Although recently Cinnamon Aitch has expanded its ranges of printed cards, the company is still proud to be one of the few greeting card producers to create beautiful card ranges that are finished by hand.
The hand-finished element has always been an integral element to the business, which dates back 24 years to the first card ranges Cinnamon Aitch created, which were all completely hand made and incorporated stitch. Although the imagery and processes have moved on over the years, designing with additional hand-applied elements remains paramount, offers a point of difference and keeps them ahead of the game.
This is beautifully illustrated by the recently launched ranges, Hodge Podge and Monty and Pip. Hodge Podge retains a very handmade feel throughout, with collaged artwork and even the lettering is cut and pasted before printing. In addition to this, each design has an aperture that has an actual thread drawn across (nodding back to the company’s earlier designs) and is finished with an eclectic mix of gems, buttons and little wooden beads.
Monty and Pi is another hand-finished range that punctuates a frenzy of colour and pattern with die cut tags that are applied by hand with a nickel rivet. Contemporary and joyful is the feel, which includes a smattering of bespoke wooden shapes hand-applied onto the tag.
Currently the most popular of the hand-finished ranges that the company produces is Primrose Hill. This is a sensitive, hand-painted range, which evolved from the firm favourite hand-finished Piccadilly ranges. The introduction of a delicate palette with on-trend imagery has proved a winning formula and sees the range grow to 93 in total this summer. Each design is carefully hand finished with little gems and flowers adding an understated sparkle, delicately enhancing each illustration. The new additions see extensions to age captions as well as introducing relations to the range. A flurry of beautiful open birthday designs and occasions complete the newness.
Quality is key, so all cards continue to be printed on heavyweight, textured FSC board and made entirely in the UK. If it’s added value, an elegant sprinkle of sparkle or just something very special with a point of difference that you’re looking for, then look no further!
Cinnamon Aitch is exhibiting at PG Live where it will have all its latest newness alongside beautiful handmade eco soaps, lip balms and other stationery loveliness.
