Sweet Tooth

Becky has had a busy day designing and making some new card designs for the Craft Fair! Moving away from white card and thinking about different colours and textures! Nice to see Ralph the Reindeer making an appearance! And of corse the Katy Perry inspired Candy Cains!!

Happy Chanukah!

Prestwich and it's surrounding areas are home to one if the largest Jewish communities in Britain. To make the most out of our time at the Craft Fair we thought it essential to take this into account. Therefore we have decided to not only sell Christmas Cards but Chanukah Cards too as many of our customers may not celebrate Christmas!

We spoke to our Jewish friend who advised us on what sorts of styles our cards could have. Here are a few card experiments we have designed going along the theme of the star of David

Business Cards

Busy Morning Designing Business Cards....

To get ready for the fair we have decided to make some business cards which we can give out on the day! Brown bags are on order which we can personalise with our logo. When a card is purchased customers will get a bag and a business card. Again a way of getting our names out there!

Last time we made business cards was for our degree show in July this year, we printed them ourselves and cut them by hand, however we found it more trouble than it was worth! Especially when we had the added stresses of finishing our pieces for the show! So this time we have decided to lead by example... We have sent our designs to Vista Print!

Hand made and Vintage Winter Market

Our Christmas Cards have received a brilliant reception from everyone who has supported us, so... we have decided to see how successful they'd be at a craft fair! It would be a great opportunity for us to get our names out there and also to mix with other 'crafty' people.

Today we researched and found the local craft fairs which best suited our designs. We came across many which sounded brilliant and sent out emails in hope that there would still be places left considering the short notice.

Unfortunately many were fully booked but we were lucky enough to find a cancelation at the Hand Made and Vintage Winter Market! It was the one which we were hoping for the most, looking at the poster and the hand drawn map it really suits our style and we have many plans already for how we will decorate the table to fit this old English theme! 

Take a look at the blog and website to find out more about the event... But thats all from me and Becky, we have some serious card making to be doing!!!

Hand Made Rodo Christmas Cards!

Sorry not posted in a while! We have been busy designing and making Christmas cards!  They've taken lots of time and effort but we are so pleased with what we have created and so are our customers!

We have produced nine different designs, one set of cards has a more traditional feel for those people who like to stay within the boundaries of Christmas! Our other pack has a humorous take on Christmas with illustrated characters including Ralph the Reindeer and Trevor the Turkey!

We hope you like what we have made :) Merry Christmas!
