There’s no denying that Ry Stephens’ cards and invitations are cute; her use of fresh, soothing colors combined with the clean design of each card makes them eminently warm and friendly. From thank you cards and birth announcements to party invites and holiday-themed cards, I love their elegant yet simple appeal.

However, what really draws me into her work is in the details. Take a close look at each card and you’ll see even more texture, beyond that of the paper: her graphics are handpainted! What’s more, there are extra accoutrements such as ribbon, felt and even Swarovski Crystals. As a result, each card is made to order–a rarity in today’s go-go-go world. Turn around time is an understandable 2-4 weeks; if you want to make a truly unique statement, I encourage you to visit Ry Stephens Design!
