About us

Hello and welcome to the beautiful watercolour world of Crumble and Core!

Based in East Sussex we are a family run, British company proud to produce luxury hand finished Greetings Cards, Boxed Silver Jewellery Cards, Boxed Scented Candle and Greeting Cards, Stationery and Prints.

Here at Crumble and Core, we are doing our bit for the environment and where possible our products are recycled and biodegradable. British Designed, British Made.

Jilly our incredible watercolour artist, along with designers Lucy and Lou, create images to cherish, celebrating both the everyday and special days. 3 friends came together to start Crumble & Core which began its life with a cup of tea around the kitchen table.

Since then we have grown, and now run our business from a beautiful Oast house on a farm in the stunning East Sussex countryside, with our products sold extensively in the UK as well as in the Netherlands, Japan, Australia and North America. The kitchen table came with us, where Jilly still sits and creates our watercolour world.
