Friday Find: Amy Walters' handmade foodie cards and prints for Valentine's Day


Get Kettle on Love greetings card, Amy Walters

On my latest furtive Etsy.com-trawl, I came across these charming food-centric greetings cards from London-based illustrator, Amy Walters. The dreaded V Day is coming up and if you're looking for something a little cooler than your average cuddly bear card, Amy's fun designs work perfectly.

The 'get the kettle on love' postcard (£1) is also available as a print (£12.63), and the 'I love you more than a giant burrito' card (£2.33) is spot on if you or your paramour is addicted to Burrito Bros/Benito's Hat/Poncho No.8/[insert latest London burrito outfit here]...

This 'retro kitchen' postcard (£1) is less obviously suitable for Valentine's Day but I've included it here as it makes a lovely card for any bakers you know, especially those welded to their KitchenAid or dreaming of owning one. It's also available as a print for the bargain price of £12.63...

Amy Walters also designs bespoke prints of your favourite building. I love this one of my favourite London cinema, The Ritzy in Brixton...

If your Valentine has a favourite cafe, restaurant or local building that's special to the two of you, Amy can design a print (from around £83). Chaps - this sort of personalised gift is lady catnip. Trust me, I speak as someone who once received an 'I Wuv U' cuddly devil from the Esso garage (rrp £2.99).

Thanks for this post - I'm going to check out her shop now. My husband has a burrito addiction so that card will have to be bought!
