Handmade card ideas
and inspiration

A thoughtful stationery set has a lovely way of turning everyday notes, lists and letters into something that feels personal. A fresh notebook can make planning feel calmer. A beautiful bookmark can make a reading habit feel more special. A matching card and gift tag can turn a present into a keepsake before it is even opened. That is the idea behind our new collection of stationery gift sets, created for people who love paper goods with charm, detail and a little sense of o

Christmas has a habit of arriving faster than expected. One minute it is all “we have plenty of time”, and the next, the cards need writing, the stamps have vanished, and someone has just remembered the wrapping paper.

In my blog post from 22nd July, I shared some sneak peeks of my Christmas in July makes.

I had been playing with Copilot a while ago where I asked it to adapt a photo of my dog, Barney. I loved the image it came up with and then last week I elaborated on it and ended up going down a rabbit hole where I started making notebooks and notepads. Before I knew it I then gave it a photo of my (now departed) cat, Mabel, and, well, a whole new range of products were created! Here is the photo that started it all and the image that Copilot came up with.

So this week I have added some new items to my shop, those being some notebooks, notepads, birthday cards and a keyring in a new colour. The Notebooks First up are the notebooks, handmade from start to finish. I created the covers from my PaperArtsy stamps designed by Alison Bomber, beautiful rose and hydrangea images which I stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with watercolours. There will be a full YouTube demo video for these up in the near future.
