Handmade Things

Since finishing uni in May I have decided to start my own little ‘business’ making greeting cards, books and invitations for friends and family.

My first order was for a friend who wanted a guestbook for her 21st birthday party.  The theme was festivals so I downloaded a free brush for photoshop of a crowd and used it at the bottom of the topper.

This is my way of packaging all handmade things for my customers, it includes ribbon and a bow that says handmade, a small hand with handmade engraved and one of my business cards.

A couple of weeks ago my dad told me that for his wedding anniversary, he and my mum bought each other a ring, it didn’t come in a box which was strange so I decided to make them a box each to give to each other. Sweet ay!2013-07-01 15.22.46
