Pom Pom Rudolph Personalised Christmas Stocking

Dare we mention Christmas? It’s just 35 days away. yikes! This year we’ve been creating new stocking designs, there’s one for all the family. For little one’s first Christmas, for those waiting for Santa, and for those who just love to decorate and add all the festive traditional goodies. And not to be forgotten we’ve even got stockings for your furry friends! All our designs can be personalised so Santa knows who owns which stocking. Names can be printed onto the stocking or we can add cute little wooden bauble name tags. There are pom poms and bells too and some are trimmed…

16th December 2016

It’s been a crazy old year with our studio move, lots of new designs and the launch of our online shop, ‘The Paperie Store’. Glad it’s now time to wind down, spend time with our families, indulge in some mulled wine, eat a little too much, relax and generally laze about doing nothing. Maybe practice a little hygge, snuggle down and watch some good old classic movies! There’s still some jobs to do before Christmas day, truffles and fudge to be made, the Christmas cake and a gingerbread house to be decorated, presents to be wrapped… Whatever you’re doing this Christmas,…

My Secret Pleasure…

18th November 2016

The post has just landed, an uninspiring heap that you’re rifling through, a hand full of the usual bills, bank statements and take away flyers, when you catch a glimpse of a thick luxurious envelope. ‘Is it my birthday?’ pops into your head, then vanishes as the reality of just another Wednesday dawns. So what is inside this rather lovely surprise, a beautiful hand enticing mystery, who’s written to me? In an era of emails, texts, Facebook, Twitter and numerous other social media messaging services, a personally hand written letter has become a rare treat in our digital world. Could it…

Party Pooches…

14th November 2016

So you may think we have got a more than a little carried away but once we’d designed the ‘Wedding Woofer’ cards we just had to turn them into a Christmas card too. Can I just add at this point that we did design and launch our cards on NOTHS before the John Lewis advert went live… perhaps we are all just a little sentimental and crazy about our cute canines, especially around Christmas. Have your fav pooch with a little Christmas greetings message. Or why not ask us to personlise your card from your BFF! Surprise your other half and friends…

Delicious delights…

22nd December 2015

So its our last day in the studio before the Christmas hols and chat turned to cake, well what else! We’ve been putting a creative spin on our Christmas cakes and some of us shared our photos this morning so we thought a quick festive posting would be perfect for the last day. Claire went all ‘Festive Luxe’ with stunning gold holly and berries. Too good to eat Claire! Ruth did a wonderful ‘Vintage Retro’ scene with cute Santa and Rudolph doing the splits. Too good to cut Ruthie! Sally-Ann did a ‘Winter Wonderland’ with a frosty tree and sparkly birdcage! Too…
