Butterflies and Moths Greetings Card by Kate Heiss
£2.99Butterflies and Moths Greetings Card by Kate Heiss
Designed by the highly skilled print maker and textile designer Kate Heiss, the Butterflies and Moths greetings card is a feast for the eyes incorporating winged lovelies as well as funghi and plants. We’ve spotted a Rosy Maple Moth as well as an Elephant Hawk Moth and a Scarlet Tiger (though it could be a Jersey Tiger!).
The artwork for the Butterflies and Moths greetings card has been created using lino cut printing and heavy debossing (imprinted shapes) on board sourced from one of the oldest paper mills in the country, in the Lake District.

Chaffinch Card by Kate Heiss
£2.99Chaffinch Card by Kate Heiss
From the printmaker’s Songbirds collection, the Chaffinch Card by Kate Heiss features this much-loved songbird, printed from an original linocut design in bright, bold colours, with the bird’s name stamped directly into the artwork. The card is printed on beautiful textured board and finished with deboss.
A flash of white on the wings and white outer tail feathers is often the first visual cue that chaffinches are about. Their markings help to camouflage them when feeding on the ground. Their call is loud and they’re often heard before they’re seen!

The robin is one of the UK’s most well-loved garden birds and is considered by some to be our national bird. Whilst most survive barely more than a year, the oldest robin clocked up 19 years! The last to bed and the first to rise, the robin is a year round companion to gardeners and tolerates humans more readily than most garden birds.

The bird is also distinctive by its “tremble and trill” song.

Nuthatch Card by Kate Heiss

The blue-grey, white and chestnut-coloured nuthatch is an avian acrobat, able to descend head-first and hang upside down beneath twigs and branches. Nuthatches will sometimes plaster mud around the entrance of their nesting hole, which makes it smaller and less accessible to competitors and predators. It also gives them their alternative name of mud dabbler or mud stopper!
