It's beginning to look a lot like pudmas

I have some new designs in Sainsbury's this Christmas... some happy little puddings!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas now int it!

I shared one of these designs in the summer when I created them, but I thought it would be better to share the rest when everyone is in Christmas mode!

I'm rather ashamed of my lack of blog posts the last few months.. it's been a bit of a mental year indeed.. So here's to a happy Christmas, a slightly calmer 2014 and more stuff on my blog. Hooray!

Christmas...

At work I joined in the £1 secret Santa and so I set myself the challenge of decorating a box that would make chocolate coins as magical as possible! I was hoping for it to look like something one of the three kings might bring!

Santa's coming...

I was delighted to see a sample of my card I did artwork for long ago at Hallmark (seems like long ago anyway...) for Waitrose. It was one of my first designs I did when I started freelancing for Hallmark and I'm quite fond of it because the card itself is very much just like the original artwork - I combined line drawing and paper cutting on one piece of paper. It is on nice uncoated board with embossed design. A different designer added the page 3 so it was a nice surprise to find my illustration on the inside too. Time to put on your snazziest christmas jumper and get yourself to your local Waitrose now!

Twelve Days...

Hooray! A box of Christmas cards I worked on for Hallmark have hit the shop floors of Tesco. They are Tesco Finest charity cards, contributing to Cancer Research UK. I just drew the pictures for this and another designer formatted them, added text etc. It can be nice to work like this sometimes because it's always a nice surprise to see someone else's spin on my illustrations.
