The Founding Story
It started with a card that didn't have enough room for kindness
Every office birthday, a shop-bought card got passed around — never enough space for everyone to sign, and never anything to do with the person it was for. So when the next birthday came around, I made one myself: a big A4 card for a colleague who loved Chinese culture and followed the lunar calendar. It was the Year of the Rat, so that's what the card celebrated — and for once, every single person had space to write something that mattered.
That one card accidentally became 300, made just for the people I worked with. Then it became a place on the Create and Craft TV design team, where my cards were shown on air. And now it's become this channel.
"A handmade card, made with a particular person in mind, says more than anything you can buy."
