Our Philosophy
Kindle Arts & Cards has been creating environmentally friendly greeting cards since 2005. We began with two assortments of holiday cards, and now have over 50 card designs and are adding more all the time.
Environmental Ethic
We strive to use solely 100% post-consumer waste/100% process chlorine free recycled paper in our cards and envelopes. Our primary card paper is a 100# cover Astrolite PC100 from Monadnock Paper Mills in Bennington, NH. In addition to being 100% recycled, Astrolite PC100 is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. Comprised of various forestry and environmental groups, the Forest Stewardship Council’s forestry standards are the only ones to be globally recognized by environmental groups such as the World Wildlife Fund. Monadnock’s printing papers are made using 100% renewable electrical energy and are manufactured carbon neutral. For more information, visit Monadnock’s website.
Other Offerings
In addition to greeting cards, we offer original works of art, and an array of printing and web design services. We have designed and printed wedding announcements, birthday invitations, custom art for business cards, educational clipart, event tickets, postcards, and more.

Our Family
We are a family-owned company, doing business out of our home in Easton, PA. Lauren creates our artwork and manages sales, Ian handles design and printing, while Nell and Morgan inspire us and keep us always busy.
Lauren
Lauren grew up in New Hope, PA. She enjoys many wonderful roles: stay-at-home mom, wife, artist, friend, and neighbor. She loves being outdoors, taking her children on long walks throughout the beautiful city of Easton. She cherishes simplicity, rest, and small comforts like drinking tea. In her spare time, she plays the penny whistle, piano, and guitar, and makes fun crafts out of recycled materials. Her favorite artist is Marc Chagall.
Ian
Ian is originally from the woodlands of North Central PA. He dabbles in many art forms, including writing, photography, collage, leather masks, jewelry, and wood sculpture. He currently spends most of his time being a great father and working as an environmental educator at Delaware Canal State Park. In his spare time, he enjoys home-improvement projects as well as spending time relaxing with his family.
Nell
A busy four year old, Nell loves princesses and all things pink. She loves dressing up, "getting married," and spending quality creative time at home with her mom and brother Morgan. One of her favorite activities is creating homemade paper dolls with her mom while her brother is napping.
Morgan
Closing in on his first year, Morgan loves to crawl and explore, cruise the furniture, and chew on anything that isn't nailed down. Three teeth and counting. He laughs often and loves to cuddle.
