Congratulations to Morgan, who recently commented on one of my videos and won herself a personalised printable notepaper set with a matching envelope. These are now hers to print out as many times as she likes, and send to her friends and family. This design was drawn by hand with black pen on paper, and then digitally coloured. I also made this into a drawing video, which includes some photos of our little garden, the inspiration for the flower design. You can see the video below. If you would like to see more of my printables, visit my shop.

Watch me design Morgan's prize in this video. There are also a few photos of my garden as well. Don't forget to comment, thumbs up, share and subscribe...every little bit helps!
Emails are nice and all, but don't you just love to get something in the snail mail once in a while? I don't mean the sort of mail that starts with 'You owe us...', but one that is sealed in a fancy envelope, with beautiful handwriting on the front, addressed with your actual name, not just 'To the householder'.
You open the envelope carefully, slide out a card with a happy image on the front which makes you smile, open it up, and read a message from someone you know.
Even though I am addicted to checking my email like most people, I still always find myself attracted to the card stand at the stationary shop, especially those sparkly ones with glitter on them, they are my favourite.
I love stationary in general and everything that goes with it...notebooks, writing paper, cards, envelopes...I remember receiving gifts of writing paper sets with matching envelopes, and never using them because they were just too beautiful to write on...did you do that too?
I have designed quite a few stationary related items which are available as printables in my shop. One day I would like to offer them as physical items already printed and made for customers, but for now printables are more practical for me, living all the way down here in New Zealand it is a bit pricy for postage charges. Printables are great, because people can print it out on the paper that they prefer, and can usethe design as many times as they like, and you don't have to pay for postage! If you are anything like me, you perhaps wait till the last minute as you are ready to walk out the door to go and visit someone, that you wanted to give them a thank you card. Perhaps it is a holiday and all the shops are closed...not to worry, just print off a card, fold, glue, write, seal, and Bob's your uncle!
Making the 'Three Little Trees' printable card is a pretty simple process, but I thought it would be fun to make a little video showing how to make it, and what it looks like at the end. I also included a very teeny tiny surprise...make sure you watch the whole thing to see it!
