Who is The Nonsense Maker?
Established in 2016, The Nonsense Maker is inspired by Melbourne artist Emily May's adventuring alter ego. With the help of her business partner Sidonie the brand has grown into a playful, fun, and whimsical collection of Australian greeting cards, wall art prints, unique gifts, and wedding stationery.
A curious mix of silly and sad imagery, all products start as fine-liner art, are digitally coloured, and printed on ethically sourced bespoke paper. All artworks are designed and made in Melbourne.

Greeting Cards Melbourne
Melbourne artist Emily May imagines her quirky Australian birthday cards from a whimsical world where her alter ego The Nonsense Maker was born. Highly detailed, playful and always wonderful, her handmade greeting cards are a unique reflection of her Melbourne childhood.
The Nonsense Maker HQ is based in Brunswick, Melbourne. All of our Australian greeting cards and gift tags are imagined, drawn, and produced in Melbourne and manufactured using all local Australian suppliers. Our two female founders are both Melbourne born and raised, and much of our art print inspiration is drawn from Melbourne's vibrant laneways and many hidden secrets.
We understand greeting cards are usually purchased for a specific occasion so you often need them quick smart! That's why we guarantee 1-2 day dispatch from our Melbourne studio when you buy greeting cards online with The Nonsense Maker.
