“A glimpse of Pride celebrations around the world — creativity and love in every colour.”
Just to clarify: I make personalised and handmade greeting cards. Business cards and commercial printing aren’t part of my services.
“Memories from my 2011 trip to Istanbul, Turkey.”
About us
Welcome to Artful Cards — handmade cards created with care, color, and a personal touch.
I’m Anthony, the maker behind every card you see here. I’ve always loved creating things by hand, and Artful Cards grew from that simple joy — turning paper, texture, and small details into something meaningful you can send to someone you care about.
Each card is crafted individually in my small home studio, using real materials and thoughtful designs. No two pieces are ever completely identical, and that’s part of the charm. I keep my style warm, textured, and honest — the kind of cards that feel personal the moment you hold them.
Thank you for supporting handmade work. It means a lot, and I hope my creations bring a little brightness to your day and to the people you share them with.
📚 My Reading Journey
I read the usual books in school as a kid, but I didn’t become a proper reader until much later. At 38, thrillers pulled me in, and then I started mixing in true stories. Since then I’ve read around 72 books, and reading has become one of the things that inspires me creatively today.
“I didn’t become a proper reader until 38, but Edith Eger’s book became one of the stories that truly moved me. Her words about hope feel important to share here.”
Beautiful Double‑Room Apartment for Two
“After losing my mum to Motor Neurone Disease, I found comfort in creating small handmade things filled with care. This little shop grew from that healing. If MND has touched your life too, I hope my story reminds you that creativity, kindness, and connection can carry us through difficult times.
