Meet the Team

Little Paperie started life as an award winning independent card shop, stationery and lifestyle boutique in the beautiful market town of Ashbourne in Derbyshire. Within 18 months we had won a ‘Reta’ for being the Best UK Greeting Card Retailer Newcomer in the North!!

Little Paperie opened its pretty doors in September 2014 and soon became a haven for stationery lovers near & far! After 8 amazing years {Let’s not mention the small matter of a pandemic!!} and with our lease coming to an end we decided it was time to spend a bit more time with family and friends and move the business fully online. It also gives us more opportunity to focus on our own designs and personalised collection.

Each and every brand and product that we stock is hand picked by us. We like to think Little Paperie is unique in style and we like our greeting cards and gifts to reflect that too! Over the last year few years we have had to evolve a lot! So we have created a fabulous online card shop {Covid has at least given us the time to add hundreds more of our greeting cards to our website!} we are continually adding new card designs and always on the look out for unique card brands to add to our offering!

We also have a fabulous range of our own personalised cards and prints. These are all hand drawn and painted by Heidi and then Lucy adds the finishes touches and gets them all ready for print. There’s something for everyone - safari animals, woodland creatures, pirates and princesses and even a gin and tonic or two!

If you can’t see what you are looking for drop us a message and we will see what we can do to help!
