It's in her little bedroom studio in 2013 that all the magic originally began. Back then, Liz was set on spreading positivity and kindness through the messages we give ourselves and each other. She chose greeting cards as her vessel because they were thrifty and she was working with what she had. For her first collection, Liz designed cards based on the color of the envelopes she'd managed to buy in bulk.

Any time I visit Nola, Magazine St is a must for me so I was shocked I have never visited this store. I bought the most beautiful pens from here as I am one to frequently send snail mail. They sell the most gorgeous colors of pens, beautiful cards, and offer custom stationery. I have been home for a day and already used the pens I bought 3 times. The ink is beautiful and dries quickly. I'm looking forward to practicing calligraphy and plan to order more from their store!

I love everything about this place. The staff was so nice and everything was so bright and pretty. It's the sort of place that you want to buy everything. Great location on Magazine near Fleurty Girl and The Bulldog. The prices were pretty good too. We got 2 pen, 2 cards, and Bernie for under $20 I think. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because when I was using one of the pens to write on one of the baby shower cards I bought, the pink gel pen would stop writing like every 5 seconds and then when the ink would come out it was way too liquidy. But I would still definitely recommend

My friend recommended this cute shop for some stationary. I don't use stationary often, but I needed to write a hand written thank you note for someone. I was hoping this local business would have cute New Orleans themed stuff, and I was right! They have a great selection of stationary, cards, pens, pencils..basically all of your writing needs!
Staff was super friendly and helpful. At the checkout counter, they were selling mystery bags. Each bag had random greeting cards. Had no need for greeting cards, but I am sucker for a special. Lol. I received 5 various, fun cards on sale for $10 for

I'm surprised I haven't written a stellar review for Lionheart Prints yet. They are one of my favorite stores in New Orleans. They sell stationary and gift items including drinkware, ornaments, puzzles, notepads, pen sets, greeting cards, decal stickers, art prints, candles, facemasks and lots more. They also sell art kits (like hand lettering) that really inspire creativity and I am all for it. I am always excited to stop in and peruse. You can shop online too!
I have to note that I am incredibly impressed by their COVID response. They adapted quickly with pickup and delivery, then

Lionheart Prints is an absolutely lovely place to shop! Everything I have ordered from this store has been not only beautiful, but clearly made with high quality materials. I have been utilizing their pick up options and my order is ready within minutes. This is the best place to buy gifts, especially for people hard to shop for (who doesn't love a good journal or nice pen?!). Unfortunately, I've fallen into the bad habit of ordering two of everything so I can keep one for myself! Seriously, everything from this store is so good. We need more small businesses like this!

I can't say enough about Lionheart Prints. A small store, but it's still my favorite place on Magazine. The natural lighting makes it brighter and just a happy atmosphere. I've bought a few things from here with the intention of giving them as gifts, but ended up keeping them myself. I've also tried just about every single "try me" pen/marker they have available. Check them out for small gifts/prints. Shop local!

Such a fun shop on Magazine Street that I got to explore and take a look for some gift shopping I need to do soon. I didn't know this at first but they offer classes such as calligraphy, printing, and typography.
All of their designs are unique and made in-house by their owner. I really like those steampunk looking machines they use in order to make all the cards. It was super cool to see them in action!
The cards here are super fun and definitely have a fun sense of attitude on them. Lionheart also has cards for occasions that you wouldn't realize you need until you see them here.

I love this shop! Their selection of unique prints, stationary, journals, planners, and gifts is wonderful! Even better, the people who work here are very sweet and helpful. The owner is also very artistically talented! Her penmanship and calligraphy skills are mesmerizing! If you're looking for someone to hand write something or customize anything, Lionheart is the way to go! They customized my sister's Corksickle bottle beautifully! I also would like to give a shoutout to the owner for remembering and including my favorite planner in the gift when I picked it up. It was so beautifully

This is the cutest little store full of great finds. My husband and I always stop in here when wandering down magazine. My husband doesn't really enjoy shopping but he gets excited to come here. We have bought countless cards from here, but also pens, planners, art prints, Christmas ornaments, key chains and more. The collection of things in here is just so cute and fun. Liz the owner is also always there and very personable, she makes shopping a delight. She offers classes in the store too, and while I haven't been to one yet, I'm just dying to go. We were so excited when the store

This might be my favorite shop in New Orleans. The shop gals, the owner Liz, the products and the custom art are all amazing. I feel right at home every time I shop by to pick up some cute new things. Highly recommend this shop if you're looking for a really unique gift for yourself or someone you love. :)

I stopped in looking for the perfect Christmas card. Found it, plus several others. Their cards are creative and feel well made in your hand. Some are cheeky, even slightly off color. But sometimes that fits the intended recipient.
I also looked through their prints and scored a great gift.
The staff are very friendly and helpful (but not hovering!). Here you can buy local, support a small business, and get world class merchandise for a reasonable price.
I'll be back for sure.

