The Curious Fox

Popped into our local treasure trove for all things Christmas - The Curious Fox - who are stocking the fab gold foiled Florentine Christmas collection created with Portfolio Cards. So lovely to catch up with Christmas experts Stewart & David. As always the shop is looking gorgeously bedecked with festive decorations & their famous (see here) Christmas window is a joy.  Stewart makes the models by hand. Recently his work was featured on Grayson Perry's Art Club and is currently on show at the exhibition in Birmingham!

Florentine Christmas 2022

I'm happily bringing some photos to the journal this week of the new 2022 Christmas additions to our favourite Florentine collection created in a collaboration with Portfolio Cards

Following on from Festive Friday I've been writing lots of these beautiful new designs this week. Royal Mail have just brought forward the last post dates for Christmas. Second class post has come forward by a week to Monday, 12 December, and First class Christmas post has been reduced by five days to Friday, 16 December. Best get our ice skates on!

Florentine features a rich, jewel like colour palette with detailed debossed artwork and golden foil. The beautiful illustrations are inspired by traditional Italian papers, specialist letter press art prints and ornate wallpapers. The design style embraces a lux, fine detailed and illustrative approach. Each design is printed in the UK with plastic free foil on environmentally friendly board and is supplied with a kraft or white envelope. Released this autumn and now available in the shops this Christmas season. French captioned as seen below are available from Kiub supplied boutiques in France.

Festive Friday 2022

Ooh I can't believe it's that time already, it's Festive Friday this week. A day for all us greeting card fans to send our Christmas post to create a fantastic first wave of beautiful cards arriving in early December and getting us all in the mood for sending Christmas cards. 

Following on from last year's festive London skyline scene, this year I'm sending a card from the 2022 new additions to our favourite Florentine Christmas collection created for Portfolio Cards. This merry little Christmas tree will soon begin it's journey around the world spreading some Festive cheer.

Dates for your calendar for UK post, Royal Mail’s advertised last posting dates are 19 December with second class stamps, and 21 December for first class.
