You've Got Pen On Your Face is an independent greeting card and stationery brand founded by illustrator Frankie in 2016. Known for playful illustrations, nostalgic references and a slightly offbeat sense of humour, our colourful collection includes greeting cards, mini cards, wrapping paper and stickers.
Everything is designed in our Pembrokeshire studio, with our paper products printed in the UK using responsibly sourced materials.
Proudly independent

The story behind the business
Meet You've Got Pen On Your Face
You've Got Pen On Your Face started rather accidentally in a Moscow apartment in 2016.
I was living there at the time and drawing simply because I loved it. I had no grand plan to start a greeting card business, until a friend looked at my illustrations and said, "You should put these on cards and sell them."
So I did.
I started with a handful of designs and found a few independent shops in Moscow willing to give them a go. Seeing something I'd drawn at home sitting on a shop shelf was enough to make me think there might actually be something in this.
When I moved back to the UK, the cards came with me. I kept drawing, slowly worked out how to run a product business and built You've Got Pen On Your Face around my own sense of humour and the things I genuinely find funny, interesting or worth putting on paper.
Ten years later, I run the business from Pembrokeshire while raising two young children. It's grown quite a lot since those first few cards, although the way I work is probably no less chaotic. Designing and running a business gets fitted around family life, usually with several things happening at once.
My cards are now sold by independent shops around the world and have been stocked by Liberty, Selfridges, Anthropologie and John Lewis - which is quite a long way from the handful I started with in Moscow.
