The Story Behind Sealed by You

Hello, I’m Carla — the person behind Sealed by You.

What started as a simple idea during a spring walk in March 2023 has quietly grown into something much more.

I remember walking along, thinking about creating a space for greeting cards — something personal, something made by hand. My mind ran ahead of me, full of little ideas and designs, and not long after, I created a page to start sharing them.

That’s where the name comes from. Each piece is made by me, sent to you, and then sealed by you — ready to be passed on, shared, or gifted to someone else.

From there, things naturally unfolded. Greeting cards became personalised cards, then drawings, then keepsakes. And eventually, that led me to weddings — sketching guests, capturing moments, and creating something people could take home with them.

What began as a small creative outlet has become a place where I now draw for all kinds of occasions — from personal commissions to live wedding portraits — while still sharing the everyday side of making and creating.

At its heart, Sealed by You is about more than just the finished piece. It’s about slowing things down, making something by hand, and holding onto moments that might otherwise pass by.

So whether you’re here to order something personal, enquire about your wedding, or simply feel inspired to create again — you’re very welcome here.
