There’s an obvious irony when you set up your own
greeting card design business. Knowing the frustrations
felt by independent shops competing with the national
chains.
The question was:
‘If our business could only survive in the early days with
the support of independent shops. Would it be possible
to exclusively supply independents forever and still
thrive?’
After making that promise from day one we can now tell
you the answer.
Absolutely yes.
Ok, we were told it was naive and risky, but we did it
anyway. Some even suggested we might have an
underlying dislike of the chains. In fact none of that is
true.
The real reason was simple: it just felt right and after 6
years it still does.
Thank you to every single customer for your support
over the last 6 years.
We promise you the best hand-finished art in little
squares, whilst you keep flying the independent flag.

The Renaissance Deluxe range is our
largest size card range.
It’s the cousin of our Renaissance.
During one of our annual long distance
cycling trips we went to the Palace of
Versailles in Paris. It was a huge inspiration
with garlands of gold, high ceilings and
gilded ballrooms. A true step back in time.
Our key ranges are illustrative and printed so
by comparison these foiled creations are
very luxurious & something a bit different.
A collection inspired by relaxed modern
elegance. Printed and embellished by hand
in the UK with crystals & pearls.

Renaissance is the cousin of the ‘Deluxe’ collection full
of relaxed modern, elegance. Beautiful illustrations
made up of watercolours, hand-drawn icons and
botanical elements, embellished with irridescent gems
and ivory pearls.
The result is simply beautiful. A joy to send and receive
alike. It was because these were so popular that we
finally went bigger in 2022 with the deluxe range.
Each card is printed in the UK.

Paintbox is our signature range and sits at the centre of
everything we do. I hand paint each illustration before
digitising and adding additional elements. Every year I have to
reject so many because I’m just bursting with ideas. The ones
that remain are my favourites. Aside from our extensive
Everyday range we also produce large Christmas and Spring
collections in this style.
Each card is printed and hand-finished with sparkling coloured
gems in the UK.

Le Petit Collage by Amy Altimas
Amy has been one of my favourite
designers for a long time. Her intricate
and whimsical drawing style is good
enough to eat. Amy's work is sought
after the world over. So I was over the
moon when she agreed to produce a
limited edition range for us.
Le Petit Collage was inspired by our
french life and Amy's collage and
painted elements. The result is a
magical otherworldly creation handfinished
with little pearls. We know that
you love Le Petit Collage because
there have been so many requests for
more designs.

The Little Star range is one of my favourites and yet the most
challenging which is probably why they’re so popular with you.
Every single card has a foil star that occupies an identical position
on every one. I love the way many people have failed to notice this
until I point it out. It makes me smile to think I made the stars look
like a natural part of every design. My challenge is always to draw
illustrations that work around every single star. It appears on
footballs, cups and drink stirrers but always fits as part of the range.
Our seasonal ranges follow the same principle but with a different
shape and coloured foil.
Each card is hand-finished with a single crystal.
Size 130 x 130mm.
