Happy Birthday future Mother in Law!

This month saw the birthday of my fiance's Mum and so I had two cards to make - one from us and one for my Parents to send up. Now, Cathy is a wizz in the kitchen and makes her own jams, chutneys and tablet. (Incase you don't know what that is, it is a bit like fudge. It is delicious! Find out more here.)

The first picture is the card my parents ordered. I put a mason jar topper on to represent Cathy's love of jam. The second picture is the card from my fiance and I. It is a long-standing joke!

I love when I can make really personal cards for people - it is really satisfying.

Christening card order

Someone on Facebook was asking if anyone knew someone who would make a personalised card for her Godsons Christening and my friend very kindly put my name forward. We sent messages back and forth discussing what she would like and how much I sell for and when the card was ready she offered to come and collect it. Usually I make cards for people I know or make generic cards to sell at fairs so this was novel making a card for a customer I'd never met!

 

I kept the design simple using blues for a boy. I added a small cross brad to show the significance of the occasion without being too religious. 

I've also come to the realisation I don't have enough blue craft supplies so have the perfect excuse to go shopping! :)
