PRODUCT INFORMATION
Information about the products I sell
POSTCARDS
All of my postcards, with the exception of a couple Christmas cards, are printed on really heavyweight 310-gsm bright white cotton rag paper. This is a really expensive fine art printing paper with a lovely texture and most importantly amazing colour reproduction. Earlier in my product selling career I outsourced my postcards but these didn’t have the quality (weight, texture, colour reproduction) I demanded so I make everything myself.
In the case of die-cut (shaped cut out) cards, these are cut out by myself using a die-cut cutting machine.
Notes about sizes. All of my rectangle cards are A6 in size. Please note there will be slight size discrepancies between postcard series as everything is designed individually. For example Belgium map postcards will dimensionally be slightly different to Edinburgh.
Everything is completely hand made, there’s no factory process anywhere, so please don’t expect everything to be 100% the same size. There may be 1-3mm difference in sizes.
PRINTS
There are two ways I provide prints. Prints bought for delivery in the UK are printed by myself using 260gsm lustre (semi-gloss) photo paper. This is a beautiful weighty paper to use with fantastic colour reproduction.
For prints bought outside of the UK, I have print partners in most regions around the world. They offer a similar paper with also great colour reproduction, but using a print paper ultimately saves a lot of money for you, the consumer. If I send prints from the UK, postage will be expensive, but by using print papers I’m able to offer free shipping on most prints.
JIGSAW PUZZLES
These are printed and produced by myself. My jigsaw puzzles are printed on thick card and come with a satin finish. I print these myself using a sublimation printer and then they are heat pressed to product the final product. All jigsaw puzzles are then bagged up and posted in a metal tin. As of 2021 I’m able to print jigsaw puzzles up to 300-pieces (30×42.5cm) in size although from 2022, if demand requires, I hope to print 500-1000 piece jigsaw puzzles.
STICKER SHEETS
I produce two different kinds of sticker sheets, one is a regular sticker sheet and the other planner sticker sheets. The regular stick sheets are printed on a glossy sticker paper and I cut these myself. The planner stickers are printed on a heavyweight matte paper which is perfect for writing on. All sticker sheets are 6×9″ in size.
Do you love stickers as much as I do? 💖✨
There’s something so comforting about collecting them—they’re tiny pieces of joy that instantly brighten my day.
I’m so excited to share my kawaii sticker sheet inspired by my favourite British foods and desserts 🇬🇧🍰
From cosy classics to sweet treats, each little illustration is made to bring a smile (and maybe a craving too!).

We almost couldn’t take payments at our FIRST international Comic Con… 😅🇫🇷
48 hours before Comic Con France, we found out our card machine wouldn’t work outside the UK.
Day 1?
Our backup app crashed.
For a moment, we genuinely thought:
“Are we going to survive this event?” 😬
But somehow — we made it work.
Thank you to every single person who patiently paid in GBP instead of Euros, who waited, who smiled, who encouraged us… you have no idea how much that meant. ❤️
Because behind the cute prints and products, this was a huge step for us.
New country.
New audience.
A lot of unknowns.
And yet — the kindness we received from everyone in France made this one of the most unforgettable experiences we’ve ever had. 🇫🇷✨
This wasn’t just a Comic Con.
It was our training ground for Japan Expo Paris this July… and now we’re coming back stronger.
See you again very soon.
我們差點在第一次海外 Comic Con 完全無法收款… 😅🇫🇷
出發前 48 小時才發現刷卡機不能在英國以外使用。
到了第一天,備用的付款 App 也直接當機。
那一刻真的在想:我們撐得過這場活動嗎?😬
但最後我們還是撐下來了。
謝謝每一位願意用英鎊付款、願意等待、給我們鼓勵的客人,你們的溫柔真的讓人很感動 ❤️
對我們來說,這不只是一場展會,
而是踏上國際的第一步。
新的國家、全新的客人、很多未知,
但法國大家的熱情,讓這一切變得非常值得 🇫🇷✨
這也是為了 7 月 Japan Expo Paris 做準備,
我們會帶著更好的自己回來!
很快再見

Map No. 55 — Kyoto Map 🍵🌸
My 55th map illustration is finally here, and it feels extra special. Kyoto has always lived in my mind as a place filled with soft sakura blossoms and a deep, calming tea culture… so I wanted this piece to capture both.
You’ll find gentle shades of matcha green paired with dreamy sakura pink — a little love letter to spring in Japan.
And this time, there’s a twist 🐾
Instead of people, I’ve filled the map with little kitty characters from my new brand Moggy Mansions (@moggymansions). I’m slowly building a kawaii world where these cats can explore beautiful places together… starting with Kyoto.
I hope this map brings you a moment of calm and a touch of spring wherever you are 💕

We had the most wonderful weekend at the Ikigai Sakura Celebration @ikigai.uk @ikigaieventsuk 🌸✨
We absolutely love this event, and we’re so incredibly grateful to everyone who came to visit us and support our little corner. It truly means the world to us 💛
Our very first customer of the weekend made it even more special — he was the organiser’s grandpa, such a sweet gentleman, and (wonderfully!) he’s Finnish 🇫🇮 He chose one of our A4 Finland map prints, which felt like such a meaningful and perfect start to the event 🥹
The venue itself was so beautiful — truly the perfect setting for such a special celebration.
You could really feel how much thought and care had gone into every detail, and it made the whole experience even more magical. Everyone could see how much effort the organisers poured into this event.
A special thank you to the amazing organisers — your hospitality did not go unnoticed. From having water ready on the tables to the lovely helpers checking in on us throughout the day, those thoughtful little gestures made the whole experience feel so warm and special.
We also had some lovely chats with customers about how they discovered the event, and it was so inspiring to hear how much effort went into promoting it — even sending brochures directly to people’s homes!
That level of care and dedication really shows, and it’s what makes this event so memorable.
And of course, thank you to all the friendly vendor neighbours — it was such a joy sharing the weekend with you all. The atmosphere was just incredible ✨
We had such an amazing time and would absolutely love to come back again if the organisers will have us 💕
Now it’s back to the studio for us — we’ll be busy creating more delicious, kawaii, and functional goodies for you all! 🍡🐾
Thank you again for such a special weekend 🌸

Yesterday felt truly magical ✨ I’m so grateful the weather held up and that the market was buzzing as always. We had the loveliest neighbours keeping me smiling all day—it honestly made such a difference 💛
But the highlight was meeting so many of you in person 🥹 Thank you for stopping by, for your kind words, and for supporting my little stationery world. It means more than I can ever say. I really hope these tiny, cute goodies bring a bit of joy into your everyday life 💌
Your support and encouragement are a huge part of why I keep creating ❤️
I’ll be honest—things have been a bit challenging for me work-wise lately. But this year, I’m taking my power back. I want to create more cute, fun, and meaningful designs—for you, and for myself and my family 🌱✨
Stay tuned… there’s so much more to come 💕
