Our new Children's Collection brings together five contemporary artists and illustrators to create beautifully illustrated children's greeting cards, gift wrap and gift tags — each with a distinctive visual language and a shared gift for storytelling. From magical woodland creatures and fairy tale castles to nostalgic tin toys and painted plush animals, the collection celebrates imagination through beautifully crafted paper products for children's birthdays and special occasions.
At its heart are our signature 3D children's greeting cards, pieces that unfold into miniature scenes designed to be treasured long after they're received. Alongside these illustrated children's cards, the collection includes coordinating children's gift wrap, wrapping paper, illustrated gift tags and paper garlands, making it easy to create beautifully presented gifts for birthdays and celebrations.
Gemma Koomen: woodland homes and hidden creatures
Working from Northumberland, Gemma Koomen creates enchanting illustrations inspired by wildflowers, woodland creatures and imagined miniature worlds. Her work combines close observation with a gentle sense of fantasy, inviting us to look more closely at the natural world around us.
For the Children's Collection, Gemma has designed two 3D die-cut children's cards, Toadstool Cottage and Little Log House, each accompanied by coordinating gift wrap and gift tags. Together they conjure a woodland dotted with curious creatures and hidden homes.
Fee Greening: mythical creatures under moonlit skies
Fee Greening's distinctive illustrations, drawn in dip pen and ink, take their inspiration from Medieval and Gothic art alongside folklore and the natural world. Rich in intricate detail, her work carries a quiet sense of mystery and enchantment that rewards a second look.
Her contribution to the collection features three intricately illustrated children's greeting cards, each exploring a mythical creature beneath a moonlit sky, together with coordinating children's wrapping paper and gift tags that extend her magical world beyond the card itself.
James Mayhew: illustrating fairy tales for over three decades
Known for his much-loved children's books, including the Katie series, James Mayhew has spent more than three decades combining illustration with storytelling. Alongside his publishing work, he collaborates with orchestras and musicians on performances that weave together music, drawing and narrative.
His design for the Children's Collection draws on classic fairy tales: a beautifully illustrated children's birthday card in the form of a 3D die-cut castle, paired with coordinating children's gift wrap for anyone who wants their gift-giving to feel like the opening page of a story.
Nathalie Lété: a Parisian world of plush toys and folk art
Paris-based artist Nathalie Lété is celebrated for a richly decorative style drawn from folk traditions, nature and childhood memories. Her joyful illustrations, populated by animals, flowers and treasured objects, have built an international following across illustration, ceramics, textiles and homeware.
For Art Angels, Nathalie's playful world takes the form of a 3D die-cut children's card inspired by her painted plush toys, alongside coordinating children's gift wrap, illustrated gift tags and a decorative paper garland.
Emily Sutton: an expanding world of Tin Toys
Emily Sutton has been part of the Art Angels family for many years, and we're delighted to expand her much-loved Tin Toys collection. Inspired by vintage children's toys, her illustrations combine intricate pattern, careful observation and a warm sense of nostalgia.
The expanded collection includes two 3D greetings cards, Polar Bear to Elephant and Cats to Dog, alongside newly introduced coordinating children's wrapping paper and illustrated gift tags — extending the playful charm of the original Tin Toys designs into a complete gifting range.
