Every year around the beginning of November, once Halloween has passed, I think I’ll get creative and make things to give friends and family for Christmas. This year I went as far as searching Pinterest for DIY craft ideas made out of tin cans, baby food jars, buttons, etc.. I was really in a creative mood.. in November. December is here now and I just want to do what’s easy.  What’s easy, for me, is buying gifts.  My kids like to give their teachers crafty gifts so we usually go to holiday markets and festivals where we find the most beautiful handmade items to give as gifts.

I feel so lucky to have been contacted by a lovey lady named Masha D’yans, a Los Angeles resident and incredible artist who creates greeting cards for all occasions inspired by nature, fairy tales, Japan, and her refusal to grow up.   Masha’s cards, products and picture books are found in shops around the United States and abroad.   Her illustrated greeting cards are perfect gifts to give teachers, friends, family and coworkers!

Masha’s designs are a combination of whimsical and beautiful.  Her artwork appeals to children and adults alike.  Some of my favorites are Eskimo Gift, featuring the Northern Lights, Scratchy XMasTree, and Winter Trees Umbrella Walk.  The cards are $4 for one or $16 for a set of 8.   If you are absolutely in love with one particular card, by all means get a set of that card, but with the variety of designs Masha D’yans offers there’s no reason you shouldn’t get each of your child’s teachers, athletic coaches, friends, your coworkers, and family members a unique card, chosen specifically for them!

Cards are available for all occasions including Christmas, Halloween, wedding, baby, birthday, thank you, sympathy, Valentine’s, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and more!  Take a look at the full selection on Masha D’yans website.

Masha D’yans Design uses soy-based inks on recycled paper and the cards are assembled here in the U.S.

There’s still time to order Masha D’yans Design’s holiday cards!

Your purchase will arrive a few days after placing your order.
