Hi, I'm Claire Vincent. Pleased to meet you.
I'm a Graphic Designer, Paper Engineer (as in Pop-up book designer) and now maker/seller of Cards and Paper Gifts and of course my latest passion - Cross Stitch Patterns and kits!
Many years ago I started Love Poppet as a blog. I then went on to open an Etsy store, a Folksy store and then became a partner of Not On The High Street. Somehow along the way my blog was lost, but Love Poppet is still going strong.
I have a big love for paper and card and all it can do. After struggling to find cards that interest me, I decided to create my own fun and unique range. I love the challenge to come up with beautiful designs that I would be proud to see up on the wall. This challenge has now progressed into designing cross stitch patterns and all sorts of stitching goodies.
I create every cross stitch pattern and kit myself, in my small studio in Kent - which I share with my hubby Nick and our loopy, squirrel hating dog Wilf.
As a mum of two girls, I am often out and about and get most of my inspiration from nature and the local area. Now I'm also reluctantly becoming a runner, so we'll see how that inspires my designs.

I completed the ‘Rockin Robin’ cross stitch kit and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of working on it. I haven’t done any cross stitch since I was very small and this was a perfect kit for me.
I recently lost a very close family member and I found doing this cross stitch was very helpful for me, very calming and helped me have some time out. I think I will have a look for the next project now as some lovely kits in the shop. Thank you again X
