You are no doubt familiar with the beautiful, intricate works of Jonathan Chapman aka Mr Yen. But did you know how easy it is to grab a piece of his papercut art for yourself, or someone else.

Chapman, a paper cut artist and designer based in Leeds, UK, has worked with the like of Oprah and House and Garden magazine and stocks his work, including cards and lace art on his website.

You can even inquire about your own custom design. What a great gift for someone special.

Keiko Brodeur is the designer, illustrator and stylist behind Small Adventure, a shop filled with unique cards and prints and more.

I spotted the range on Paper Pastries and was drawn in by the vibrant painted background on the eco set cards. The small boxes of card sets are perfect to have on hand for special occasions and to send off a quick thank you while  the prints would make great gifts for the adventurers in your life.

There is an emphasis on nature in the illustrations with a host of gorgeous butterflies and birds making up the range.

Struggling to remember the words to popular nursery rhymes, Sam Elliott, a designer from Perth, made them into art for her newborn daughter’s walls, and thus Humperdincks was born.

Her store has a range of giclée art prints for little ones and their parents, and grandparents in a quirky and zany style inspired by the world of her young daughter that is fun and colourful. Each print has been hand-drawn or painted with some digital illustration and colouring. Prints can also be personalised.

I want to educate and inspire. That is the simple reasoning behind my art. Nothing makes me happy like seeing my little girl pointing to her Twinkle, Twinkle picture, raising her arms in the air and twinkling those chubby fingers, encouraging me to join her in yet another rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Thanks Sam for sharing your work with me.
