When I became a mum last April, I had this beautiful vision of creating baby milestone cards as my little one grew. I imagined designing each card month by month, capturing those precious moments in a way that felt meaningful and creative. But as any new parent knows, life with a newborn is unpredictable. Between sleepless nights, endless cuddles, and the whirlwind of new experiences, my creative spark faded, and my idea remained just that—an idea.
For months, I felt creatively blocked. I hadn’t drawn in ages, and every time I thought about picking up my iPad, I hesitated. Something was missing, and I wasn’t sure how to get it back.
Then, in January, I decided to take a class with Genna Blackburn, an artist I’ve admired for a long time. Her prompts were simple yet inspiring—draw a bouquet, a cat on a shelf, a playful pattern. With every little sketch, I could feel my creativity slowly returning. I started using my baby’s nap times to draw, and for the first time in months, I felt that joyful rush of inspiration again.
That’s when I knew it was time to finally bring my milestone card idea to life.
Since plantable stationery is at the heart of what I do, it only made sense to create a set of plantable baby milestone cards—a version of traditional milestone cards with an eco-friendly, meaningful twist.
Standard baby milestone cards often get tucked away in a drawer or a keepsake box, rarely to be looked at again. I wanted these milestone cards to have a second life, something that felt just as special after they were used.
Each card is designed with a colorful and funky pattern—a reflection of the joy and vibrancy of childhood. But the magic truly happens after they’ve been used. Instead of tucking them away, you can plant them in soil and watch them grow into beautiful flowers. It’s a way to celebrate milestones in a way that gives back to the planet—a keepsake that doesn’t just hold memories but creates new life.
Now, after days of designing, testing, and perfecting, I’m thrilled to announce that our plantable milestone cards are officially here! 🎉 It’s been an incredible journey, from rediscovering my creativity to bringing this sustainable vision to life.
I hope these cards bring as much joy to your family as they have to mine. 💛 They are available now, ready to help you celebrate your baby's journey in a way that grows and gives back to nature. Let’s make memories that bloom!
