People see the finished greeting cards, but they don't always see what goes on behind the scenes.

This is Accurate Repro, the printing company I trust to print my greeting cards.

After I finish creating an illustration, adding the color, refining the typography, and making sure everything is just right, I send the files to Accurate so they can print the finished cards.

I'm grateful to work with a great printing partner who helps me share encouragement, celebration, friendship, and the occasional silly chicken with all of you. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Remember when having a "mobile" phone didn't mean you could take it anywhere?

It just meant the cord was long enough to stretch halfway across the house! ๐Ÿ˜‚

You'd drag that phone into another room for a little privacy, hoping nobody would pick up another extension and start listening. ๐Ÿคฃ

Kids today will never know the struggle of untangling a phone cord or stretching it as far as it would go while talking to your friends.

I have to admit, there was something fun about growing up before smartphones. We talked for hours, memorized phone numbers, and somehow managed to make plans without texting every five minutes.

One of the reasons I love designing greeting cards is because they give us an easy way to celebrate the people in our lives.

A birthday card may only take a few moments to write, but the message inside can remind someone that they're loved, appreciated, remembered, and worth celebrating.

That's one of the reasons birthdays are my favorite occasion to design for. Every birthday is a blessing and another opportunity to remind someone they're worth celebrating.

August is MY month. Yep, I totally claim August! ๐Ÿ˜„

My birthday is on the 20th, and I believe in celebrating my birthday all month long.

No, I don't do something every day. It's more of a mindset. I smile a little brighter, and I feel a little more joyful.

And yes, I do treat myself to a little extra this and that throughout the month. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I believe everyone should claim their birthday month as a month of celebration!

My Birthday Month card is one of my more popular designs. Clearly, I'm not alone in thinking birthday month is a thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ’กAnd here's a little hack... If you can't remember the exact day of someone's birthday, but you know the month, mail them a birthday month card near the beginning of the month, and you're covered! LOL!

A few years ago, I made the decision to relaunch my greeting card business with a new focus.

Originally, I primarily designed cards for children. But it had been weighing heavily on me that so many adults were going through difficult seasons in life.

Every day on social media, I see posts from people who are facing challenges like:

โžก๏ธ Serious illness
โžก๏ธ Loss
โžก๏ธ Abuse
โžก๏ธ Struggling marriages
โžก๏ธ Financial stress
โžก๏ธ Parenting woes

At the same time, I also see something beautiful.

I see members of the village stepping up to help complete strangers. I see women sharing job leads, helping families find housing, sending money, buying groceries or diapers, and offering words of support and encouragement to people they've never even met.

Those posts inspired me.

I shifted the focus of my greeting card line toward creating cards that give adults another way to celebrate and support one another.

๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐—ท๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€.

I thought that for someone in a season of grief, sadness, uncertainty, or struggle, a card in the mail offering support or encouragement might brighten their day in a small, yet impactful, way.

๐Ÿ’Œ ๐—›๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ?

The message on the front of this card, coupled with your own personal message inside, might be just what someone needs.

Hi! I'm Stacey, the illustrator and designer behind Stacey M Design.

I create greeting cards that celebrate birthdays, encourage others, make people laugh, and remind them they're not alone. My collection features bright colors, bold typography, original illustrations, uplifting messages, a little bit of snark, and even the occasional silly chicken.

Whether you're looking for a birthday card, a thank you card, or a card that says exactly what someone needs to hear, I hope you'll find something you love.

When was the last time someone surprised you with a handwritten card?

Several years ago, when my son, Isaiah, was in elementary school, he started his own greeting card business. One of his favorite things to draw was snails, and they were absolutely adorable. I loved his artwork so much that I encouraged him to turn those drawings into greeting cards.

That little memory inspired me to create this snail card, which is completely inspired by Isaiah's original art.

Whether you're checking in on a friend, thanking a customer, encouraging a family member, or simply saying, "I've been thinking about you," this little snail is a fun reminder that real mail still has a way of making people smile.

๐ŸŒ Skip the text. Send snail mail instead.

You can find this card in my Etsy shop:
https://staceymdesign.etsy.com/listing/4521613854 ๐Ÿ’Œ

I also have one additional suggestion. Since Facebook tends to favor posts that encourage conversation, end with a simple question. Something like:

What's the last piece of snail mail you received that made you smile?

Today's National Ice Cream Day got me thinking about a few favorite childhood memories.

When I was growing up, dessert often meant ice cream. My mom usually bought Neapolitan and gave us a little of each of the three flavors. Because at the time chocolate was my favorite, I always saved it for last. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I also remember hearing the ice cream truck driving down our street during the summer. All of the neighborhood kids played outside during the summer, and as soon as we heard the "ice cream man" song, we'd run home to ask for money before the truck passed by. My favorite treat was always an ice cream sandwich!
