The theme for my dad's birthday card this year was fish, as my parents recently got some rose minnows for their pond.

I made some bunting for a friend's baby. I love this line-up of shades.

I completed a family tree papercut commission which was a perfect gift to a father of a loving family.

Check out the timelapse film…

I've been practicing my calligraphy every time I sell something online.

I hope it's a nice surprise for people when they receive something with a bit of extra care gone into it.

I hadn't considered doing a layered landscape papercut before. I'm pleased with how it turned out, and it was fun to do!

My friend Claire loves nature so I made her a birthday card with the theme of the great outdoors.

This year my dad gets my 'Fab Dad' papercut card.

I also made some raw chocolate-fruit-nut balls. He loved them.

Doing my first ever race, Run Norwich 10k, I decided to make my own training plan.

I designed it to fit in my filofax, and fold in half so that I could still access my diary easily. It worked a treat!

I was asked to make a paper cut for a friend to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.

The colour scheme of their wedding was red and white. I was shown their amazing wedding cake for inspiration:

I made a quick sketch with their specific words, dates and initials. They loved it straight away, and suggested to include more song lyrics.

I drew it up at full size and cut it out:

I mounted it on red with foam sticky tabs behind the cut so that it raised it from the backing slightly:

A new birthday card design which is fun to cut out:
