About Shannon Martin

A seasoned graphic designer, entertaining writer and lifetime prankster who was born to create cards, Shannon loves what she does and hopes you do, too.  This year, Shannon’s line has expanded into bath salts, in addition to her best-selling greeting cards, magnets, beverage napkins, sticky notes and note pads.

Shannon attributes any artistic tendencies to her mother, who used to paint faces on the fruit she put in her children's lunches. She has a background in art and design and draws inspiration from Joseph Cornell, Anne Lamott and her hero, Pippi Longstocking.

A well known presence in the gift and stationery industry, she is grateful to split her time between her home studio and Madison Park Greetings, which happens to be just down the street. Shannon is happiest on her front porch with family and friends, and her most recent collection of dogs.
