UPPERMILL, PEAK DISTRICT

We are celebrating 15 years as a small and sustainable greetings card company!

I began designing recycled and plastic-free greetings cards in my studio in Uppermill in 2010; experimenting with new ideas, using all of the materials to create my own style, die-cutting and gold foiling on a vintage foiling press, and creating these lovely little art works, full of warmth and joy!

I'm proud that my designs are still drawn and painted by hand, printed onto really nice 350gsm card by our local printmakers, and sent out to you without any plastic packaging!

The story behind the business
Meet Laura Skilbeck

I began designing greetings cards in 2010, from my studio in Uppermill, Greater Manchester. With a love of hand-drawn and painted illustration, print-making and collage. And a love of making things out of cardboard (think homemade vending machines, children's play houses, intricate painted cat towers etc). I really like how greetings cards are these little affordable art works that go out into the world, connecting people and spreading cheer.

Sustainability and the environment have always been at the core of this little business; our cards have always been made in the UK, have always been printed on recycled card, and have always been packaged in biodegradable sleeves.

This year we began planting a tree for every order placed.
