Welcome to Happy Street
Here’s a little about who we are and what we do…
Our long held dream of designing and publishing our own greeting cards finally took off when we launched in 2023.
We are both experienced designers in the greetings card industry and met over a hot computer screen whilst working for an established card publisher. We became good friends, sharing a mutual passion for eye catching graphics, vibrant colour and powerful patterns. Our individual approach to design is quite different: Natalie trained in Graphic design and Sally in Textiles, but in combination we produce strong, contemporary ranges which really stand out from the crowd.
All of our cards start off life as hand sketches or collages, they are then refined and recoloured digitally. We test every design to ensure the type, colour, composition and finish is spot on. Our cards are printed by specialist printers right here in the UK. We love a thick quality board, giving the designs that feeling of luxury. We have studios in Essex and London and enjoy nothing more than a day together throwing ideas around.
We have two vital additions to the staff: our dog Dusty and Maggie the cat. They keep us sane. Dusty is an especially good, laid back ‘salesperson’ who comes on trips with us from time to time. Her sales technique is to lie on the floor in a shop, until an order gets placed! While Maggie just likes to sit on the cards when we are packing up the orders – always keen to know which designs you have picked! No order is too large or too small, we simply aim to deliver an enjoyable experience when buying from us.
Do give us a call. We would love to hear from you.
Natalie and Sally
