Leading greetings card marketplace Thortful has announced that it has reached a monumental milestone, hitting £12 million in royalties for its community of creators. This achievement is a testament to the platform’s success in providing a space for talented designers, illustrators, and graphic designers to showcase their work.
A Community of Creatives
Thortful’s community of 6,000 creators has been the driving force behind the platform’s success. These individuals, who design full-time or use the platform as a side hustle to express their creativity, have produced a vast array of quirky, humorous, and thought-provoking cards that have resonated with customers.

The platform’s flexibility has been a major draw for many of its creators. Angela Chick from Portsmouth, one of Thortful’s original creators, has sold over 85,000 cards since joining the platform. She praises the flexibility that working with Thortful provides, saying:
“I love the flexibility that working with Thortful provides. I put my designs up for approval and the money ticks in. It’s really helped me out during the quieter times in my business, and it’s so important to me that I have time to get out and about to feel inspired.”
Becky Dinnage, also known as Ludicrous Prints on Thortful’s site, has also found success on the platform. Her royalties have paid for her £1,600 flights to visit her friend in Australia, and she has also been able to earn extra income that she has put towards her holidays every year.
Supporting Creatives
Thortful’s success is not just about the numbers; it’s also about the impact the platform has had on its creators’ lives. As a spokesperson for Thortful notes:
“These stories are what make Thortful so special, and what drives us to keep pushing boundaries and supporting our creators’ creative journeys. We wouldn’t be able to succeed without their unique talents, and we can’t thank the community enough.”
