Love From Ophelia creates bespoke stationary featuring illustrations of real people. Most commonly children, but also fashion portraits, family groups and recently Christmas scenes and new homes. The cards can be personalised with text, addresses and a gorgeous range of fonts and colours. Here is a set of notecards with a picture of my youngest son in his blue check pyjamas with his name above in ‘Greswell Grey’. They are so smart – they are almost too good to send to anyone!
Alex started Love From Ophelia for many reasons. She loves stationary and since having children has enjoyed buying them lovely cards and paper to write their thank you letters. She was always looking for something a bit different and unique and struggled to find it. So, Alex spent the last year learning about graphic design and how to turn illustrations into printable products. It has been a huge learning curve and she has loved every second. Having had a career as a Management Consultant, she knew she wanted to work for herself so Love From Ophelia fits the bill perfectly. She can work when she wants and is also doing something she loves.
“When I started designing the range, I envisaged it would mostly appeal to mothers with pictures of their children or a family portrait. However, my customer’s have been so diverse – from a pilates teacher leaping through the air to a Society’s Christmas Card!”

Each pack is beautifully presented, carefully in a cellophane envelope finished with a ribbon. They would make a lovely present for a Godchild or a cool change of address cards with a drawing of your new house.
If you can’t decide, what about a picture of your family pet?
