Celebrations are how we mark the moments that shape our lives—milestones, traditions, gatherings, and personal joys worth sharing. They are expressions of connection, identity, and care, and they deserve thoughtful design.
Seastripes creates custom paper goods and hand-painted illustrations for celebrations of all kinds. From holiday cards and announcements to personal stationery, custom artwork, and event paper, each piece is designed with originality, intention, and attention to detail.
Every celebration project is approached with the same level of creativity and care, regardless of scope. The process is collaborative, guided, and welcoming—so the result feels personal, artful, and singularly yours.
Celebration projects take many forms. Some are single pieces created to mark a specific moment; others grow into small collections or recurring traditions. Common projects include:
-
Holiday cards and seasonal stationery
-
Invitations for parties, showers, graduations, and milestone celebrations
-
Baby announcements
-
New home or change of address cards
-
Personal stationery and correspondence sets
-
Custom illustrations and artwork - pet portraits, house portraits, custom maps
-
Illustrated keepsakes designed to be saved and shared
Projects may be one-time commissions or ongoing collaborations. Each begins with original artwork and is designed to feel intentional and complete.
Illustration is at the heart of our celebration work at Seastripes. Each project begins with hand-painted artwork developed specifically for you, whether created for a single moment or revisited year after year.
Creative collaboration creates work that feels personal, expressive, and enduring.
Regardless of the scope, every celebration project follows a guided process from start to finish. Design, illustration, production coordination, and fulfillment are handled with care, so the experience feels collaborative, clear, and well-supported throughout.
Pricing
Most celebration projects begin at $250, with final pricing reflecting scope, quantity, and timeline. This studio minimum ensures each project receives the same level of care, originality, and guided support regardless of size.
Whether you’re commissioning a single piece or a collection of paper goods, we’re happy to help determine an approach that fits your needs and goals
Holiday Cards
Holiday cards are one of the most enduring and heartfelt traditions of the season, yet one of the easiest things to put off. Seastripes offers a white-glove holiday card experience designed to remove the logistics from your list while preserving what makes the tradition meaningful.
Clients may choose between fully custom hand-painted artwork or using their photos alongside custom watercolor elements. Cards can be fully managed and mailed for you, or prepared to allow space for personal signatures.
From concept and design through printing, assembly, and mailing, the entire process is managed for you. You share your ideas, photos, and mailing list. We handle the rest—so your cards are completed, sent, and checked off your December to-do list with care.
Each year, a limited number of holiday card projects are accepted to ensure every piece receives the attention it deserves.
