Eco-friendly

Welcome to Cotswolds Cards, where our love for the great outdoors shines through in every single card we create. Let's take a scenic ride through what makes us tick.

About me

Hey there! I'm Mark Anthony Sweeting, and I'm absolutely crazy about nature, health, and well-being. Give me a yoga mat, a horse, a bicycle, or even a cold lake for a swim, and I'm in my element. That's right, cold water swimming is another one of my passions! Basically, if it gets me outdoors, I'm all for it!

​

During lockdown, I took to my bicycle and set out to explore the Cotswolds and let me tell you, the scenery is something else. I kept stopping to take photos of the stunning views, and before I knew it, I was hooked on photography.

​

My greeting cards are all about seeing the Cotswolds through my eyes. I never thought I'd turn into a photographer, but here we are. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. They're not just pictures to me; they're a part of who I am and what I love ... embracing life and the great outdoors.

Nature crush

I have a serious crush on nature, and who can blame me? With a camera in one hand and a bicycle handlebar in the other, I've pedalled through the Cotswolds, capturing its beauty in snapshots. When not behind the lens, you'll find me horse-riding, running, cold-water swimming or practising yoga. Health, fitness, and well-being aren't just hobbies; they're my way of life!

Pedal-powered photography

Ever explored the Cotswolds on a bicycle? My photos are proof of the fun! Each click of the camera is a memory from a two-wheeled adventure through this captivating county. It's sightseeing with a side of exercise, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Eco-friendly packaging

I'm all about hugs, not harm. That's why my cards are printed on sustainably-sourced paper. They're plastic-free and simply secured with an easy-peel label.

Local printing in the Cotswolds

Our printer's local, just like us! Based in Stroud, they help us keep things close to home. Less travel, less fuss, more love for our local community.
