According to designer Yvonne Leung and the mastermind behind the unique brand, it all began with a wooden greeting card, made to last. After selling first at local craft fairs, she expanded with sales to online shoppers and store owners. Soon, she discovered that people were equally excited by her idea as she was, and a fully fleshed brand was taking shape.

Aside from laser-cut wooden stationery, her brand also sells diaries, boxes, and other keepsakes, all inscribed with personal messages – a lasting reminder of special people and treasured connections. “Before we create an item, we ask ourselves, ‘Is this something that will last and that somebody will treasure?'” explained Leung in an interview with the Etsy blog, “‘Is it something that we feel is worthwhile to bring into this world?’. I surf a lot and when I see trash in nature, it breaks my heart. We really make our products thoughtfully and with care.”

This thoughtfulness takes place at every stage of production, making her products both ecological and unique. “It’s a way to say, ‘You’re important to me and you mean something to me, so I put thought into finding something that would make you feel special,’” says Leung.

Throughout her childhood, she distinctly remembers drawing two kinds of things: funny animals and characters (before she started to read) and words and letters (after learning how to read). “I think it is only natural that after years of practicing both I became a greeting card graphic designer and illustrator, she concludes.”

Now she works full time at the letterpress greeting card company Elum Designs, as both graphic designer and illustrator. Her skills are pretty much endless. In addition to having a layout, typography, and photography skills, she’s also able to create unique illustrations in almost any style or technique.

“I get to have fun coming up with concepts (illustrations as well as words) for greeting cards of all sorts of occasions, which are printed in a beautiful old (and complicated to learn) technique of letterpress,” she says. “I also get to design stationery collections and products, gift-wrap and gift bags, which are later sold in stores like Papyrus, Homegoods, Marshalls, TJ-Max, and Clintons.”

Dennis is a graphic designer by trade and she began the business after she found her husband unemployed and was struggling to pay rent.

“I’d spotted a gap in the market because I’d previously done some cards for an LGBT charity – the design was ‘to my favourite lesbian’. They were quite popular. With my designs I’m open to anything really. At the time, we had £30 in the bank and up popped the cards – it’s worked out well!” – Dennis told The Yorkshire Post.

“The humour is quite lewd – it depicts the reality of relationships, and couples who take the mess out of each other.”
