We are a greetings card company based in Bristol, publishing high quality cards and stationery. htt http://www.jamesellis.com

Our customers are shops, department stores and distributors worldwide. We also have an online shop and have recently launched a range of personalised stationery.

Top quality personalised photo albums available in four colours and two sizes. We’ve added quite a few designs recently, especially for new babies. With everything on our phones these days it’s so special to have a physical book of memories to reminisce over, and putting an album together would make a lovely cosy autumnal activity now the nights are beginning to draw in. 🍂❤️

We are finalists in two categories in The Henries (The Oscars of the greeting card world)! We have made it through to Best Handmade or Hand-finished Range for our foiled Paper Shakies adult ages, and Best Children’s Range for our Paper Shakies ages 1 to 6! A big shout out to our super talented artists and whose work features in these ranges, and our artworkers who lovingly assemble every Paper Shakies card by hand here in the UK. 🙌 🎉

We are very happy to announce that we are now members of an FSC® certified group (FSC®-C004309). Only the products identified as such are FSC® certified but this includes all the cards in our new range, Paintworks. Sustainability has been at the forefront of our minds for the past few years as we try to take responsibility for the impact our business has had on the planet. Sustainable sourcing of materials for our products is key. Whilst we already strived to use paper made from wood pulp sourced from sustainable forests, this ensures that we are helping safeguard our planet’s forests and their inhabitants. 🌲 It is also really important to us that our customers feel confident that they are buying an ethically produced product.

We’re really chuffed to be shortlisted for not one but five categories in this year’s Henries! These categories are:

* Best Art Range for our new Paintworks collection
* Best Children’s Range for our Paper Shakies ages 1 to 6
* Best Handmade or Hand-finished Range for our foiled Paper Shakies adult ages
* Best Relations and/ or Occasions Range for our Paper Shakies relations and occasions
* The Henry Cole Classic Award for our Shakies and Paper Shakies

A close up of some cards from our new art range, Paintworks. Beautifully printed on 100% recycled textured board, the artwork also sits in a debossed square, giving them a gorgeous tactile and luxurious quality.

Our typographic albums have always been a popular choice, so we’ve restyled this design in notebook form! There are five cover colours and six text colours to choose from. From a study notebook to a travel journal, this book can be personalised for any purpose. A special gift for lots of occasions, and great for someone who is difficult to buy for! 🖊

We’re hoping this whimsical new woodland height chart illustrated by Linda Tordoff might help encourage young children to connect with nature. From the common earthworm to the lesser known xylodromus, there’s plenty to look at and learn about. Can any of these plants or creatures be spotted in your garden, local park, or on a trip further afield? 🦡🐛🪱🦊🦔🐞🦉🐌🌳
