Stacy Claire Boyd began designing invitations over 20 years ago in her small New York apartment by hand-painting each invitation. Over time it became apparent that she would be unable to keep up with the demands, so she decided to begin printing her invitations while still maintaining a hand-made look. Although most known for birth announcements, Stacy Claire Boyd has expanded her line to include holiday and wedding cards, party invitations as well as stationery for both children and adults. She also designs infants and children's apparel which is available at department stores nationwide.
