About the Physical Greeting Cards
Well, hey there! My name is Susan from Arizona and I am a semi-retired life coach and mostly full-time greeting card maker.
I've been creating physical handmade greeting cards since 2000 and have made hundreds. When I started, my goal was to try at least one new technique every weekend, and once I found something I liked, I made quite a few. My collection grew into the hundreds, and now I'm selling them.
My physical greeting cards are created as one-of-a kind artwork. All are in some way hand-assembled, hand-painted and/or hand-inked by me. You won't find perfection in my cards as you might in a commercially-printed greeting card, but you will find a piece of art that I put my heart, soul, imagination and good vibes into and you are supporting a small, new business. If you like that sort of thing, then Ahhh Designs greeting cards are for you!
A greeting card wholesale program for brick-and-mortar stores is in the works. Fill out the form on my Contact page, and let me know you are interested in the wholesale program for reselling my handmade physical cards. I'll then send you the Wholesale Program directives for physical cards.
About the Printable Greeting Cards
In 2026 I re-connected with an old love, digital design. My digital art journey started in the late 1990s and I've come full circle after a couple detours. I truly love creating digital greeting cards as well. That was when Ahhh Digital was born.
A digital greeting card commercial use program for brick-and-mortar stores to print my digital cards and stock them in your store is in the works. Fill out the form on my Contact page, and let me know you are interested in my digital greeting card commercial use program. I'll then send you the Commercial Use directives for digital cards.
About the Company
"Ahhh" has become a brand name for me over the years in other entrepreneurial endeavors, so it only made sense to name my new greeting card store Ahhh Designs LLC.
Pronounce it as it is spelled but slooooowly with the tone and feeling of peace, tranquility, and contentment. Ahhh

About Me
Learning new greeting card design techniques has challenging me to step outside my comfort zone. Over time, that challenge turned into BEing in my creative zone. If you know, you know. 😃 It is rare for me to "plan out" a card and then make it. I make it as I go using the intuitive process. I never know how it will end up looking, and that is fun for me!
An interesting twist to my card-making is that I'm also a semi-retired certified life coach and work with clients in the practice of changing their thoughts to change their life and use a protocol that shows them exactly how their thoughts have created where they are now. These days, I channel everything I’ve learned—about people, myself, emotions, and not taking life too seriously—into designing greeting cards that are funny, relatable, and just the right amount of unfiltered.
One more not so well known thing about me is that as far back as I can remember, I've loved making people laugh. I’m told I was a happy, giggly child… and not much has changed.
Because sometimes, the best thing you can give someone… is a laugh they didn’t see coming.
If you have made it this far and still reading this page, reach out and say something that will make me giggle. That would be ahhhsome!
