Cozy Autumn Cards, Back-to-School Surprise Heading Your Way
Happy August! By now, our Monthly Card Club members should have their Beach Besties bundles safely tucked into their desk drawers. We hope those sun-soaked scenes are helping you send the perfect summer check-ins to your ride-or-die friends. 
Later this month, our Card Club members will receive brand-new, hand-designed collection to help them welcome the pumpkin spice season in style. We’re making sure you’ll be prepared for the fresh autumn air with our seasonal-but-versatile collection packed with rich harvest tones. 
Cozy Autumn Cards Bring a Seasonal Vibe
Artist Barb Puhak was inspired by the slow, cozy transition to autumn, and captured some of the quiet, comforting moments of the season.
- Afternoon Escapes: Who doesn’t love the feeling of snuggling under a blanket and getting lost in a good book on a brisk afternoon?
- Backyard Bounty: Slow down and share a sweet, seasonal scene with a friend far away.
- Coffee and Company: Sometimes the best moments are those quiet times shared with our four-legged friends.
- Autumn Errands: There’s nothing like the feeling of a brisk autumn bike ride and the smell of freshly baked bread.

Think Ahead to Those September Birthdays 
Make it a special day for your favorite September-born humans! September people tend to be practical, loyal, and organized. They strive for balance while always being incredibly supportive and thoughtful friends.
Their birthstone is the deep and majestic sapphire, a blue gem that has traditionally symbolized wisdom, virtue, and good fortune. Ancient people believed sapphires protected their wearers from harm.
The month of September brings the Autumn Equinox (22nd), officially marking the transition into fall in the Northern Hemisphere. In addition to peak apple picking season, fall foliage and Labor Day, September lays claim to National Happy Cat Month, National Hug Your Hound Day (11th), International Talk Like a Pirate Day (19th), and National Punctuation Day (24th).
Kids born in September are usually the oldest in their class, which often gives them a confidence boost in school – as well as a size advantage on the sports field. With such a strong start in life, it’s no wonder our friends born in September are such natural-born leaders.
September Sneak Peek 
It feels like summer just started, but next month, we are looking forward to peak fall! We are currently designing our September card set. This upcoming collection will feature versatile, all-occasion cards that still embrace beautiful, cozy fall aesthetics. 🍂 And we’re even looking ahead to October, preparing to share some exclusive Halloween fun! 🎃
