I have been crafting on and off for over twenty years, trying many different mediums, but have always been drawn back to card making, painting and sewing.

I have been fortunate enough to have more time these days to dedicate to my crafting and to start my business Once Upon A Crafter which offers a mixture of unique handcrafted cards, paper crafted, sewn and painted gifts. I work to a high standard and would never release anything that I would not be happy to receive myself.

My card making is distinctive to me. The cards are created on a good quality 300gsm card base, I don’t work with kits, don’t follow standard layouts, or purchase specialist papers. I work with old books, block coloured paper, brown paper and white card. Backing papers are created from stamping, embossing and inks; images are mainly from hand stamping and colouring with a little digital assistance for sentiments and verses. Because each card has to be created individually even similar designs have their own uniqueness.

The gift side of my business is growing and I have a list of items yet to create, so please keep an eye on my shop.
