Irish mammy greeting cards featuring my own hand drawn illustrations
If you’re a sea swimmer, you’ll enjoy the new designs for St Patrick’s Day this year. It’s freezing in there at the moment and you’ll need a hat! The Mammy Collection is guaranteed to bring a smile to faces this year. It’s a great excuse to send love around the planet …
Fab quality, environmentally sustainable and make in Ireland, I hope you enjoy them!
I love the idea of having a Mammy for every occasion. That is why I’m so excited about this brand new Box of Mammies. It’s a collection of twenty different Mammy cards including birthday cards, thank you cards, thinking of you cards and much more, all snuggled up in a luxury, magnetic box to keep them in. It’s all about spreading the love, and no better woman that a Mammy to do that!
If you’re waiting for a hair appointment and, like me, if you had a go at own your hair over lockdown, then this is the card for you!
I watched an online video late one night about one month ago and as a result, ended up with my little curved nail scissors in pretty poor lighting, cutting my hair. It was more than the fringe this time, I went for it! The sides, the layers, the fringe … I had such a feeling of dread when I woke up the next morning but it wasn’t so bad. Let’s just say I blended in with everyone else who’d had a go at cutting their own hair too!
This Irish made greeting card is part of the Mammy Collection which also features a large range of Irish birthday cards, sympathy cards and thank you cards as well as Irish language cards.
Wishing you a great haircut – you won’t know yourself!
I’ve just added a new selection of greeting cards to the Mammy Collection. This is a mini collection of greeting cards that you can have on standby to send to someone you care about. The collection includes a birthday card, a thank you card as well as a card for the galavanter in your life and someone who has notions! I hope you like them.
This greeting card is perfect to send to somebody you know who is in the process of mastering the art of banana bread. Who would believe that this has been a highlight of lockdown. As always, this greeting card is premium quality, eco friendly and made in Ireland. I hope you like it!
For Mother’s Day this year, I’ve been thinking about how many of us who are lucky enough to still have our mothers, might not be able to visit them this year. I know I won’t be able to visit my own mother and would love to be able to give her a big hug.
So whether you’d like to send a hug or tell your mother she’s the loveliest mother, you’ll find that Mother’s Day card here in the Mammy Collection.
So happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers out there, keeping it together, home schooling, cooking dinners and being the steady woman who is rocking it. Here’s to you. You’re brilliant!
Years ago, for Valentine’s Day, myself and my friends would buy a Valentine card for that special someone and fill it with Valentine verses. We would write them in our most anonymous writing so there was an element of mystery to it. Then we would get up really early – before dawn – and deliver the cards by posting them directly into our chosen one’s letterbox! There was the added thrill of the risk of being caught or found out and the Valentine verses were just great.
This is the first year that I have designed Valentine cards and I decided to include some of the long forgotten verses. Some of them weren’t a bit suitable and some were downright insulting – like this one:
You think you look like Elvis
You think you talk like him too
But when it comes to kissing
You taste like Irish Stew!
The one I liked the best is the one featured here …
If I was a cabbage
I’d divide myself in two
The leaves I’d give to others
The heart I’d give to you.
I hope you enjoy these Valentine cards, if you have more verses I’d love to hear from you.
Go on, spread the love!
Happy Valentine’s Day
I’ve just added some new collections of greeting cards including this Mammy Birthday Collection. I’d love to know what you think.
This is the perfect set of birthday cards for galavanting friends with notions who love cake and are always making a show of themselves!
There’s no doubt that we are in troubling times, yet people are becoming more thoughtful and considerate. We miss the people we care most about and can’t visit them due to new restrictions.
I remember when we had the economic crash ten years ago, when things got really tough, people became kinder and more thoughtful. I suppose what I’d like to say is be safe and look after yourself and those close to you, and maybe use the time to slow down and get in touch with people again. This could be sending a card or giving them a call.
Maya Angelou said that every storm eventually runs out of rain. I like this saying, although I’m not sure if it can be applied to the weather in Galway!
There’s an Irish word that I love, ‘misneach’. It means courage of spirit. I wish you misneach and peace of mind.

I’ve just added a little texture to my latest Mammy cards. This one has a funny story behind it. I sent a preprint copy to my daughter, Dara, saying “what do you think? I used part of your jumper for this”. The reply I got was “OMG! WHAT JUMPER?!!” I thought it was too small but still, there’s only a small part of it missing …
