Bonsai Flowers Papercut Card, £4.50 

For those that don’t live near the family home, it’s important to be organised early for Mother’s Day, Sunday 10th March. Of course, we have an inspiring collection of gifts and curiosities to treat your mum to, but did you know we sold cards too?

We love this bold and bright illustrated card with gorgeous floral background in creamy pastel yellow. Adorned with twinking sequins, the beautiful flowers stand in an unusual pot and a nearly neon envelope makes sure mum knows which card to open first!

The card is blank inside for your own message so make things as soppy as you like! We have a variety of other cards in store and you can also buy this design on our online shop.
