A card isn’t just a card. It’s a unique gift that inspires, uplifts, and encourages.

What’s better than an inspiring card that’s been specially designed from start to finish?

Captured Expressions Designs does just that and so much more! Join us as we explore the “Behind the Scenes” work with Emily.

Our Story

Introduction

Hi there! I'm Emily, photographer & designer of all our inspirational products here at Captured Expressions Designs. My husband, Brandon, is my biggest cheerleader. Without his encouragement, support, and advice, we certainly wouldn't be where we are today. He is mostly involved behind the scenes but still plays a very vital part - taking care of the more technical parts of business, and helping me find ways to bring my dreams to reality.

The Team

“l am so blessed to have Rebecca, a reliable young girl on my team, who has been with me for several years, and is currently managing our little warehouse, taking care of all the order processing, shipping, and billing, receiving new shipments and restocking, overseeing packaging assemblies, occasionally helping with photoshoots, and tradeshows.

There's no way I could be doing this without her help, it has taken a huge load off of me, so that I can put more time into designing new products, keeping in touch with our 300 + wholesale accounts across the US and Canada, and attending 9-10 tradeshows every year which means a considerable amount of traveling between here and the Midwest.

Seven Day Cards

A fun way to brighten someone's week with a card each day, or maybe once a week, keeping them guessing who the sender could be until the last card when it's time to reveal your name. The sequence in which to send is indicated on the back of each card for your convenience.

Encourage the elderly, whose days may get long and lonely, giving them something to look forward to each day.

Or maybe you know a child who has a lengthy hospital stay or injury, these will make fun day brighteners.

Note Cards

These little Inspirational Notecards, with beautiful photos, and Bible verses or encouraging messages are an excellent way to bring a meaningful addition to gifts, flowers, a meal, or to send along with a card.

I like to carry some in my purse so I always have some with me, and enjoy letting them with the tip for the waitress at a restaurant, the room service maid at the hotel, mail carrier, hostess, cheering up the elderly, encouraging the busy mother or a friend who is struggling, comforting a friend who is mourning the loss of a loved one, or use as inspiration for yourself by placing on a windowsill or mirror where you can see it often. There are so many ways to use them your imagination is truly the limit.

Autograph Book

These adorable little autograph books are sure to delight little girls, and would make great Christmas gifts! A unique square format, with a lovely soft touch matte hard cover and pure white pages, and features a twin loop binding to easily lay flat. 3 beautiful cover designs to choose from.

2025 Wall Calender

WAIT, ON THE LORD - 12 month wall calendar It is my heart's desire and prayer that your soul will be refreshed and encouraged with the beautiful, uplifting artwork and verses, on your daily journey of patiently WAITING, ON THE LORD. 

Maybe the wait is more about experiencing God & His character, than simply enduring the delay. Will you allow your experiences to define you, or refine you?

“Never did I imagine that this little hobby that began in 2019 would turn into something so amazing. It thrills my heart to know.We are a part of making a difference in so many people's lives, it is also a bit overwhelming to think how many people were encouraged, or had their day brightened by a friend.

To God be all honor & glory, where it belongs. Believing that all talents are a gift from God I want to do my best to fulfill that and bring glory back to Him.” - Emily
