Pairs Well With...

August 05, 2013

Our best-selling "Welcome Baby" elephants card, shown here in pink, pairs perfectly with Sharon Montrose's baby elephant photograph from The Animal Print Shop. We think this would make a fab baby present combo! Sharon's photographs of animals are amazing!

Custom Pink and Green New Year's Card

December 30, 2012

One of my favorite projects of 2012 was this New Year's card I designed for one of my dearest friends. 


Cassie is deeply involved in raising awareness about animal welfare issues, particularly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and contributes to the community by participating in animal rescues, collecting supplies for animals in need, and working with various animal-related organizations. She wanted a New Year's card featuring a photo of her furry family (are they not the cutest?!) and using her favorite colors - pink and green. She also wanted the card to share some information about Paw's Cause, an event she is co-chairing in early spring that benefits the SPCA of Texas.


I used a bold green on the front of the 5x7 card to match Josie the parrot's bold feathers. On the back, I created a fun hand drawn paw print pattern in pink and green. 


I am wild about this card and how all of the elements came together. I also cannot get over how photogenic Cassie's sweet pets are! To learn more about Paw's Cause, visit the SPCA's site here.

New Personalized Stationery Designs for Babies and Children

October 30, 2012

Our custom personalized cards have really taken off since they were first launched this summer. I've been spending a lot of time brainstorming and drawing new designs and am excited to share two new flat note cards! 

First up, a flat card with small hand-drawn zoo animals - an elephant, a lion, a giraffe, and a zebra - lining the bottom. This is my new personal favorite!



Next up, another flat card featuring tiny little ducks. The "Welcome Little One" baby card with ducklings and their mother is our most popular baby card, so I decided to feature a similar design as a personalized option. The background is a pale yellow. 



Both cards would be perfect for a new baby or child's gift and work for either a boy or a girl! You can see more custom designs in our online portfolio here. Get in touch if you'd like to learn more about our options for personalized stationery.

Card of the Week: Welcome Little One Baby Ducks

October 01, 2012

This week's card of the week is a design that has been flying off of the shelves lately - "Welcome Little One" with baby ducks. We nearly sold out of this one at the Dallas Flea a few weeks ago.

This perfect card for a new little baby is gender neutral and features hand drawn little ducks set against a very pale yellow background. 

You can pick it up in the shop here! Remember - free shipping on all orders through October 15 (no code necessary)!

Card of the Week: Welcome Baby Elephants Print

September 10, 2012

This week's card of the week is one of Happy Cactus' bestsellers and a personal favorite of mine - "Welcome Baby Elephants" in blue and pink.

A simple little elephant drawing turned into such a cheerful and fun baby card. Elephants with their trunks pointing up are good luck, too! You can check out both version in the store here.

I've used this same pattern for personalized flat note cards which make for a perfect baby gift. Recently, I've been working on some other animal designs that I hope to share with you soon!

Recent Custom Stationery for Babies

July 24, 2012

I've worked on a number of custom stationery pieces over the past few weeks and am thrilled to share them with you. I loved working on each project. Beware - there are some new babies out there with some very stylish personal stationery! Interested in custom work? Contact me for more details at hello{at}happycactusdesigns.com!

First up, custom flat cards for babies Juliana and Eleanor. Delicate little hand drawn flowers and dots surround their names. Eleanor's stationery was done with a fabulous font; Juliana's cards featured hand lettering. 











Next, custom stationery I did for my precious nephew, Montgomery, who was born in March. He is quite the popular young man and has already gone through two batches of stationery! I used the same elephants featured on the Rows of Elephants baby card on the front and back.
