Mother's Day Cards on Etsy

Somehow we're already nineteen days into the second month of the year. And with a few sunny days you can't help but think of Spring. I'm looking forward to daffodils and birthday season, celebrating some of my favourite people, and I'm thinking I'm ready for a haircut, less jumpers and wearing something over than boots!

With Spring my thoughts turn also to Mother's Day, and I've got some cards up in my Etsy shop now. Tell your mum you love her, treat her to some sentiment and some words of thanks. You could do it with a special, entirely handmade, card! All my cards are designed by me and made with care and a pair of scissors. I might be biased but I think they're something a little different, unique and special.

I tell my Mum I love her all the time but I'll happily take a day to say it a little louder and treat her. And I'll definitely put it down in writing.

I hope you're having a good week and the sun is shining for you, even if its a little bit of sunshine you've had to make yourself.

#MakeForMum

On Wednesday 7th March I will be taking part in a #MakeforMum event. This is an event organised by Child Bereavement UK to celebrate and remember mums everywhere, or for mums to remember their children on Mothering Sunday.

#MakeforMum aims to raise money and awareness to help even more families rebuild their lives after bereavement. If you're interested in getting involved, you can visit their website here or for more information on the charity as a whole. The same for their Facebook page.

To spread the word you can share your pictures on Mother's Day using the #MakeforMum hashtag, or text MUMS02 £10 to 70070 to donate. (£10 is used here as an example, you can insert any amount you choose)

If you are local, pop into the Clare Charity Centre for cakes, candles, jewellery, hand sewn gifts and cards! There's more posted about this event on my Facebook page 

Have a lovely sunny (cross fingers) afternoon!

Spring

Last weekend felt a little bit like Spring. There was a chill in the air but the sun was out. I was ready for the grey January and February skies to be replaced by blue, and for the great outside to take on some of the colours I've been using in my cards for the last couple of months.

Because my mind has been on Mother's Day and Easter and that's prime time of year for bright pastels!

The world has caught up - daffodils are starting to emerge and bright purple crocuses are out in force.

It is about this time of year that I start thinking of Mother's Day. I consider what card I am going to make for my mum and how we can treat her to say thank you. I'm hoping for another refreshing Spring day so we can spend time together in the sun.

I've listed a few Mother's Day cards on my Etsy shop. They're all blank for a special, personal message. I can also do custom designs if there's something you like but would prefer some personalisation.

Have a really lovely weekend!

Happy Mother's Day

Today I will thank my mum for all that shes does as I have tried to do every year for as long as I can remember. She's never been the biggest fan of breakfast in bed so a card is one of the ways I've always aimed to do that!

This family of bunnies was created as a custom order. The lovely lady that ordered it saw my elephant card and asked me to create another version of it. I made the bunnies, in a similar style to my Easter greetings cards, and after sending over my work in progress pictures, a few modifications were made and the result was a personalised greetings card we were both happy with! I really love the yellow of the daisies with that bright pastel pink. I am using this colour combination in a lot of my designs at the moment.

Thank you to all the Mums, Grandmas and Great Grannys out there. Thank you to every important lady or mother figure there is -You're pretty excellent!

Happy Mother's Day!

Katie

p.s. In order to create a greetings card my customer is happy with I tend to send pictures of my designs in progress via email or Facebook.

No Limits

For those mums that we love with no limit. For those mums who urge us to stand tall and are right there beside us. 

These giraffes are some of my favourites to make. People seem to really like them so I enjoy altering the design to fit different occasions. Have you ever watched a baby giraffe with its mum? Its really nice to see so I liked putting my own spin on these beautiful creatures. 

Happy Saturday!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is on the 26th March and with it comes the opportunity to spread some love and say a great big thank you for everything that these forces of nature do in our lives.

I don't believe that we should save our thanks for one day every year, but I'll definitely be taking the opportunity to celebrate my mum. She's my rock. 

Have a lovely weekend!

Mother's Day

Another year and it is almost time to celebrate the mothers of the world again. Mother’s Day is this weekend on the 6^th March.

On Sunday I’ll actually be spending the day with my mum, my grandmother and my auntie will be there too. A whole host of ladies to be thankful for!

They did a lot for us and they still do, so whether it is through a present, a card or a hug, it is about time we show our appreciation!

I hope you’re having a good week.
