🎉 Not your average birthday cards! 🎂

Skip the card aisle and give them something a little more special. Every birthday card is hand-painted by me, making each one unique. And there are so many fun designs to choose from - with even more on my website! 🎨💌

Because sometimes the card is part of the gift. ✨
And there’s just something extra special about giving a card that was made by hand, just for the occasion.

Customization is always an option, too, if you want to make it even more personal! 💕

A sweet Fourth of July card that was inspired by desserts I've made in Rhode Island with my family. Summer is the time we gather to see my extended family and there are certain foods (corn and bean dip!) that will always remind me of summer gatherings, laughter and family - berry desserts are one of my summer favorites.

"Berry Flag" - painted by hand, one berry at a time 🍓🤍🫐

You've probably spotted these little floral stickers tucked into Water and Ink orders. . . and now they're finally available to purchase! 🌼🌿✨

Each sticker is made from a real flower or piece of greenery that has been carefully pressed and preserved. Most of the blooms come straight from my garden or my family's gardens, making each set a tiny collection of homegrown stickers 🥰

Perfect for journals, gift wrapping, snail mail, or adding a special touch to anything you create. No two sets are exactly alike, and that's part of the magic.

I can't wait to see where these flowers end up! 💓

Available now on my website for ordering or simply send me a message!
