It’s with happy hearts that Frame & Follie announces that after three beautiful years, we’ve decided to close up our boutique design shop. We’re grateful for all that we’ve learned, both from working with each other and with our wonderful clients. A big thank you goes out to all of our clients, colleagues and friends! We truly appreciate all of your support! Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding any past or future design work. We’ll still be only an email or a phone call away!

Another big thank goes out to each other. Working so closely together has been an incredible experience, allowing us to grow and discover our own individual passions. Although we’re saying farewell to the business, we’re not saying goodbye to design (or to each other!). It’s with great memories that we’re ready start on our own paths and say hello to new adventures!

Cheers!
Leah & Jasmine

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! While many of us would rather spend time with our sweeties than receive boxes of heart-shaped sweets, some of us just can’t resist celebrating our Valentines with the perfect gift! If you’re looking for something thougthful and sweet (minus the sugar), why not give that special someone a custom couples portrait? They make warmhearted, one-of-a-kind gifts to give to boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses…or even best friends!

This portrait was commissioned by one of our very lovely and very supportive Instagram followers, and to say that we had fun working on it would be an understatement!! Elaine was a dream client and we truly loved illustrating this portrait to give to her boyfriend, Manny, as an anniversary present! Wishing these Miami cool cats all the best!! ♥ Check out some of our couples & family portraits below, and order your very own portrait via ETSY!

Custom portraits are so much fun for us because we get the chance to really get to know our clients (with their families and friends, pets, boyfriends and girlfriends, etc…) through the photos they send us before telling the story of who they are through various types of illustration!

While each portrait holds a place in our Frame & Follie hearts, this one is special in that it was our very first custom illustration sold via Etsy…to a complete stranger! It took a few tries to get the look just right, but it pushed us toward another style of drawing which we’re excited to offer clients in the future!

A special thanks goes out to the Vila family as we wish them a very Happy New Year!

Seeing our work in print and being used by our clients really put a smile on our faces,
especially when there’s a merry little elf is in the background…like this cutie!

As we delve further and further into the world of custom portraits and stationery, we’re happy to showcase a new style option for our illustrations! Digitally drawn, this style has a warm and hand-painted feel…perfect for family (and wedding!) portraits! Interested in your very own illustration? Email us at [email protected] for more information!

Two of the nicest (and funniest!) people we know eloped last week in beautiful Tofino, BC!
We’re so incredibly happy for them and wish Carly & The Road to Eldorado all the best in the world!!
