Handcrafting Happiness :)

I absolutely adore art and craft and colour! I specialised in Fine Art at university with an emphasis on textiles and sculpture. Now that I am a primary school teacher, unfortunately I do not have as much time I would like to create art but the time I do have I make my own handmade cards. I can't remember how I got into it but I love it and I am still ( 2 or more years later) in the process of setting up my website and online shop. Everyone keeps telling me I should promote my card designs more which I now feel more confident in doing. So watch this space :P

Recently I made a few cards and have been experimenting with new designs for a small collection. Earlier this week, my sister requested that I made her a card for a friend's engagement so off I went to Hobbycraft and John Lewis to pick up some stock. Whilst I was in the process of making her card, I had a cute idea for a card for my friend who has recently had a baby boy.

For requested cards, I don't sit down and sketch and plan. I just get out the materials needed and work it out as I go along. However for collection based cards, I do plan and jot down ideas.

Below are two of my designs for cards. I love them and they always inspire me to create more beautiful cards.

Love & Blessings,
