Custom Stationery

Welcome! I'm Kara, the artist
behind Kara Michelle Design.

I am passionate about capturing each client’s unique vision and turning it into personal, and beautiful stationery. My work often features hand-painted illustration, from elegant, whimsical details to custom elements like venue illustrations and pet portraits. Always designed to make your wedding feel uniquely yours!

I create everything from full invitation suites and save the dates to menus, place cards, signage, and all the thoughtful details in between. Truly anything you can dream up!

If you love the idea of a beautifully branded wedding with details like custom watercolor artwork, you’re in the right place. The wedding planning season is so special, and I’d be honored to be a small part in bringing your vision to life!

  • "Working with Kara on my save the dates and wedding invitations was an absolute dream! She immediately understood my vision and was so easy to work with as we refined the small edits and details. Her wedding suite assembly service was a lifesaver while I was moving across the country during wedding planning. Everyone who has seen the invitations so far has said they are beautiful, and it makes me even more excited for our big day. Thank you again, Kara!"  - Mattison
