About Card Carnival
In Summer 2018, Card Carnival was born out of a passion for graphic art, and a desire to bring something unique and fresh to the world of art greetings cards. We started trading officially in April 2019, and the first year went reasonably well. Then there was a global pandemic!
We survived it - both physically, and financially (just about), more galvanised than ever to help and inspire people to maintain their personal relationships outside of the digital realm. We think it has never been more important.
Today, our cards can be found in greeting card shops and gift shops across the UK, and in a few countries overseas too!
greetings card designer
Through vibrant and exciting design, with a heavy nod to the graphic art of the mid-20th century, we take pride in creating timeless greetings card designs for all occasions. Our hope is for our cards to remain on mantles, shelves, bookcases and desks well beyond the occasion that the card was given to mark. #CardForKeeps
greetings card publisher
We don't just design the cards. Getting them printed is at the heart and soul of Card Carnival. All of our cards are designed and printed here in the UK by other small businesses. By using UK based firms, we are able to provide quality products, which are both socially and environmentally responsible. Our cards and envelopes are all printed and manufactured using sustainably sourced, FSC accredited materials. #Sustainable
