By assembling and decorating our cards ourselves, we determined we could achieve both a handmade and quality feel. Our products are for people who share our view that the most meaningful messages are delivered up close and personal tinyurl.com/7scet2kw #SmallBusiness #gifts

The Seeds of Life is a concept common to many ancient cultures. Today, seeds continue to represent the cycle of life, connecting us to the natural world. They are also symbols of peace, friendship and sustainability. #gifts #seeds #cards

Paper butterflies add a delicate and relevant touch to my cards by creating a crafted, handmade feel. By layering and curling the edges of a simple paper punch shape, I was able to create a 3D effect turning a simple embellishment into something far more artistic. #gifts #cards

The only way to pay close enough attention to quality control (certainly for our taste) is to assemble by hand. Some advanced preparation is necessary but the final detailing and packaging is completed to order - for all our designs! #gifts #smallbusiness tinyurl.com/34w8r3s5

The inspiration for all our products starts with the seeds. The simplicity of delivering a message that is represented in natural growth is powerful and versatile. I put a lot of thought into the design of this. seedsdreams.co.uk

There are many occasions for sending a card: some happy, some sad and some for no reason at all. But its always the extra touch that really makes the connection whether you're giving or receiving. We spend ages trying to make our #cards personal - what do you do? #gestures #gifts

Anyone ever endorse a letter to a sweetheart with SWALK on the back? Maybe a hack from yesteryear but it's easy to forget the back of an envelope is prime real-estate for personal touches. Before you post, why not add a few extra words. What would you say? #gifts #cards #gestures

When you want to show you care but you just don’t have the right words, there are other ways to share your feelings. The crazy thing is, the easiest of #gestures seem hardest to think of. You can't buy love but it doesn’t stop us trying! Give these a go instead... #gifts #cards

Personalisation is a simple but effective way to increase the emotional impact of receiving a gift, and at the same time make the gesture of giving more fulfilling. We are constantly on the look out for new ideas to make #gifts more personal. Any thoughts? #cards #gestures

Designing products that have the potential to be versatile and personal across different uses takes planning. From new babies, to new homes, and even to new businesses! Fortunately, the symbolism of #seeds provides endless opportunities. #celebration #gifts

It's too easy these days to celebrate, commiserate or motivate without actually sharing any emotional connection at all. How far would you go to express your feelings when lifestyle events call? #celebrate #gifts #family

When considering the design of our products, we wanted something that would be both versatile and deeply personal. Losing a pet is highly emotional and it was important to provide the freedom to really express emotion. #petLoss #gestures
