Our Story
HOW IT ALL
BEGAN...
Curious Pencil was born from family, our Christian values, and a heart for making people smile. In 2015, we decided to combine our skills (Simone, a creative writer and editor, and Sheleen, an artist) to produce our very first greeting card. After selling to the public, we soon began to hear incredible stories of how our cards impacted others’ lives, from rekindling marriages to helping people through dark times.
Fast forward to 2017, with backgrounds in the corporate world, we experienced firsthand the disconnection between people and large organisations. Knowing the emotional impact our cards had, and recognising the lack of similar offerings, we introduced corporate greeting cards and haven’t looked back since. We’ve found that our cards add much-needed human-to-human connection, build brand personality, enhance customer experience, nurture existing relationships, and grow word-of-mouth referrals—all from a small but powerful gesture.

Making the world smile, one person at a time
OUR
Mission...
Our mission is to connect people in an otherwise disconnected world, through greeting cards. By doing this we aim to make the world smile – one person at a time…
Our hope is that every customer / client / staff member, no longer feels like a number but truly feels valued. We strive to enable each company we work with improve their customer experience, by connecting emotionally with their clients through our branded greeting cards. We aim to do all of this while empowering local artists and supporting the charities we stand beside.
OUR
difference...
Unlike the standard shop bought card, our cards are custom-designed for your brand. We also steer away from the lack of personality in a typical “corporate greeting card”. But add a fresh heart-warming look, unforgettable, hand-illustrated designs and great quality, in order to stand out on mantlepieces and pull at the heartstrings of your staff/customers.
We are proudly built on family, and work with a dynamic team of local talented artists. We print with impressive quality. All of our cards are approved & certified by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
OUR
values...
Our values extend from our Christian beliefs, we believe each individual is important and deserves to be valued. This is why we treat each customer, how we would like to be treated, with respect, attention to detail and a personal service. We make sure our interactions are delivered with genuine care and transparency.
Whilst customer experience is key, we also pride ourselves in the quality of our cards. We continuously stretch ourselves creatively to offer the best product and designs for our customers.
