the air line
Ryan and his love of airplanes is the real deal. Coming up on 18 years of marriage, I can honestly say THIS is a love that dates back to his childhood. One that is a teeny bit close to an obsession. When traveling, he is the guy listening to the pilots talk to air traffic control (when we used to be able to), the one who knows the type of plane we are on before we get to the airport, and the one who told me he wishes he was that guy who holds those flags and directs the plane to the gates just to be near them. When he lived in Haiti as a pre-teen, he actually sat in the cockpit and flew a plane full of passengers. (Scary!) So, out of his heart and soul, this air line was created. And also in Ryan style, these had to be simple & clean.
So for the lover of airplanes, traveling, seeing the world and living in awe and wonder, these are for you too!

holiday gift guide: wall art
If you haven’t noticed, we are in LOVE with the new wall art, printed on Metal or Thin Wrap Canvas. And we are just getting started! We will have more and more coming soon. So, just in case you are as busy as we are, we thought we would highlight a few that we are loving the most right now. Every piece is fully customizable: colors, fonts, text, and layouts can all be modified just like our cards! We send proofs of everything before printing and it can be that perfect one-of-a-kind gift for someone you love, or yourself! And if you have a fabulous idea that you would love to see for wall art, tell us here and potentially get it for half the price! Cheers!
celebrating boys
Something sweet has just been added to the card baby category. Be sure and check the back of the card for extra cuteness.
Rearranging
Just like moving into a new house, there are always things that need to be rearranged and moved around a bit before you are totally settled. That’s what’s happening here! At the launch of our new site in August, we thought it would be super simple to put everything into one category and it would be magical. Now we realize, simplicity became complexity. So, now, cards and wall art are in separate places and it feels oh.so.good!
Be sure and peek at the sections for wall art and cards. The holiday card section is feeling festive!
some classics
Some of you who have been with us a while, remember the classics. We’ve added some of them back to the catalog. These are some of our best sellers over the years… and they work the more “conventional” way. Everything on the front and the classic holiday greetings.
So… if you love(d) them, check ‘em out!

the box
Why are we making non-holiday designs this close to the holidays?
a) Sometimes it feels good to make a design that says what you are thinking.
b) This would make an awesome gift as a piece of art for someone this season.
c) It’s a great reminder when choosing a holiday card. There are plenty of places to get holiday cards that fit right in the box. What if you created one that didn’t?
Feel free to check “the box” out for some inspiration.
another one…
Keeping with the “chart” theme of the day, we have another design. It might be a little pushy to some, but that’s alright. We could use some more push with this message. Check “bring back” here.
that…
Another card for the holidays, specifically the new year. There is a lot you can do with this one: so think creatively. A wedding, falling in love, the birth of a new baby, or a move could fill up large portions. Or single words could fill the chart, words like joy, peace, stress, and tired. You know have some fun!
That.
Kisses and Rejoice!
Two more designs just added! Can you start to feel the spirit! : )
new designs
New designs show up all the time. Here are two that are brand new.
The design Thyself comes from a fabulous client who sent in her ideas and we were inspired! Be sure to check out the “share it” section and submit your ideas. We love it!
all new!
All of our “holiday” designs have an idea for the back of each card. We realized all the great ideas in our heads were not in yours so much. So we are letting you see what we are thinking! We think you will love it.
Take note of the “previous” design listed (see orange arrow with design name next to it) as you visit each page for ease of seeing each design without going back to the catalog. Also be sure and notice the white and grey arrows next to the design itself to see the backs of each design.
As you know with Mango Ink, all text can be changed to anything you love. All colors can be changed to anything you love. Simply upload your photos to your favorite design, tell us everything you want to have on the card, and your personal designer will email you your proof and work with you until it’s beautiful and totally you.
a sad day
Today Steve Jobs died. Why is it that we can be so affected by the death of someone we’ve never met? What does it mean that thousands of people are being moved to write eulogies for someone they have never known? Why am I even writing this?
It means Steve Jobs was, of course, one of those people that will be remembered throughout history. He lived passionately, inspirationally, and he lived life to the fullest and because of that this world will not forget him easily. Nor will I.
That Apple logo is everywhere. I see it every day, I use products that carry it every day, and, from now on, every time I see it, I will be reminded of a man who lived life well.
My favorite tag line of Apple was “think different”. Sometimes that’s what it takes to break the same old systems that run this world. May we all think a little differently and make this world a better, more beautiful, place.
Rest in peace, Steve Jobs.
breast cancer awareness
in honor of my friend lori, who lost her battle with cancer yesterday. our hearts break for her husband and kids. she already is so terribly missed. this is for you lori… for the beautiful strength and grace you faced each treatment. while breast cancer is not the form of cancer she battled, it is fitting for us to participate in breast cancer awareness month in her honor.
this piece of wall art, or stationery is a great reminder to the women battling breast cancer right now. we are offering it at 40% off for all of october. use code PINK at checkout and give it to any woman you know to remind her who she is.
be weird!
It’s no secret if you know us: we love Seth Godin. Why? Quotes like the one below from his latest book, We Are All Weird.
“Are you confident enough to encourage people to do what’s right and useful and joyful, as opposed to what the
system has always told them to do?”
It obviously applies to some pretty big, deep things in life. But it also applies to the smaller, on the surface, petty things in life… including holiday cards.
blatantly beautiful + fun inspiration for your holiday card greetings
