I’ll be honest, the last couple of weeks were a whirlwind of personal stuff and things taking so much longer than I realised. My perfectionist brain wanted to wait until everything was “flawless” to show it off 🌟

But then I remembered why I started this, to help you celebrate real, messy, beautiful life moments through my cards. So here we are a little later than planned but they are here! 🎀

So the new cards are officially on the website, there are over 100 new cards for lots of occasions. I really hope you like them all 🫶🏼

Building a business is 10% greeting cards and 90% convincing my dog that I’m actually working 🐾

From stock drops at our favourite local shops to rainy post-office runs, Seb is the real mastermind behind this Sunday’s big launch 💌🐶

I’ve spent months perfecting this new collection and honestly? Having a co-worker who works for treats and snuggles makes the late nights much better.
I’m officially 7 followers away from hitting 1,000! If you love small business behind the scenes (and very cute office assistant) I’d love for you to join us. 🏠✨

Which pic is your favourite? 1–7? (Photo 5 is his ‘I’m quitting’ face 😂)

Introducing my latest collection, the premium, colourful stationery that’s been months in the making. A sophisticated range of cards that capture fun and thoughtful messages with pops of colour and high-end boutique designs, ensuring every milestone is met with style 🌈

The majority of cards on the market feel mass-produced, lacking that personal touch and the premium quality that makes a greeting feel like a true gift 🌟

That’s where I come in. These are the best cards I have ever designed and made and I’m really proud of them. They aren’t just paper; they are premium keepsakes designed to be displayed on a mantelpiece. Crafted independently in small batches, they are individually hand finished with a luxurious feel that you simply won’t find on the high street 💕

I want to transform the way you buy cards by helping you build up a ’stash’ of beautiful designs, where you stay organised and ready for every occasion, avoiding the stress of the last minute shop run 🎀

The impact of a Clairabow card goes beyond just a greeting; it’s a feeling to celebrate connection, joyful living and put a smile on someone’s face ☺️

So, the next question on your lips is most likely, “How can I get mine?”
The waitlist is now open and if you sign up you will get 20% off the new collection. The link is in my bio 💌

These are the only clues I’m allowed to give you 💌

I’ve spent the last few months tucked away working on a new collection of greeting cards that feels a bit more luxe and grown up than anything I’ve done before 🌟

These clips are just teasers of what’s to come showing you textures, colour, and designs that have been filling my desk.

The full collection arrives on Sunday 1st March. The waitlist is being released this week 👀🫶🏼

I’ve had my head down all week but if you asked me what I’ve achieved, I’d probably struggle to tell you 😩

Being a small business owner means wearing every single hat. Some I love (like getting your orders ready and designing new colourful stationery) and some I really, really struggle with (tax returns and website tech) 🖥️💌

It’s been one of those weeks where the list is long, the hours have been more than I’d like, but the progress feels invisible.

If you’re in the middle of a head down week where you feel like you’re stuck in place, you aren’t alone. Taking a deep breath and reminding myself that the boring admin is what allows the dream work to happen.
Ready to reset for the weekend, is that too soon? ✨🦄

From sketch to sparkly card 💌

Swipe through to see a little peek behind the scenes, from me illustrating in my cosy office, to a time-lapse of a cute robin coming to life, to the finished personalised Christmas card.

Every single design in my shop is drawn by hand by me, no shortcuts, no stock art, just lots of love, imagination, and cups of tea ☕️
I want every piece of colourful stationery to feel extra special, personal and full of warmth. Something that makes you smile the moment it lands in your hands ✨

The last picture shows a whole flurry of festive Christmas illustrations! Which is your fave? 🎄

Stop the festive chaos! We have a fun way to help manage the kids in December.

A fun idea for your mischievous Elf on the Shelf on the 1st December to show up with the OFFICIAL Nice List Tracker! He says Father Christmas needs daily, accurate reports! It’s never to late to get on the nice list (or the naughty list)

Up to Christmas Day, all your children’s behaviour gets a little sticker... a fabulous ‘NICE’ one (hooray!) or a slightly cheeky ‘NAUGHTY’ one (eek!).

Tag a friend who needs this parenting hack for their busy life and it’s also a bit of fun. Who doesn’t love a sticker?!

I didn’t create Clairabow because I just because I love colourful stationery…

I created it because I’ve always believed the little things should feel magical.

💌 Cards shouldn’t be a last-minute grab from the supermarket shelf — they should feel like tiny hugs in envelope form.

🎁 Wrapping paper should be beautifully thick (not the kind that reveals the gift before you even open it 👀).

🏷️ And gift tags? They deserve to bring a sprinkle of sparkle all on their own to add extra magical touches.

At the heart of it all, I just wanted to bring more colour, kindness, and joy into people’s everyday moments.

💛 If you’re someone who loves the small but special things too… welcome in. There’s plenty of joy to go around.

If you want your December to feel sparkly and less scattered, you’re not alone.

There’s something beautifully grounding about pausing, jotting, doodling and letting all that festive buzz find its place on paper.

I live my life by a list on paper and they help me so much. Lists aren’t just about order, they’re tiny acts of calm in the middle of Christmas magic ✨

It’s almost Christmas market season and the fairy lights, the festive tunes, that buzz is just around the corner.

Normally, you’d find me at Christmas markets or in Pop-Up Shops behind a table of colourful stationery, probably with my big coat and wooly hat on and multiple flasks of tea. But this year, I won’t be at any markets or pop-ups as I wasn’t sure if I would be fully recovered so I’m bringing all the sparkle straight to you - online!

This time of year is when little shops like mine make most of our income, and your support honestly means the world.

If you love what I do and want to help keep the creativity flowing, here are a few easy, magical ways to support:
✨ Buy a personalised card or two (your friends & family will LOVE you for it!)
💬 Like, comment or share my posts as it really helps more people find me
💖 Leave a kind review or tag a friend who’d adore something handmade

Every tiny action helps me grow and keep creating the colourful stationery and positive designs you love.
Thank you so much for sticking around and making it possible for me to keep spreading kindness, colour and positivity one piece of stationery at a time.
