Holiday Cards!

There are so many Holiday Cards out there!
How do you choose?
Recycled? Christmas? Holiday? Blank? Glitter? Funny? Christian? Hannukah? New Years? Help!!


Believe me, it was difficult for us as well!

Here are some of our favorites!

Let's start with PaPaYa!


"Christmas Child"

This card is beautiful! The colors are brilliant!


In 2003 PAPAYA! was founded by Gina & Anahata Katkin. A mother/daughter team armed with a vision of Creative Abandon and a heap of determination. PAPAYA! started with just 20 blank greeting card designs in a southern California dining room. Many of the designs originated from Anahata’s handmade art journals and were adapted for print. Knowing they wanted to share a visual perspective of global culture, brave imagery, and powerful color, PAPAYA! was born. Today, PAPAYA! is celebrated all over the world by retailers and fans alike. PAPAYA! is now a thriving manufacturer enjoying a constant stream of new ideas, inspirations, materials, and added artists.

    Of Course, we saved our favorite for last! Ken's Kards!

    "Snow Day in Central Park"

    Ken's Kards
    are individually printed by hand using archival inks. They are printed on a watercolor paper, bleeding off of a hand-torn deckled edge. Ken's Original Photographs help make these notecards unique.

    The Photos on these cards were taken in our back yard or on our walks or in our travels.
    Always at the ready when something beautiful caught our eye!
