Mum's birthday 2015

Mum's surprise birthday treat was a trip to Coronation Street. Using the cobbles as inspiration, I made her card based on this pattern: 

I also wanted to make a necklace based on a design we had seen in a high street store. 

I'm really pleased with how it turned out!

Earring for my bestie

I made earrings for my best friend. She loves them. Still practicing fake calligraphy on envelopes. 

10k run fundraising for Anthony Nolan

I signed up to be a stem cell donor for Anthony Nolan. 

It costs them £100 to register a new donor. So I made an effort to get a little of that back for them by doing a bake sale at work and doing Run Norwich 10k. I raised £37, which is some way towards recovering their costs. I'm not finished yet though…!

Babushka doll Paper Cut

I designed and cut a Babushka doll to congratulate a friend on her pregnancy.   

Fish Card

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

Arlo Baby Bunting

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

Family Tree of Love

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

Check out the timelapse film…

Calligraphy practice

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. 

Sunset papercut

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

Happy Birthday Claire

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