Designed by Christopher Box, printed and assembled with love in Eureka Springs Arkansas (these are not mass produced greeting cards)
Kiss My Aura takes the familiar sweetness of a conversation heart and flips it into a modern boundary - lighthearted, energetic, and unmistakably self-aware. The pastel candy-inspired design keeps things playful, while the message delivers a gentle but firm reminder: access is earned, not assumed.
This card is for anyone who’s learned the art of protecting their peace without losing their sense of humor. Equal parts spiritual wink and emotional shield, Kiss My Aura is perfect for friends who’ve done the work, lovers who get it, or anyone who knows that not everyone deserves front-row seats to their energy.
Inspired by the iconic Conversation Hearts® candies, first introduced in 1902, this series draws from a Valentine’s Day tradition that has spanned generations. Known for their pastel colors and stamped messages like Be Mine, Kiss Me, and Call Me, conversation heart candies became a cultural shorthand for affection, small, sweet, and to the point.
The Candid Candy Hearts series began in 2018, created on short notice for a Valentine’s Day décor installation at Neiman Marcus flagship store in Dallas. When an artist unexpectedly backed out, I was invited to step in, and these updated, tongue-in-cheek hearts were born almost overnight. What started as a quick creative solution became one of the most talked-about elements of the installation, resonating instantly with shoppers.
Since then, Candid Candy Hearts have grown into a staple of my art catalog. Each piece keeps the familiar candy-heart format intact while updating the language for modern life, trading sugary clichés for honesty, humor, and emotional truth. They’re designed to feel both nostalgic and unmistakably current, like a Valentine that grew up and learned how to tell the truth.
