What makes these hand painted cards different from printed cards?
Hand painted cards are created from original artwork, giving them a traditional, artistic quality. The illustrations are painted slowly in watercolour before being reproduced or finished as cards, so the design keeps the detail and charm of the original painting. Many people choose hand painted cards when they want something more personal than a standard shop-bought card.
Can the hand painted cards be personalised?
All of the handpainted designs can include personal details such as names, dates, pets, houses or favourite places. This turns the card into a small piece of personalised artwork
Are these hand painted cards suitable as keepsakes?

What occasions are hand painted cards suitable for?
Hand painted greeting cards are popular for weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays and other meaningful celebrations where a more personal card feels appropriate.
Do the cards come with envelopes?
Yes. All greeting cards are supplied with an envelope and are blank inside so you can write your own message. If you would like Kate to write a personal message inside she can do that for you.
Can I include special details like pets or houses?
In most cases small details such as pets, favourite places or family elements can be included, depending on the design. These details help make the card even more personal.
Are hand painted greeting cards unique?
Yes. Hand painted greeting cards are individually illustrated rather than mass produced from stock designs. Each card begins as an original watercolour illustration, carefully painted by hand before being printed or finished. This means the artwork has a softness and character that printed-only cards often lack, making them a thoughtful choice for birthdays, new babies, thank you notes and special occasions.

The illustrations are created from original artwork, often painted in watercolour, which gives the finished card a softness and charm that is difficult to achieve with purely digital designs. They are a lovely choice when you want a card that feels special rather than ordinary.
