Hey everybody!!! I'm Stacy, owner and creator of StaRay INK ✨

Here is a long overdue 'Meet the Maker' to fill you in on a little about me and what I love to do!

I am a mother, wife, and a pen loving, lettering enthusiast! I’ve been making hand drawn cards for as long as I can remember (maybe 2nd grade?!). In 2019 I took the leap, bought an iPad, started drawing digitally, and began selling my cards to family and friends. Since then, my kitchen table always seems to be filled with my latest order or upcoming project. I hope these cards can bring a smile, or maybe even a little chuckle, when you see them or send them to a friend….that’s always my favorite part!

5 fun facts about me:
-I will choose fruity candy over chocolate 9 times out of 10. 🍓
-Sonic happy hour is my love language. 🥤
-I met my husband on tinder and my about me was, 'if you don't like pizza and beer, nexxxt!' 🍕🍺
-I am a licensed Mammography Technologist, if you're 35+ go get a screening! 🩷
-I have adventured in 30 states, before I met my husband I had only been to 6. 🗺️ by @starayink

Let's talk about the name ✨StaRay INK✨

How do you pronounce it? What does it mean? Why???

Simply put, my name is Stacy Renee, so StaRay. I just shortened them both, there's a long 'a' sound in Sta and Ray and once I said it, it stuck. I liked the way it sounded. It's unique, and honestly just kinda fun! Sure it's a little different, but everything else I was coming up with just seemed.. meh. So as a creative, why not have something a little funky?
The Ink on the end just made sense in the beginning. When I started all this, I was drawing every single card with a pen 😳. Luckily the iPad has really cleaned things up lol!

So here we are, StaRay INK 🩷

My cutie little niece turned 1 💗😍 Such a fun banner to paint for her!

What’s even better? A funny story to go along with it. 😆 While sitting at her party my Dad says to me,
“now where did she find a banner like that?”
LOL umm… “I painted that hahaha” - me
“You painted that???? Since when do you do that?” 😆

My Dad obviously needs Instagram/Facebook 😂😜 by @starayink
