Cards & Gifts
Greeting cards and thoughtful gift packs featuring original watercolour artwork and poetry by Laura Ding-Edwards.
Pay it Forward Pack
£12.00
A curated gift pack designed to share encouragement and beauty. Perfect for sending a little light to someone who needs it — or treating yourself to a moment of warmth.
Add to CartThe greeting cards and gift collection from Rainbird Roots carries a distinctly personal touch, born from the watercolour landscapes and heartfelt poetry of Laura Ding-Edwards. Each piece reflects the quiet beauty of rural Herefordshire, where the artist draws her inspiration from the rolling hills, changing seasons, and the emotional landscapes we all carry within. The cards are printed on quality stock, with the original artwork and verse reproduced faithfully so that the warmth of the hand-painted originals translates onto the page. Blank inside, they invite the sender to add their own words, making each card a small, personal offering rather than a mass-produced afterthought.
Beyond individual cards, the gift range extends to items designed to bring comfort and encouragement into everyday life. Cushions, mugs, coasters, and other thoughtfully made pieces feature the same watercolour imagery and poetic lines, allowing the artwork to move beyond the page and into the home. Each item is sourced and manufactured through local businesses, reflecting a commitment to supporting the community and keeping production close to the landscape that inspires the work. The result is a collection that feels honest and grounded, where every object carries a sense of place and purpose.
Among the offerings, the Pay it Forward Pack stands out as a particularly meaningful choice. Curated to share encouragement and beauty, it is designed for those moments when words feel difficult to find — a way to send a little light to someone navigating a hard season, or simply to offer yourself a quiet moment of warmth. The pack brings together a selection of the artist's work in a form that can be given freely, passed along, or kept close. It speaks to the gentle philosophy woven through the whole collection: that art and poetry can be small acts of care.
Whether chosen for a birthday, a thank you, a sympathy, or no occasion at all, these cards and gifts are made to be lingered over. The combination of elegant serif typography and soft watercolour washes gives each piece a timeless, gallery-like quality, while the muted palette of blush creams, deep teal-navy, and burnished rust keeps the aesthetic cohesive and calm. For those who have followed Laura Ding-Edwards' journey as author of The Mountain, or who simply appreciate original artwork with emotional resonance, this collection offers a tangible way to carry a piece of that vision into daily life.
