November is National Adoption Awareness Month!

It is a joyous occasion when a loving future parent or parents decide to adopt – and go through all the steps to finally receive their child. Congratulations are definitely in order!

When I launched Design With Heart in 2015, I noticed there aren’t a lot of greeting card companies that offer Adoption Greeting Cards. As a father of two adopted children, an uncle to 3 adopted children and spouse to one adopted child, I felt a personal responsibility to design some cards which would fill this void.

If you are looking through our site, look for item numbers LG03, BB07 and BB08.

“I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act.”  — Janet Mock

At Design With Heart, we believe that everyone should have the same political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights. We’re an inclusive line of greeting cards – we look to inspire and encourage every woman, man, and all those in between. Our encouragement cards look to promote the feminist in all of us, to stay headstrong in the resistance and to be brave and bold.

We are thrilled that our designs have once again been recognized by Graphic Design USA. Out of 10,000 entries, our greeting cards were selected as a 2017 Graphic Design Award Winner!

Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) was an Aztec ritual that celebrated the lives of those who have deceased. The Spaniards who invaded Mexico tried to eliminate this seemingly offensive month-long holiday with no success. Dia de los Muertos was eventually merged with the Catholic All-Saints day and All-Souls day on November 1st and 2nd.

Tradition has it that sugar art dates back to the 17th century when Italian missionaries visited the New World. Mexicans during that time period had very little money and learned from the Catholic friars how to make decorations out of an ingredient they had plenty of – sugar.

Molds were made of clay and the sugar decorations were used to adorn the church and gravestones and were a part of the ofrendas – the collection of objects placed on an altar for the holiday. For the Dia de los Muertos celebrations, the sugar was pressed into sugar skulls; each sugar skull represented an individual and their name was often inscribed on the forehead of the skull.

Our Sugar Skull Greeting Card is debuting this year. We’ve crafted our intricate skull design in shimmered silver ink.
