About

Hi!

Firstly, let me thank you for stopping by my website! I'm Caitlin, the dreamer behind Caity-Lou, an illustration business based in a town just outside of Glasgow, Scotland. I sell greetings cards, wrapping paper, mobile phone accessories & paper crafting supplies.

My journey started as a creative hobby when I was 13, making and selling gymnastics themed cards at boys competitions while my brother competed and my mum was judging. As time went on, I wanted to take things more seriously and turn my hobby into a small business side-project around my job as a gymnastics coach. After researching various online platforms, I settled on opening my Etsy shop in 2016 - Caity-Lou Cards. I offered a range of unique handmade greetings cards with designs which weren't readily available anywhere else.

Towards the end of 2020, I started to branch out by creating figure skating illustrations both in traditional media & digitally and adding those to my collections. I also started to offer wrapping paper designs and began working on art prints and other products. Caity-Lou Cards became Caity-Lou Studios in 2021, reflecting the new direction I want to take my designs in. Instead of being limited to just greetings cards, I want to continue expanding my collection to include further wrapping paper options as well as art prints, stickers & more! I can't wait to share all of the ideas that have been floating around in my head for so long!

I have always had a creative streak and love making all manner of things as well as learning new skills. So, follow me on instagram for updates and a look at what goes on behind the scenes, subscribe to my newsletter for news & exclusive offers, and have a look at all of the fun products I have to offer. I'm always coming up with new artwork so be sure to keep an eye out for new products!
