in Maine. They had been in to our favorite shop in Portland (Visibility), and the gals there referred Chelsea to us when she remarked on our...
These colorful flowers were so much fun to paint! Crystal and John Michael had some great ideas for their wedding invitation custom design, and I was thrilled that this fun couple trusted me to bring their vision to life. Naturally, since we too are cat lovers, it was a perfect...
It is always a wonderful compliment when a favorite El's Cards client contacts me about their wedding plans! In this case, it was Ann, the Mother of the Bride, who reached out to me last spring. To be thought of for these special occasions is by far the best news...
In May of 2018, I had a call from Julie about creating the invitations for her Labor Day weekend wedding. She loved one of our existing invitation suites and wanted to customize the invitation to be her very own. A fully custom invitation is wonderful, but it can be just as much fun to...

We met Heather at a wedding event in the summer of 2017. The bride had seen our custom maps and was interested in having us do the wedding invitations with a few custom elements and a totally custom wedding map! We set a date to meet that fall, and the...
Every year there is an invitation design that is our most popular! I can officially call 2018 "The Year of the Mussel Shell"! Elissa got in touch with me in autumn of 2017 about her September 2018 wedding. She loved the mussel shell design and was very excited about including our...
A large part of El's Cards business is our craft show season. We love doing these shows because it gets us out in public (yes...wearing comfy clothes to work at home every day is great...but we do enjoy getting out of the house too!). One of the most fun benefits...
