“Hand-made greetings cards of distinction”

Hand made greetings cards of distinction.
Designs for all occasions, and personalising sentiments stock available on the day should you wish to add that little bit extra e.g. “Uncle”, “Grandma”, or age/anniversary number. I am happy to take commissions for items personalised for you.
I work from home on the design, cutting, embossing, colouring and assembling of my cards. Materials used are varied in type and texture, including little handmade bamboo knitting needles and yes, knitting, on the baby cards, and sometimes I dip into our family owned collection of photographs to use as a focal point (owls are very popular). Some cards have verses inside, if so they are repeated in the back of the clear packaging bag, others intentionally have no text inside so you may add your own message. I also have a file of wording examples as hand-outs which some customers prefer to hand write into a blank card. I make some of the envelopes myself so each card can be appropriate for the design, rather than being controlled by commercially available envelope size.
Much of my work is personalised cards to repeat customers, lovely people who take the time to discuss and plan with me to achieve that perfect greeting for the major events in life - celebrating birth, christening, graduation, driving test, engagement, marriage, anniversaries, big 0 birthdays, retirement, thank you, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Christmas, or just because cards to brighten the day of a friend.
I have great enjoyment in creating each piece (losing many hours being so absorbed in the work in hand), and I feel that this shows in the quality of my finished products, each of which is unique.
