At Almond Rose Designs, we believe pets deserve to be celebrated just like any other family member. That’s why we’ve created a unique range of pet greeting cards, perfect for marking life’s big and small moments. Inspired by the way animals communicate with us every day, our cards bring a little extra joy to pet owners and animal lovers alike.
Our Story
Founded by Fiona, a graphic designer with a passion for pets, Almond Rose Designs brings together creativity and a love for animals. After years in the design and corporate world, Fiona decided to combine her skills with her love for pets, resulting in a collection of cards that are as thoughtful as they are beautiful.
All of our cards are designed in-house and printed in Ireland, using eco-friendly inks on FSC-certified paper. We’re proud to support Irish jobs and contribute to a sustainable future, ensuring that every card you send is kind to the environment.
The Inspiration Behind the Cards
While Fiona brings the design expertise, the real creative force behind our brand is a pair of lovable collies—Lexie and Leia.
Lexie, our 4-year-old Inspiration Manager, takes her job very seriously. She’s responsible for barking at the postman, ensuring we never miss a delivery, and joining us in our Zoom meetings to offer her paw-sitive vibes.
Leia, our Junior Creative Assistant, joined the team in July 2023. At just one year old, she’s already made a name for herself with her daily antics, bringing plenty of laughter and collie cuddles to the office which can often be seen on our instagram page.
Together, we’ve created a wide range of Irish-made, sustainable pet greeting cards. Our collections include:
- Cartoon Cards: Playful designs that capture the fun side of pets.
- Christmas Cards: Festive greetings with a furry twist.
- General Cards: From birthdays to well wishes, we’ve got you covered.
- Irish Language Cards: Celebrate as gaeilge in our native tongue.
- Love Cards: Share the love with pet-themed designs.
- Sympathy Cards: Offering comfort during tough times.
- Wedding Cards: Perfect for pet-loving couples.
We also offer personalised cards and custom branding for pet-related businesses, ensuring every occasion is pawsitively perfect.
