One of the best gifts this year in my house was the baby footprint mugs and baubles we managed to keep a secret from my mum and dad. Even more of a challenge was getting my little nephew distracted e...
So much has to stay a secret on the run-up to Christmas that I was gutted I couldn’t share my handmade finds. Until now! I really made an effort this year to only buy from independents. And I&#...
From me to you. Merry Christmas xxx
I’m not gonna lie. I’ve had a busy month. You can probably tell from the sporadic posts and general lack of JYC activity. Well now I’m at home, I’ve got my out-of-office switc...
Our last sketch! Hope you’ve enjoyed these and used them to whip through your own Christmas cards this year. We’ll finish with a very merry greeting – tilting your paper slightly as...
I still have cards to make, I don’t know about you! So here are two cards with a similar theme – one landscape, one vertical. It’s fun to flip, elongate or interpret sketches in any...
So I’ve been pretty slack this year at sharing. Truth is I’ve been enjoying the process and trying to take the pressure off myself to keep completely up-to-date. I’ve not worried to...
A simple Happy Christmas. It’s fun to split your greeting up sometimes with horizontal lines. Create balance with a cute festive motif on the opposite side.
So day 8′s late. No matter. We’ll just do these as and when, yeah? Or my head may explode! Today is all about the ‘Ho ho ho’. This card was one of a set I made for Papercraft ...
One of the many perks of being on the Mollie Makes team is the shows. They’re often hard work – lots of meeting and greeting, selling and promoting (and my God, did I wish I wore flats!) ...
Give me warmth in my heart, keep me crafting.
Peace and love to you, garlands, tree sequins and embossing powders…
I love a good stag. This one’s from a River Island tag – there’s so many lovely throw-away things you can recycle these days.
Today it’s Candy Lane, with a pastel stripe and a vintage-look Santa. Isn’t he sweet? (Note: I’m not going to apologise for my wonky machine sewing. I like wonky, it shows it’...
Today’s greeting is Happy Winter. Here’s your inspiration and sketch. I couldn’t resist these American Crafts gingerbread stamps.
Day 2, a simple Merry Christmas with a recycled tag. Play with this sketch to your hearts content – I’d love to see what you make of it.
…is Center Parcs. I just love it there. The fresh air, the long walks, the pool, the spa, the villas, the trees, the healthy living and the company. I was there last weekend (Longleat, though a...
As well as my Journal Your Christmas album, I’m going to be sharing a Christmas card design and sketch every day for the next 12 days. 12 Days of Cards if you will. ‘Cause it’s a fe...
And then it was December, fondly known in my head as Shimelle Month. I’ve made a head start on this album and plan to write each day. I’m not going to stress too much about photos this ye...
Someone really inspired me recently by jumping about three rungs of the career ladder in one go with sheer passion and dedication. And that’s worth making a card for. Also, it’s their bir...
This year I’m all about the handmade. Every Christmas present I buy shall be either handmade by an independent crafter or locally sourced – ie a local cheese or cider or something similar...
This card alone makes me want to choose ‘Simplicity’ as my One Little Word for 2012. This is my favourite design for some time, for my friend’s milestone. I really do want to pare e...
…A new necklace from my best friend. A crocheted blanket left to me by my gran.
Hurray! Journal Your Christmas time is here again. And I will not be caught out this time. No, no, dear friends. I shall be prepared. I’ve even built myself a little kit. Always a sucker for a ...
I’ve been absent. Since starting that new job of mine, I’ve been a little blogged out. Mollie’s getting all the love right now! If you want to hear from me daily, the Mollie Makes s...
Last night at Bristol’s Severn Shed was one of those slightly overwhelming evenings where you’re surrounded by people you love, good food, lots of laughter and a warm fuzzy feeling. I had...
I was asked by a very lovely client to make a 30th celebration book for her best friend. It turned into quite a beast! I spent most of September making this which is why I may have been a little quie...
I’ve been able to spend a lot of time in my childhood home recently. It’s always been a sanctuary to me, and it’s that way for friends of mine too. I feel incredibly blessed that th...
What fun. My brief for each: Girl’s 18th; arty female birthday; woman’s 50th and a generic female birthday card. Time for some stash-busting. Still loving this Kelly Purkey butterfly pape...
It’s been celebratory all round. My latest card designs, quick and simple so that I actually make them (I am so anti shop-bought cards. I just cannot bring myself to buy them knowing I have th...
