Sweet Basil Design - Birthday Cards, Greeting Cards, Vintage Cards, Sympathy Cards, Handmade Cards

For the past fifteen years, Megan Humphrey has been creating handmade, unique collage cards which utilize vintage postcards and images. Lace, ribbons, buttons and some glitz add the finishing touch. Antique Valentines were Megan's original inspiration and her collage card line now includes major holidays and life's celebrations. In addition, she produces a line of simple, yet elegant, linoleum print cards.

On a slightly philosophical note, Megan feels as though, "We seem to have lost the art of taking the thoughtful time to sit quietly and write a letter." She continues, "In honor of the past, I hope that my cards, in some small measure, encourage communication the old-fashioned way."

Megan lives in Burlington, Vermont with her sweetheart, Terry. She is lucky enough to enjoy studio space in a renovated building behind her home.
