Welcome To Sarah Loves Cards
Thank you for visiting my Sarah Loves Cards website and blog, the home of my Paper Stationery business which I have been running since 2005.
I operated as a distributor for Phoenix Trading for 13 years until the company went into administration in 2017. My blog “Good Bye Phoenix Trading, Hello Sarah Loves Cards” documents the reasons for this closure. After the closure of Phoenix Trading, I became a Partner for Flamingo Paperie. Sadly, after five years, Flamingo Paperie also ceased trading, albeit for different reasons. I tell the story of the demise of Flamingo Paperie in my blog “What Happened To Flamingo Paperie“
Like Phoenix Trading, the Flamingo Paperie business was focused on British-made greeting cards, wrapping paper and notecards all year round. And in the Autumn/Winter; Charity Christmas Cards, Advent Calendars and Advent Calendar Cards. Over the past couple of years Flamingo Paperie has also successfully developed a range of Paper Craft Kits and Colour-In Paper Stationery.
As one of the main distributors for Flamingo Paperie I am carrying a lot of stock. I will continue to supply these products to my customers until I have sold them all.
So What Now For Sarah Loves Cards?
Exciting Developments For The Future
A new Greeting Card wholesale business has risen from the ashes of Flamingo Paperie called Lilac Tree Designs. They have recruited me as a Front Line Agent. The Directors are using the same printers as Flamingo Paperie and many of the same artists so we will be able to continue to offer the quality that you have come to expect from us. Sarah Loves Cards (as an Agent) will continue to fly the flag for British design. Lilac Tree Designs produces all of its greeting cards within the UK. The range has been produced using UK sourced, environmentally accredited materials.
At the end of 2024 I ceased attending fairs and markets for health reasons. I will continue to sell paper stationery via my online greeting card shop. I am also happy to lend out stock baskets and bags to local customers so that you can browse the range in the comfort of your home.
