About The ArtistÂ
An entrepreneur, designer, illustrator and an unshakable optimist dedicated to making the world more
playful and happy!
Hello, adventurous souls! I'm a small-town girl from Sweden who dared to dream big and chase the unknown. My curious nature and unquenchable thirst for discovery have led me on a wonderful journey around the world - and now, after 18 enriching years of traveling, I've returned home. I didn't come back empty-handed though! My travels have enriched me with a wealth of creative inspiration and a multicultural perspective that I pour into my work as a Freelance Illustrator and Graphic Designer.
I've had the pleasure of working with world-renowned Toy and Health food companies over the last 14 years, which has allowed me to combine my professional expertise with my love of fun and play. But the adventure doesn't stop there! I'm now ready to unfold a new chapter - a dream I've been carrying in my heart and am finally bringing to life: Paper Origami Fortune Teller pop-up cards!
​
My Paper Origami Fortune Tellers are not just unique pop up cards and a fun present; they're my way of spreading joy, laughter, and a little bit of magic to everyone. Each Paper fortune teller is crafted with love, laughter, and a touch of my personal whimsy, ensuring that every unboxing unfolds a unique story. Join me on this wonderful journey, and let's spread happiness together, one origami paper fortune teller at a time!
Handmade with Love - A Playful Approach to Sustainability
At Playful Happiness, we create consciously crafted products with our planet in mind. We take pride in printing all our products professionally on 100% recycled or FSC-certified cardboard paper. By choosing products with FSC labels, you are not only selecting something unique and enjoyable but also actively contributing to the well-being of the world's forests.
​
To enhance the quality and durability of our Origami Paper Fortune Tellers (EU Registered Design since 2011), we apply a soft-touch matte laminate to the printed side. This not only protects the print but also gives the paper fortune teller a luxurious feel and makes it durable. Each paper fortune teller undergoes a meticulous process of pre-creasing, die-cutting, and carefully folding by hand. In our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, we ship all our paper fortune teller flat-packed from Sweden. This innovative approach significantly reduces our carbon footprint.
​
All our products are hand-drawn, digitally painted and folded by hand by me, Malin Granfors, the owner of Playful Happiness Ltd. Some of our products are printed in Sweden, others in the Netherlands.
I sincerely hope you will derive as much joy from my origami paper fortune teller and our other products as I do while crafting them. Let's spread smiles and laughter to you and your loved ones!
May your day be filled with playfulness and your life with happiness.

Yours truly,
Malin Granfors
