For the people who don’t do subtle 🙃

8 letters. 3 words.
Straight to the point. Zero fluff.

Say it with a card, or keep it sweet and simple with a gift tag 💌

Same same, but different 💖

I have been stocked at this location up north for a little while now, but it has had a bit of a change this new year - it’s no longer Little Swallow Society, it’s run by a new collective.

Introducing ! Very excited to continue on this journey with Em and the other wonderful creators 🥰

So if you’re after a cute card or gift tag, and want to support local (especially with V-Day coming up) head on into Ocean Keys!

Same spot, same location, same care and love as always.

Some love stories are sweet.

Some are chaotic.

And some have a hidden and secret love, but were always meant to be. 👀🔥

The “Perfect Match” card is for your other halves, soul mates, and besties who understand you on another level — the kind of love where you need to say it in your own language.

(IYKYK)

And if you don’t — it’s still a damn good Lovers card 😌

Available now for Valentine’s Day ❤️

A closer look into 2025’s Christmas designs 🎄

🎅🏼 All I Want For Christmas Is Brew
A design inspired by what I think an Aussie Santa would be doing after dropping presents under everyone’s tree — hit the beach with an esky (or in my case, a chilly bin) filled with beers, and the most holiday but still Christmassy outfit.

💟 Holly Jolly Stamps
The ultimate holiday card with stamp designs of all the things that remind us of Christmas. From a gingerbread man, to crackers, there’s no mistaking what this card is celebrating.

Available for purchase online, in person at my stockists, or at a market 😊

Which one’s your favourite?

Let’s design a Christmas card 🎄🎨

Some of my card ideas come to life in a couple hours… others? Let’s just say it’s a whole creative journey (with a few “breaks” that mysteriously turn into doom scrolling 😅).

This time, I decided to record the process from sketch to screen so you can see how one of this year’s festive designs comes to life!

🎥 Watch ‘til the end to see the design reveal — and come back soon for the final version 👀
