Brighten Mom’s Day with Our Latest eCard Release

Do you ever hear a song and it takes you back to those carefree summer days spent pedaling your bike home? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could capture that feeling and share it with others? We think our new card, It’s Your Day, comes pretty close to bottling up that essence. But don’t take our word for it. Take a look for yourself – it might just get you tapping your foot or inspire you to jump on your bike and go in search of adventure and flowers!

Use this card to celebrate the amazing women in your life with flowers, relaxing baths, and carefree moments this Mother’s Day, and beyond. You can also send it to a friend who needs a pick-me-up with seriously great vibes, as a thank-you note, birthday greeting, or for any other happy occasion. Let’s spread the joy and good vibes with It’s Your Day!

Did you miss our last newsletter? We released a new card titled Swinging Good Time and a birthday version of the card titled Swinging Birthday. The general version is great for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, to say congratulations, as a party invitation, to let someone know you are thinking about them, or just about any other occasion that calls for a band!

Valentine Ecards – Bed of Roses

For Valentine’s Day this year I wanted to create a card inspired by a great piece of music I had found. The first time I heard All This And You a story of two fish came alive; a story of great friendship, a celebration of love and of life. How amazing it is when you share the journey with friends and loved ones. For me this is what Valentine’s Day is really about. Not the fancy gifts or the grand gestures, as much as acknowledging what someone dear to you really means.

Our second card for Valentine’s Day, Bed of Roses, is a short and simple notecard, but the illustration itself is worthy of a special occasion like Valentine’s Day, anniversaries or birthdays. Cats are brilliant at finding the perfect spot to snuggle up. I imagine if they could sleep on a bed of roses they would not want to miss the chance. Who wouldn’t love to be indulged once in a while?

Happy New Year & a Heartfelt Thank You!

As we wrap up another year, we would like to thank you for your continued support and interest. The past year has given us a lot of reasons to be grateful and to continue to do meaningful work. Creating cards for you to share with your friends and family is our passion project. What makes it truly meaningful is that we see it making a difference in your lives. As something new this year, I started sharing much more of what we do behind the scenes before you see the card up on our site by posting several times a week to our Instagram. You are welcome to ask me questions there also if you are curious about anything or leave a comment.

New & Fun Holiday eCards for Christmas

More new cards for the holidays have been added to our website.

Whether you just absolutely adore flamingos, crave a different kind of holiday card or live somewhere where snow is not ever a part of the holiday season, Fa la la Mingo is a cute tropical Christmas ecard you have been searching for!

ojolie-flamingo

Growing up I had the great experience of celebrating the holidays in a few places, where we had to get creative – no pine trees, snow or any of the things I traditionally associated with Christmas to be found. To my great delight, I have since discovered that unusual ornaments have become a huge trend. Tropical birds and flamingos take center stage in this beautifully illustrated jungle card, set to an island tune that will get you in the mood for some real joy and fun, no matter where or how you celebrate.

This winter Christmas ecard, Wonderful Snow Time will inspire you to bust our your ice skates, snow tube or sled, if you are lucky enough to see a white Christmas or get nice snowfall. This card makes for a great season’s greetings and is set to a really upbeat holiday tune that is sure to spread delight. You can also check out all our Christmas ecards and New Year ecards.

We can’t wait to share all our new cards for the winter festive season. If you would like to follow along and see what we create in the studio and how these illustrations go from paper and paint to animation, you can follow us on Instagram as well.

From the smell of fresh baked cookies wafting through the house, to the joy of decorating them with your loved ones, no detail is left to chance. These little acts of love and care are the gifts of the season that inspired this ecard. We approached making this ecard with the same attention to detail, from visualizing the idea, to carefully hand-painting the elements that come together in the final card. We hope you and your recipients will enjoy it!
