5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely phenomenal cards. I was a little skeptical cause they are printed in the artists home, but the print job is phenomenal. You can tell Ashley has been doing this for awhile. The weight of the paper is good, the designs are just stunning, and packaging was cute <3 I’m so looking forward to my whimsical friends getting them. I know they will love them just as much as me. My only feedback would be that the brown envelopes for the cards are quite tight. It can be a pain to get the cards in and out of them. Same for the plastic box the cards come in. The white envelopes fit perfectly though :) As a small business owner I know how important that feedback is! So thought I’d include it

Check out the paper crafting book I contributed to: Creative Cut Cards.
"If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere." -Vincent Van Gogh
Hello! I'm Ashley. I'm a watercolor painter and stationery designer living in the beautiful state of Michigan. While as a child I loved sketching and painting, I chose to study natural sciences in college, focusing on how landscapes change through time, and the geography of plants in North America. My love for nature is now reflected in my artwork. I aim to abstract and express what nature teaches me, rather than attempt to paint the earth accurately.
Since starting my handmade business almost 10 years ago in October 2007, I have been lucky enough to be featured in local galleries such as The Lansing Art Gallery and the Old Art Building in Leland, Michigan; beautiful boutiques such as K Colette in Maine; independent bookstores such as Literati in Ann Arbor, MI; and I've even had the chance to work with international brands such as Urban Outfitters. I have also contributed card-making tutorials for the book "Creative Cut Cards", published by Lark Crafts in 2016.

Custom and personalized orders
I love doing custom work! It is my specialty and I enjoy creating to meet your needs. I can customize most text on any of my printed products; I can create custom quantities to meet the size of your event; I can also paint custom artwork - I would love to hear what you have in mind! Please contact me any time to get started.
Rush Orders
I understand the need for rush orders, and I will certainly try my best to accommodate you. Please message me BEFORE purchasing to ensure that I will be able to fulfill your order on short notice. For rush orders that need to be received in less than a week, there may be a rush order fee applied. Priority Mail and Express Mail options are also available at checkout for faster delivery.
Processing Times
Different products have different processing and production times. Most products are made-to-order in 1-5 business days. Custom portraits and paintings may take up to 2 weeks before shipment. Processing times are listing on each product page under "shipping & policies". Business days are Monday - Friday. Please contact me with any questions!
Returns and Cancellations
Cancellations of non-personalized and non-custom items are accepted within 12 hours of purchase. After 12 hours, your item may already be in production and for this reason, are not eligible for cancellation. All items are specially made-to-order, just for you!
Instant downloads are not eligible for returns or cancellations, so please read product descriptions carefully. If you have any questions about a product, you are always welcome to message me at any time!
Products damaged in the mail are eligible for a swift, free replacement if a photo of the damage is provided.
What is the custom portrait process?
When you purchase a custom portrait listing, the process begins when you send me photos of the animal that you would like painted. Custom portraits usually only include the animal's head and face, but full-body portraits may work with the right photograph. After receiving your pet photo(s), I will create the painting. I will place the painting on a mock-up of the product you ordered for final approval. Upon approval, your custom item will begin the production process and will be shipped to you as quickly as possible. Approved artwork and designs are not eligible for returns or exchanges. If you do not approve of the painting, small adjustments to the painting can be made as requested.
Shipping Method & Package Acceptance
All products ship via USPS First Class and Priority Mail. Upgrades to Express Mail are also offered. Signature confirmation upon delivery is also available upon request. Original paintings and orders over $100 in value may automatically have signature confirmation applied to their delivery. Tracking for all packages will be provided via email. Please contact me at any time if you have any questions.
