The Art File have created a stunning collection of 16 cards in collaboration with English Heritage, which celebrate the timeless history of the sites in our care. Every design in this collection is inspired by specific architecture, design and scenery at English Heritage sites. You can see the exact inspiration printed on the back of every card, adding depth for both the sender and receiver. One of our favourite examples is the use of original Chinese wallpaper located in the Dining Parlous of Marble Hill – a fine example of a Georgian house built for a woman, Henrietta Howard installed the wallpaper in the 1750’s, and has been inspiration for one of the stunning Greeting card designs you can collect today.

By shopping these exclusive collections you're further supporting the valuable work of English Heritage in caring for hundreds of sites and millions of artefacts from England's history.

The collection uses a range of unique and detailed finishes, including textured foil, multi-level embossing and sculptured embossing. Every card is printed on a high-quality 280GSM board, set in a larger square card format. These 16 stunning designs are unique and are sure to turn the heads of even the most discerning of greeting-card shoppers.

Alongside the new designs, The Art File have also launched a branded English Heritage corner clasp, making the card plastic-free and completely recyclable.

Delving into the English Heritage project was like wandering through a treasure trove of history, discovering enchanting stories intricately woven into the tapestry of our past. In overcoming our initial trepidation, we have emerged with a collection that we truly love and believe in.
