FAQ
What is a personalised hand-painted birthday card?
A personalised birthday card is illustrated especially for one child, usually including their name and age. Each design begins as a hand-painted watercolour illustration, making the finished card feel more like a small piece of artwork than a standard greeting card.
Can the card include my child’s favourite animals or interests?
Yes. The illustration can often include favourite animals, colours, toys or themes such as dinosaurs, tractors, woodland animals or seaside scenes. This helps make the card truly personal for the child.
Can family pets be included in the illustration?
Yes. If the child has a much-loved pet, it can be included in the artwork. A cat, dog or other companion can be painted as part of the design, even a pony!
Can the card be framed?
Yes. Many people choose to frame the card as a small piece of nursery artwork after it has been given. Optional frames are available, or the card can easily be framed at home.
What occasions are these cards suitable for?
Alphabet letter cards are often chosen for:
• new baby gifts
• christening presents
• first birthdays
• nursery decorations
• keepsakes from grandparents
Can you write a message inside the card?
The inside of the card can be left blank for your own message, or a handwritten message can be added if the card is being sent directly to the child.
Do families keep these birthday cards as a yearly tradition?
Many parents and grandparents enjoy giving a special card each year that becomes part of the child’s memories as they grow. Because these cards are hand painted and personalised, they are often kept as little keepsakes rather than thrown away. Some families choose to save them in a memory box, while others frame a favourite card from a particular birthday.
Can I order a personalised birthday card for my child each year?
Yes. Many families enjoy making a small tradition of sending a personalised birthday card each year as the child grows. Because each illustration is painted individually, the design can change from year to year — perhaps showing a different animal, theme or birthday age. Over time, the cards become a lovely collection of memories marking each birthday.
