Scissors Paper Tree from Roger la Borde
“Detailed and eye-catching, the range was extended over the summer and beautifully captures and translates the work of Su Blackwell onto a card.”
Humour
Gin & Frolics from Rosie Made A Thing
“These are consistently great sellers for us with their really modern, ‘of this time’ humour – the range is always being refreshed too, with new titles being added regularly.”

Irene and Gladys from Cardmix and Hysterical Heritage from Woodmansterne
“It’s always great when customers laugh out loud reading a range and struggle to choose just one.”
Art
Across The Board from Louise Mulgrew
“We absolutely love Louise’s original artwork, which we have stocked right from the beginning. They are quirky and unique and carry much personality. My current favourite is the elephant and elephant calf from the new Africa range.”
