About Me

Spreading Laughter, One Card at a Time

Hi there! I’m Paul, the quirky mind behind Paul Designs 4u. Born in 1975 and raised on a steady diet of British comedy gold, I’ve spent years channeling my love for iconic characters like Tony Hancock’s The Lad Himself, Frank Spencer’s chaotic charm, and the timeless antics of Del Boy and Rodney from Only Fools and Horses into creating cards that’ll make you snort your tea.

My Comedy Roots

My obsession with British humor started young. Whether it was laughing at John Finnemore’s Cabin Pressure or devouring weekly doses of The Beano and The Dandy (Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, and Gnasher were my heroes!), I’ve always believed laughter is life’s best glue. And let’s not forget Desperate Dan’s cow-pie obsession – pure genius!

For years, friends and family begged me to design unique, funny cards that captured this classic wit. Eventually, I took the plunge – and never looked back.

The Journey So Far

After years of honing my craft, I launched my eBay store, where I earned Top Rated Seller status and countless 5-star reviews (thank you, lovely customers!). But I wanted to go bigger. In 2025, I took the leap to create this website – a space where I can offer better deals, free standard delivery, and even more of the cheeky, nostalgic designs you love.

Every card is dreamed up and handcrafted in my cozy studio, nestled in the suburbs of Birmingham – a city I’m proud to call home.

Why Choose My Cards?

  • Unapologetically British: My designs are stuffed with nods to the comedy legends and comics that shaped us.

  • Quality with Heart: No mass-produced nonsense here – each card is made with care (and a dash of mischief).

  • Fair Prices, Happy Customers: Ditching eBay fees means I can pass the savings to you – without skimping on quality.

A Personal Note

This isn’t just a business – it’s a lifelong passion. Every time I sketch Dennis the Menace’s grin or scribble a Del Boy-ism, I’m reminded why laughter matters. Thank you for supporting my small, Birmingham-based dream. Let’s keep the British comedy spirit alive!
