I've designed a new Mother's Day card to share with everyone. It is heavily influenced by Jane Austen and the Regency period of history. I have used free images from E K Duncan and Agence Eureka. It is quite simple to make. Print out image onto A4 cardboard. Cut out all the pieces and make the sofa using the picture as guide. Pose the girl by manipulating the paper into shape - see photo of finished piece. Add a small picture of a book if you wish (not included as subject to copyright). Enjoy, Have a happy Mother's Day!

Hi Everyone,

I have been a bit too unwell to post things for a year. As it is Easter again I thought I should share my Easter designs for this year. Just like last year I’m living on very limited funds and am able to give family and friends only one Easter egg – so I have to make them very special.

The first design is a bird fridge magnet in a cake patty.
I bought some bird post it notes from Typo and decorated them with silver glitter. Then I glued them onto cardboard and cut them out, then I added a small magnet to the back. I glued two cupcake pattys together and shredded some old books. Put it all together and no one knows it cost you next to nothing!

The second design is of a small teacup with a bunny rabbit on the side.
The rabbit is from The graphics fairy at

The teacup is from the Kirin afternoon tea set at

Print out and make the tea cup, then create a word document and size the rabbit to peer into the cup and then copy the rabbit and flip the image to create a mirror image.
I’ve already designed next year’s Easter treat but I haven’t made the prototype yet.

Have a Happy Easter!
