HandS is a mother daughter enterprise making elegant personalised greetings cards to order.

All of our cards are constructed by hand. Whilst we specialise in 3D decoupage we have also dabbled in quilling and the like. The cards you see below CANNOT be reproduced, they are all unique. However, we hope that there is enough here to give the reader ideas. If you have an occasion coming up feel free to drop us a line with your thoughts on what will make the perfect card. We will gladly offer suggestions and prices specific to your needs.

3D Decoupage is a craft where identical prints of the same picture are individually cut out, shaped and built one on top of each other, using silicone glue as a spacer, to form a delightful, three dimensional picture. This picture can then be varnished to give it a porcelain effect. The ideas from which 3D Decoupage originate, or Papertole as it is known in Canada and America , have been around for a very long time.

Probably one of the earliest examples was found in Russia , in the 15th Century, was of a flower. The petals were made from dyed leather and were raised one on top of each other, using twigs as dividers, thus giving what would have been an otherwise flat subject an extra life like dimension.

All the cards shown on this site are 3D Decoupage. Some samples of our work can be viewed by using the links at the left hand side of the screen. To view a larger image please click on the thumbnail.
