Susan O'Hanlon Greetings Cards & Mugs

Susan O'Hanlon is one of those creators that we really love. She has been designing witty, charming and endearing greeting cards and other gifts for more than 16 years. Always with one eye on the playful side of life, Susan's work is whimsical and fun in a way that is sure to brighten the day of anyone who receives one of her cards. Her products are ideal for occasions from weddings and birthdays to anniversaries or just to let someone know you're thinking of them.

History Of Susan O'Hanlon

Susan O'Hanlon began creating cards and designs at her home in Buckinghamshire in 2006 and has gone on to create hundreds of designs that have made her work a popular choice in some of the world's most famous shops nationally and internationally, including Selfridges and John Lewis. All of the greeting cards that Susan O'Hanlon makes as a brand are designed in-house to add each to their long-term collection rather than capitalising on trends or creating a short-term hit. This is achieved by putting a lot of thought into each design and creating something which Susan herself would like to receive.

This has won Susan O'Hanlon a large and loyal fan base among consumers and stockists alike, and the majority of the shops that stock her products have been stocking them consistently since the very beginning. No wonder her cards and gifts are usually among the top ten best-selling items in the shop! People even 'destination shop' for her cards and seek them out specifically. This combination of sweet and funny designs based on relatable situations with an irreverent twist can't fail to make you smile whenever you see them on the shelves. This is how Susan has won so many fans and has been able to keep them returning for so long!

Susan O'Hanlon Collections

The range of cards and designs available in the Susan O'Hanlon collection is enormous and covers just about every occasion you can think of, as well as a variety of humorous wise words and sayings that perfectly capture all kinds of moods. Alongside her greetings cards, Susan O'Hanlon's designs are also available on many other products, including mugs and bags. Susan O'Hanlon creates designs in a number of distinct styles that make her cards particularly versatile, including bold designs with block colours and distinctive silver and gold lettering, printed and calligraphic cards, black, white and colour photography designs, as well as cartoon imagery with humorous captions. 

The distinctive style common to most of the Susan O'Hanlon collections is the combination of hilarious photography and comic captions that complement each other to make for humorous and relatable designs that all the family can enjoy. Her range isn't limited to comic cards, however, and there are also plenty of options when it comes to more serious subjects such as sympathy and bereavement cards, meaning you really can find options for just about any occasion among the range. At Sarah Thomson, we love the amazing selection available, and we think her cards are the perfect way to bring your preferred aesthetic into your home or give it to someone else's.
