I started my crafting adventures many moons ago making hand-made greetings cards. This started out as a hobby but soon became quite expensive as I found I could easily spend a fortune in craft shops, so I decided to try & sell a few cards to work colleagues. This was very successful & I started to make cards to order for special occasions, & then started selling at local craft fairs. There I found people were interested in more information about my products, so I decided to set up this website to reach a wider audience.
I am passionate about recycling / upcycling & love to use things others would call ‘junk’, such as the patterned papers from the inside of junkmail envelopes, coloured plastic bottles, old game boards, playing cards, & floppy disks.
My cards are fairly modern & I prefer crisp, clean designs. I don’t do quilling, parchment craft, or flowery 3D-decoupage.
I only use high-quality card blanks. All my cards are blank inside (unless otherwise specified), and are packaged with the envelope in a protective cellophane bag.
I don’t have an on-line shop (yet), but if you have a particular design in mind e.g. for wedding invitations or other special occasions, contact me at the address below & I will see what I can do.
My other passion is making notebooks. I started off making spiral-bound notebooks, I then took a couple of bookbinding courses & was hooked. I now love to make books out of old game boards, lego, old playing cards & my all-time favourite – floppy disks.
I also make jewellery from recycled materials, especially earrings from plastic bottles.
I do also have occasional stalls at local Edinburgh craft fairs. Please see ‘events’ section for forthcoming dates.