Such a cute shop with a super friendly staff!
I was wandering Magazine when I came across this adorable stationary/card/all things paper store. The woman working explained to me that all of the designs are done by the owner and they are all so adorable. If you're looking for a Christmas or birthday card that's a little different or some stationary or thank you cards that have a little kick, than this is the place for you.
Everything is organized beautifully and it's all easy to find. They even have not so fancy necessities like sketch pads and graph paper and things of that nature

On our day off, we decided to go window shopping. This place makes and sell hand-lettered greeting cards and gifts. They even have the machine in store to design the cards. How awesome is that! They had some really interesting hand purse and plush pillows and kids clothes also. Staffs are friendly when we entered. Now that I know about this place, I would recommend friends and family to get all their cards from here.

I chose Nina Thomas Studio for our wedding stationary as I had seen her fabulous work on Instagram. Nina has been amazing from start to finish. Her bespoke design for us was just what we wanted and more!
The whole process was so easy as well
Would highly recommend Nina for all your wedding stationary needs.

I just love Ninas work. Such beautiful colours and designs. Lots of choice and all very classy. The style really is 1st class and really stands out from the crowd of typical wedding stationery. You really do get what you pay for. The texture is pure quality and the packaging is full of finishing touches. Nina always responded to me even if I was messaging with a late night panic , as a bride this service is very reassuring and kept my mind at ease. Ninas work ethic is truly amazing.

I can highly recommend Nina. It has been a pleasure to deal with her from start to finish and I am thrilled with my bespoke invitations. Nina got back to me immediately and my order has been processed very quickly. The invitations arrived exactly when due - beautifully wrapped in tissue paper. I will be using Nina again and will have no hesitation in recommending her company to others. Thank you Nina!
Following on from my invitations, Nina has also helped with my Table Numbers and once again I am thrilled. Nina is very efficient and helpful and keeps in touch all the time, during the ordering

Nina was wonderful right from the beginning. Her communication was excellent, her designs are stunning and her kind nature made the whole experience faultless. I was so in love with our stationary that it became the base of all of our wedding decor. Everything was high quality, stunning and perfect for what we wanted! I can't thank her enough, especially for her patience during all of the approval emails! I never felt like I was waiting for a reply from Nina either, everything was managed in a very timely manner – even when you wouldn’t expect replies! She is a superwoman, somehow balancing

Weddings can be stressful but nothing about this order was! There are so many beautiful designs to choose from and it was so easy to personalise. Any question I had or changes were dealt with so quickly and the delivery of both the sample and end order was really quick!
We absolutely love our invitations, the quality is fantastic and have so many comments from our friends about how lovely they are!

Super cute gift shop/stationery store. Love the variety of items and all her signature script items. Love the examples of custom work she has done, very inspirational/aspirational.
Liz was very helpful and even customized a makeup bag for me. Love it! She also offers classes if you're interested in upping (or y'know creating) some skills.
The shop is small but you might just find the perfect item for yourself or a friend.

I've been following Liz and her little business on social media for quite some time. On my last visit home, I got to check out her cute shop in person. For a small space, she has really made it her own with her fun and sassy style.
First of all, as soon as you walk in, behold that gorgeous wallpaper behind her desk! I bet if you asked, you could get a photo with. I also noticed a fun gold "yay" backdrop off to the side but not sure if that was temporary. Anyways, the mood of the shop is definitely uplifting. She features lots of cool lifestyle items that she personally believes

Super cute shop specializing in funny greeting cards and quirky gifts. You can stock up on ready-made cards or they also do custom hand-lettered invitations, monograms, logos, etc.
If you want to learn calligraphy or hand-lettering, keep an eye out because owner Liz occasionally teaches or hosts workshops.

I could not be happier with my bespoke design invitations from Nina. I've had so many comments on how beautiful & different they are. Nina totally captured the look & feel of what I had in my mind and they really reflect the theme and setting of the Wedding. Nina was such a pleasure to work with and i'll definitely recommend her to all my friends.

Siempre Viva looked no further than Lionheart Prints when we went to make our logo. Her work is creative, unique, professional and exactly what I was looking for. We are so happy with our logo, as it represents who we are. I also love all of her witty greeting cards for all occasions!! Best of luck to you!
