Often, I list items and people buy them without even asking about anything even though it is customisable card. They just email me with the names they want on the cards and after I send a proof back, that is it. They are happy and so am I.
But other times, people contact me explaining they like a card but would like this and this changed or ask if it is possible and then we start on a long back and forth conversation with trials and errors.
So I have decided to show you what one of the items in my shop ends up looking like.
Dealing with two languages is a challenge for anybody. And making road signs in two languages is no different. I have a thing for bilingual signs (road signs, shop signs, etc). They clearly send the message to people that languages are important. However, they are not usually great examples of typography. They tend to be pretty boring.

Forgive me if this is old news to you, but I have recently discovered paper straws. And I love them! I bought some really lovely ones for a picnic recently. They weren't as bright as I had hoped but great nonetheless.

For the bike fans out there, here is one of my latest creations. Very simple, modern and eco-friendly Save the Date postcards. These were created for a couple who knew what they wanted from the beginning (down to the fonts). We just played with the layouts slightly.
I have been very busy over the past few weeks with custom wedding orders. I thought I'd share with you what I have been up to.
I created some thank you cards for a Turkish/Brazilian couple who recently got married. They originally liked my standard multilingual thank you cards but wanted something a little more personalised.
A while back a lovely Emily from Etsy Germany emailed me to ask me if I had more wedding products in the pipeline. At the time, I only had one Save the Date card listed.
I knew wedding season was approaching and it was a top priority on my to-do list. So I replied I was working on it.
