New online greeting card shop on its way!

Lou Longworth online greeting card shop

I’ve not posted for a while as I’ve been working on a new project – a greeting card shop to sell my designs from! I really enjoy selling on Etsy but have decided it’s time to build my own shop too.

I’ll still be selling on Etsy (and on Folksy as well) but also want to have a space that I have more control over in terms of how my greeting cards are presented and how I interact with my lovely customers. I’ll let you know when it will be launched soon, but here are some things you might like to know about it in the meantime…

Collections in my greeting card shop

The site will launch with my music themed greeting cards (which are not available anywhere else) as well as the custom cartoon portraits that I’m best known for.

After the site is launched I’ll be releasing new collections every few months. These will be totally new designs, some of which will be seasonal and some of which will be available all year round, but will revolve around a specific theme.

VIP Subscribers get great discounts

My VIP subscribers will be the first to hear when a new collection is launching and will also get BIG discounts when a collection is first released. If you’re not already a subscriber, then now is the time to sign up! It’s completely free, you’ll get a free cocktails printable when you join and of course you’ll get those terrific discounts each time a collection is released. And of course you’ll be the first to get all my news too 🙂

The shop will be on loulongworth.co.uk but it will be easy to browse back and forth between here and there, so you can still find it via loulongworth.com (I’ll still be posting blog posts here – hopefully more regularly once the shop is up and running!)

Shopping made easy

You’ll be able to pay  securely with the usual cards and with Paypal. Of course if you’d still rather shop in my Etsy or Folksy shop you still can, but you’ll always get the best deals and latest designs first in my shop.

I’ll keep you posted but meantime remember to sign up as a VIP here to take advantage of my subscriber discounts when the shop launches!

New Valentine's Day cards

As well as the Couple Portrait Valentine Cards I wrote about last week, I’ve also added some other new Valentine’s Day cards to my Etsy shop – some ready to ship and one which can be personalised with your own photo. I’ve tried to create a range that appeals to different tastes, whether you prefer something soppy, cheeky or cute 🙂 Continue reading New Valentine's Day cards

Cartoon portrait Christmas cards and prints

I added a whole lot of Christmas designs, including cartoon portrait Christmas cards, to my Etsy shop a while back, but have been holding back before sharing them with you on here. I really don’t like it when Christmas starts too soon (not because I don’t love Christmas – I do – but because it’s always just those selling stuff that start talking about it months before and I don’t want to be that person!)

Now that the colder weather has arrived and we’re well into November however, I thought I’d let you know about some of the goodies you can find in my Etsy shop for Christmas 🙂

Custom name children's birthday cards

custom name children's birthday cards

Children love to see their own name in print and custom name children’s birthday cards are much more likely to be treasured by both kids and parents alike for a long time after they’re received.

This post has been updated to reflect the changes in my shop, as I’ve recently added a new range of children’s birthday cards.

I have personalised name cards for different ages as well as ones that are for any age. Here are a few examples…

Custom name children’s birthday cards with ages

These cards not only allow you to add a custom name but you can choose from a variety of children’s ages too. The rabbit and tractor designs are especially suited to younger children.

Tractor Personalised Birthday Card (Ages)

Dinosaur custom name birthday cards

Two different dinosaur designs (complete with dino pun!) that can be personalised with the child’s name. So many young children are obsessed with dinosaurs, and would be thrilled to received one of these cards with their name on it. But will you choose the Triceratops or the Stegosaurus?

Dinosaur Birthday Card (Personalisable) – Triceratops
Personalised Dinosaur Birthday Card – Stegosaurus

Personalised unicorn card

This magical unicorn card is made even more special with the addition of the child’s name. The design is also available separately with different ages instead of personalisation.

I hope the variety of different designs makes it easy to choose an extra special personalised card for the child you have in mind. Which one is your favourite? Come find me on Instagram and let me know!
