'thank you mum' paper cut mothers day card...

this is my first of a handful of cards i am designing for mothers day this year.

thankfully this is a fun task for me, as i happen to think my mum is awesome.

mums do so much for us, just to keep us alive, let alone to make us feel happy and safe, and eventually to keep us on the straight and narrow!

we should all show our thanks somehow...

'mum, thank you for looking after me'

yours for £8

when i look at the stars...

this is the first of a collection i am going to be making to go up for sale on etsy. it will mainly consist of things in my head that i try not to bring up in conversation.

this one describes the realisation i get when i look up at the stars (or watch Brain Cox), that in the grand scheme of things, we are all tiny, and whatever worries i may have, are so small, so worrying about them is pointless.

'when i look at the stars, i realise how small my problems are'

the best way to share a private joke...

this piece was a commission for a birthday gift, and is another private joke... translate it as you wish.

it is an A5 cut out on black paper... 'but where are my claws?'

paper cut valentine card for the fiancee...

hello,

this was another valentines card which i couldn't show you straight away...

it was for a lovely lady whose fiance wanted to honour their last valentines day before their wedding..

'this time your my fiancee,
next time you'll be my wife.
i know for each time after that,
you're my valentine for life.'

that's nice isn't it.

handmade paper cut valentine cards...

here are a couple of valentine cards i CAN show you...

this one is still available if you like it... (£3)

this one was commissioned by a boyfriend who wanted something silly for his McGorgeous girlfriend...

business card and etsy banner design...

i have recently designed a business card and etsy banner for a lovely lady who makes excitingly colourful textiles...

here is the cutout i made to create the design...

i then had a play on PhotoShop to make it a bit more business-cardy...

and made an etsy banner to match...

happy sunny monday everybody!

when its not this sunny, and i can't hear the birds singing to me, i often need a reminder as to why i should get out of bed, a pick me up, a kick in the right direction...

along with "it's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder" from Hey Jude, this is my favourite (and the most successful)...
