Mini cards

We have just taken delivery of some mini cards which we have managed to design just in time for The Spring Fair, it is something we have wanted to do for a long time and never got the chance to do it.

There are 24 in the collection with a mixture of designs taken from our existing collection of greeting cards.  Each card is 90 mm x 115 mm.  We may put them in a counter top display after judging customer reaction to them at the show!






The Spring Fair starts on Sunday 2nd February, if you are visiting the show please come and see us in Hall 4 Stand J107.

Enchanted forest.

We have produced a small collection of seven birthday cards featuring woodland animals due to the reaction to  our brand new Christmas 2014 range which we designed at the end of last year.





all are supplied cello wrapped with bespoke woodland themed envelopes...









and sorry if you are fed up with anything Christmas but below are a few pics from our 2014 collection, which we had to design early to fit in with industry buying calendars.




All the above will be on show this weekend at The Spring Fair in Hall 4 on stand 4J107.
Hope to see you there!!

Just over a week to go until The biggest Trade Show of the year ....

We are in the final stages of preparing for the show, our boards on which we mount our cards have been given a new colour and we are in the process of making some colourful scalloped edging to compliment the stand, our brochure is almost finished and we have just received the pre-production samples of our New range Lally Do, we LOVE the bright colours and they will look even better when they are flittered...

New Studio


We are well and truly settled into our new studio space now and we really love it!  We still have to add the finishing touches that we haven't had time to do yet, but it has made such a difference to us.  For the first time in 9 years we have a space to ourselves in which to design, away from the logistical day to day running of Paper Salad, but still in the same unit so we can solve any problems which may arise.







Our Lovely Studio space now compared to how it was just a few months ago ..

Lally Do


Lally Do is the name of our new Childrens' range, which we will be launching officially in less than two weeks time at The Spring Fair.

The strange name came about after visiting my friend in Cornwall, she had just moved into her new house which had already been called Lally Do (Do Lally backwards) by the previous owners, when I came back and told Claire she immediately said it would make a great card range name and so here we are!

Here is a sneak preview, they are currently at the printers so the finishes aren't included but you get a good idea of how they will look.




There will be 24 designs in total, 1 to 5 in both girls and boys designs, and 14 general childrens' birthday cards.
