Greeting Cards & Wrap Christmas Wholesale Catalogue 2022
HELLO LOVELY Hello! I’m Louise, the creative designer behind Two For Joy Illustration. Two For Joy Illustration is an independent publisher of distinctive greeting cards, with an emphasis on beautiful, playful illustrations, paired with hand drawn typography. You will also find a small range of giftware within the pages of this catalogue! I work from my home studio in Ipswich, Suffolk. I have been running TFJ since 2016 and I have been lucky enough to have my cards in paperchase and funky pigeon, and I have worked on illustration briefs for English Heritage and Historic Scotland too. I launched my wholesale collection in 2020, and I’m really excited to be stocking some beautiful indie retailers in the UK! All printed products are made here in the UK, with a focus on sustainability and quality. You can read more about this over the next few pages. Thank you so much for taking the time to explore my catalogue. If you have any questions, or would like to request samples, please do reach out to me, I’d love to hear from you.

A Planet-friendly PLEDGE I am passionate about reducing the use of packaging, especially plastics, within my business. Here are a few planet-friendly pledges I have made this year:
All Greeting Cards are proudly printed in the UK on 300gsm FSC Certified cardstock. Each card and its envelope are 100% recyclable. The print house i use is solar-powered; all offcuts are recycled, and every single printing press is carbon neutral. Cards / Card packs are protected by planet-friendly bio-based film as standard, which is compostable, biodegradable and recyclable. Orders will often arrive with you in second-use cardboard boxes, secured with plastic free tape, where possible. New for 2021, i’ve written an Environmental Statement for each item, so you can see the waste impact of each product and it’s packaging has at the end of its life.
it's never just a card...
I’m more than happy to send you some free samples of my cards. They have such a beautiful quality that is hard to express in a catalogue! But, if you are a super keen bean and want to place an order right away, here is a little breakdown of my greeting cards..

Kits come complete with all the paper pieces you need, a ruler for scoring, a wooden scorer (great for children) and a pritt stick too. You only need to bring with you your enthusiasm and a pair of scissors! Once you have scored, cut, folded and glued you little houses together, you can fill them with your favourite treats, and place them all on your mantlepiece or shelf, and find the numbers 1-25 each day.

2023 wall planner
2023 EVERBLOOM WALL CALENDAR CAL_EVERBLOOM2023
Measuring 70cm x 50cm, this Wall planner runs from January 2023 to the end December 2023. The weekends are all coloured in a soft blue, and UK bank holidays are a muted pink. I’ve included some fun extra, but subtle details; a little pumpkin for Halloween, a firework for Guy Fawkes, a little heart on Valentine’s Day, as well as Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, and a note of when the clocks go forwards and back here in the UK. Part of my Everbloom collection, this calendar is adorned with illustrations of dried flowers, in a beautiful colour palette, full of blush pinks, deep plum, and sprinkles of mustard yellow and fresh blues. The boxes are vertical which makes it much easier to write your plans throughout the year. I have tested these thoroughly with pens and pencils and everything writes beautifully thanks to the matte finish of this paper.
30
My Environmental Impact Statement Each wall planner is printed here in the UK, and is fully recyclable at the end of its life. The tissue, packing slip, stickers and postal tubes are also recyclable. Tubes may come with plastic end caps, which unfortunately are not recyclable at this time, but ensure the product arrives with you in perfect condition.
Each Calendar comes rolled, wrapped in pink tissue with a cute sticker saying ‘2023 will be your year’ - and then safely packaged into a postal tube.
