We make Joyful Stationery™ by blending good design, a dusting of glitter and lots of sprinkle-coated donuts. More importantly we love what we do and that shines through on what we produce like a beaming ray of sunshine.
BIG IDEAS
All of the creations that adorn our goodies are the result of lots of brainstorming and doodling in our sun-filled studio in East London. Rebecca constantly takes her notebook everywhere and as soon as an idea pops into her head then POW! A quick scribble is done and it starts from there.
DECISIONS? DECISIONS?
From the doodling then comes the shortlisting. Rebecca turns the studio into a huge canvas, getting all of her inspiration, sparkly materials and sketches pinned up EVERYWHERE! Mark puts the tunes on and together they whittle down the super-dupers from the less than coolers.
Designing Magic
We then get the paints out along with the calligraphy kit. After a few experimentations, we scan in and jump on the comp to make the final design. We review, amend, review again until the design hits our high standards. Once done we high-five, celebrate and wait with bated breath for their arrival from the printers.
Sourcing cool stuff
It is not only the design that needs careful attention, no way José! The sourcing of the paper, selecting the complementary envelopes and identifying the eye-catching finish is all a huge part of the final product. Rebecca is a human magpie, loving everything that sparkles and we mean everything!
The print bit
All our goodies are printed in the UK by some very lovely suppliers. They turn the artwork into reality which is a bit special. We use numerous finishes on our products and the printer angels always manage to get what we envisaged onto a product.
Family freighters
These lovely printer folks then send the creations to even more lovely people (our families) who manage the distribution with an efficiency Speedy Gonzales would be envious of. It is a real family unit here at Raspberry Blossom. Then just like that, the goods arrive at where they need to be – with our lovely customers.
