FREE with 10 or more cards.
For an order of 10 or more cards, a presentation box will be inicluded free with the order. Keep those cards safe for when the time arises that they are needed.
They're not just any ol' card.
For a greeting card with a difference, the lovely matte linen effect gives the appearence of being on canvas with rich colours. The texture gives a certain depth and interest that a smooth glossy card does not. All the cards started off being hand drawn and watercoloured. Then the process of scanning the originals to produce them digitally comes next, any last final touches to enhance them even more is done (yes, I am a perfectionist), followed by them being printed and packed ready for their new homes.
Every bit of wording can be removed, swapped or written by you to make every card totally personal and unique to that individual, at no extra cost.
I love drawing the different scenes and I hope you will enjoy them and see them as more than just a card, like I do. The characters are Edie and Reggie, the two Mini Schnauzers that have inspired... everything!

Birthdays
Suggested poem for these ones:
B 4
Yes that's very true,
In dog years you'd be dead,
But you're still full of life and energy
As well as grey hairs on your head.
Suggested poem for this one:
B 3
It's your birthday,
So scoff as much as you can take
Because as we all know -
There're no calories in a birthday cake.
Suggested poem for these ones:
B 5
May your day be filled with magic,
Of happiness, of dreams, of cake,
May wishes in the breeze be carried,
On your face a smile they make.

Suggested poem for this one:
A 3
Whole nights you have not slept,
You've been glued to a relentless desk,
You've studied 'til words in a book
Move around each time you look,
But the end is nigh, there is a light -
You can't see it yet but it's in sight,
These hard times you will learn to befriend,
Because it'll be all so worth it in the end.

We may be quirky together,

We're suited like the moon and stars -
Or like chips and battered cod.

Through my flaws,
You see me as I am,

Suggested poem for this one:
N 4
That wonderful time will soon be here,
For panic stations and unnecessary fear,
But at least some things are without any doubt -
If the complete terror doesn't get you,
It'll be the lack of sleep and wine drought.
Enjoy your new arrival!

Christmas
Suggested poem for this one:
C 5
I don't think Santa will visit me
As I have been a little naughty,
I rely on my cuteness day by day -
But more questions have arose,
Like how I steal all your socks
And ate the Snowman's nose!

Birthday

Happy Birthday
B 2
Today it's your birthday,
Time to celebrate,
Time to act like you're a teenager -
And not that age, times by 8.
B 3
It's your birthday
So scoff as much food as you can take
Because as we all know -
There're no calories in a birthday cake.
B 4
Yes that's very true,
In dog years you'd be dead,
But you're still full of life and energy
As well as grey hairs on your head.

May your day be filled with magic,
Of happiness, of dreams, of cake,

And always wear your smile.

Get well
G 1
Get well soon
G 2
I heard you're under the weather,
A little bit blue,
A nice cuppa tea solves most things -
(unless of course it's man flu).
G 3
If my smile could make you better,
Each and every second,
I'd get Botox in my face -
At least twice, I reckon!
G 4
If I could write a magic spell,
Or an ode that would make you better,
I'd easily write enough to fill this world,
But there aren't enough letters.
Miss you
M 1
Miss you.
M 1
Will miss you lots and lots,
You're part of my little squad,
Miss you like a moon without stars -
Or chips without battered cod.
M 2
I miss you like a rose without petals,
Like a night without day,
Like a song without notes,
Like art without Monet.

They said I could be anything...

whatever they are.

Follow your dreams (natural instincts)
wherever they lead you.

Life
L 1
Life is too short to be normal,
Think thoughts that are never severe,
Have happiness as your best friend,
Keep smiling and always stay weird.
Love / Valentine
X 1
I love you.
X 2
There's not enough words on earth
To tell you how much I care,
But my heart says I only need two
And I trust in it totally, so...
Love you.
X 3
Through swamps I have trudged,
A frog or two have I kissed,
Until I finally met you -
My very own Prince.
X 4
You are my little cupcake,
This reminder I had to give,
Without cake nor you,
I simply could not live.
X 5
Give a nightly hug
Just before bed
And as you admire with love
Leave a kiss on their head.
X 6
Through my flaws,
You see me as I am,
Through your eyes,
I see a better man.
Father's Day
D 1
Happy Father's Day.
D 2
I was a little bundle that graced your life,
Adventures we have explored,
You will love me to the end of all days -
And I'd want for nothing more.
D 3
Your DIY resembles a war zone,
Your cooking scares off the dog,
It creates a blanket in the air
Like the '52 London fog.
The garden path resembles a Picasso,
That even a monkey could have laid,
But fear not, just look at me -
I'm something perfect you've made!
D 4
I've watched you fix your car,
I've watched you decorate,
I've watched you DIY -
Dad, I think you're great.
Mother's Day
MO 1
Happy Mother's Day.
MO 2
So your gravy is always lumpy,
Your trifles resemble a lake,
Your mash looks like sick from a cat,
Your cakes - teeth they can break!
Your cookies have the edges
Of a surgeon's scalpel blade -
But fear not, just look at me -
I'm something perfect you've made.
MO 3
I put you through painful labour,
Gas and air just didn't cut it,
But just look what you produced,
Something that's nigh on perfect.
MO 4
I've watched you fix your car,
I've watched you decorate,
I've watched you DIY -
Mom, I think you're great.
MO 5
I was a little bundle that graced your life,
Adventures we have explored,
You must love me to the end of all days -
And I'd want for nothing more.

You'll look at your new little bundle,
You'll share love more precious than yourself,
You'll eternally strive to protect
With precision and relentless stealth.
And as you look at your new little bundle,
With a life time of memories to collect,
You'll know that life is truly for living,
For you'd move Heaven and Earth to protect.

Happy Christmas.

Time to build a snowman
And eat lots of treats,
Time for the Christmas jumpers
and new socks for paws and feet.
C 3
It is almost Christmas
You can smell it in the air;
Men buying last minute gifts,
You can sense panic everywhere!
C 4
Christmas is coming
The geese are getting fat,
More importantly -
Don't I look so cute
In my red Santa hat!
C 5
I don't think Santa will visit me
As I have been a little naughty,
I rely on my cuteness day by day -
but more questions have arose,
Like how I steal all your socks
and ate the Snowman's nose!
(This is ideal for the Snowman's Nose card)
C 6
Christmas is coming
Love is everywhere,
I only want one thing this year -
For us to be a pair.
C 7
I have something better than any gift or wish,
Something Santa can't carry on his sleigh,
For me Christmas isn't just once a year -
Because with you it's every day.
