A new illustration every month
When you subscribe, you will receive a card with the new illustration of the month every month, as well as an enveloppe and the illustration as a phone wallpaper.
Make someone's day!
Is your mailbox full of bills and advertisements too? Take the challenge and make someone’s day by surprising them with a card! The encouraging words written can be appreciated for years. Writing letters can even make you happier. You can send them to a friend, a co-worker, Aunt Bertie, or whoever the illustration reminds you of!
How it works
Subscription
You can subscribe at any time and you will receive a card from the following month. For example, you have to subscribe before January 1st to get the card with the illustration of January. After two months of subscription, you can cancel it at any time on your account page.
Payment
When ordering, you will be asked to make the first month’s payment directly (credit cards only). Subsequent payments will be automatic, every month on that date. You can update the payment information on your account at any time after you have ordered the subscription.
Package
The package with the card and envelope will be sent between the first and third week of the month.

Illustrator: elvy / Anne Baecher
The cards are printed in Switzerland at printcesse.ch on 330g/m2 paper, the classic thickness of a postcard. Glossy on the outside, writable on the inside. Folded format: A5 (148,5 x 210 mm), opened: A5 (297 x 210 mm).
The printing of the cards is environmentally friendly. You can recycle (or reuse) all the packaging, which is also recyclable! To avoid plastic, I assume the risk of not fully protecting the package from the weather. If your order is damaged, please write to me and I will send you a new package immediately.

Why «Illuminate»?
The purpose of this project is to spread light, both through the illustrations and through the words that people receive each month thanks to the subscribers. I am convinced that a card can make a difference in someone’s life.
Faith & illustration
I believe that God speaks to us and that he can do so through creativity… I like to try to find what images are on his heart and share them. It is through this process that I create the illustrations on the cards. However, anyone of any religion or belief can of course participate in this project!
The name is inspired by the following Bible verses in Matthew 5:15-16:
“… Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Share your story with me!
Have you been touched by a card? Or someone you sent it to? I would love to hear your story. You can write to me below:
These cards are sublime, a discovery each month to share or to keep for yourself, a very nice gift idea for everyone.
I received this gift at the beginning of the year and I enjoy each month the discovery of a new illustration. Thank you for this April card which means a lot to me. The view of this house and the squirrel completing this setting is beautiful. This is Easter, a special time that gives hope, rest, and a safe haven. This home inspires me to enter it, I would like to jump on this branch and invite this companion to share this bright place. I see this cabin as the Kingdom that opens onto infinite promises addressed to those who recognize our Jesus, celebrated today, as Lord and Savior. Thank you for this!
The illustrations are simply beautiful. Perfect for cards full of emotion but most of all full of tenderness and sweetness. The quality of the product is perfect and I have received nothing but excellent feedback on the beauty of my cards now that I use only elvy's... A coincidence? I don't think so... I 300% recommend it!
I think it's a great idea, I love supporting a local artist while receiving as well. It's a win-win situation and I'm always happy to open my package every month.
FAQ
Just order the subscription as usual and enter the name and address of the person concerned in the “Ship to a different address?” part of the billing details. The person will then receive the content of the subscription every month that you will pay for.
If you want to offer a subscription to several people, you will have to place several orders in order to be able to enter the right delivery address each time.
After two months of subscription, you can choose at any time to cancel it on your account page in the “subscription” tab.
During the validation of the order, you will be invited to create an account. This will allow you to update your payment information, cancel a subscription or access your download files. To log in, you need to enter your username and password on the my account page.
Unfortunately, I am not able to offer a single payment for 6 months, because of the shipping calculations that are not done properly. If it’s the lack of simplicity that bothers you, you should know that once the subscription order is placed, the following payments will be made automatically. So you won’t have to log in every month to pay.
