gentle arts greeting cards

Instead of surrendering to a last-minute card-shopping spree at the newsagency on Christmas Eve, why not resolve to gather your greetings a few weeks early? We have it on good authority that there’s no better way to get in the festive mood than with a card featuring majestic lions wearing party hats, so maybe give Etsy shop gentlearts a whirl.

They have us sorted for joyful furry animals like pandas and bears, as well as not-so-furry-but still-adorable beasts like whales and hippos, all painted beautifully in water colour on handmade cards. Perfect for people who love animals, people who love a party, or to keep as a start to your very own paper zoo.
