Behind the Cards

Written By Joy

Last Update: June 26, 2026

Behind the Cards is where I share the real-life moments, small surprises, and joyful sparks that inspire Scatter Joyfulness cards, images, and giftable designs.

Some cards begin with a conversation.

Some begin with what I like to think of as field trips, and those can happen almost anywhere, at any time.

Others begin with a phrase, a flower, a friend, a memory, or a surprise that showed up at the front door.

This is the place where those stories gather.

I do love to share stories. Day-to-day life is full of interesting tidbits, small wonders, and unexpected reminders.

My delight is to Scatter Joyfulness.

Joy is the founder, artist, and writer behind Scatter Joyfulness Greetings™, a collection of hand-finished micro art greeting card gifts created in limited editions of twelve.

Through her Studio Journal and greeting card collection, she helps people find words for birthdays, friendships, encouragement, faith-filled moments, and life's many occasions.

Each design begins with a written prompt and is hand-finished one at a time. Her uniquely engineered greeting cards are designed to be sent, displayed, framed, or enjoyed as a keepsake bookmark long after the occasion has passed.

Her work combines artistically directed and carefully prompted artwork, thoughtful card writing ideas, and small acts of kindness intended to help people feel seen, valued, loved, and remembered.

She creates alongside Bunny, her long-haired dachshund and Chief Cuddle Officer, believing that a greeting card can still surprise someone, start a conversation, and put a twinkle in their eyes.
