Ioana’s BDay Card

DSC_1716tIyLSq
We met for the first time towards the end of March 2008. She came for an interview and then got the job. We worked for a couple of years together. And went through ups and downs together again. It was fun, challenging and inspiring. And here we are, December 2013, still friends, enjoying our chats and time we spend together. We love coffee and nice things. She has 3 wonderful kids. And she’s a great mum for them. She’s got a lot of optimism and she manages to always find the strength to encourage others too. I admire her for this!

When I drew the sketch of card, I thought of something simple, but elegant and here’s what came out. I hope you like it as much as she did!

Christmas Cards

December 2006, the first handmade cards were made. And then, year after year, some more.

December 2006.I still remember those days, when I was sitting by the fire and enjoying the Christmas with my dear ones, in the mountains, at my grandma’s house. All the family together, celebrating Christmas. Unique, cheerful, awesome moments.Sweet memories that fill my heart with joy, love and loss.

Mushroomica’s Birthday Card

final project Mushroomica?s 2013
Every card I make has a story – the story of the one I make it for.

We’ve started calling her Ms. Mushroom, when a German friend of ours thought it’d be easier to recall her. Later on, the name got modified and turned into something nicer: Mushroomica.

So, what else could she get on her birthday if not a card with a lovely mushroom on it?!

The Bike

The story of this handmade card is pretty simple. And had a great effect on the beneficiary: my godson.

He loves bikes, cycling and travels at least 5 kms (in average) per day. The bike is one of his favourite means of commuting and there’s where the card idea came from.

Once I had the buttons, it took me about 30 minutes to have it all done, written and ready to be delivered.

Hope you’ll enjoy it too!

August. Maria. Candies. Delicate.

A special card for a special person. Like all the people that stay there, in my heart. She gave me the helping hand I needed, in a time when things went crazy. I’ll never be able to thank her enough. And I’ll always be grateful.

 

Maria is delicate. And not in the sense of fragile. She likes pretty things, she enjoys baking, making cakes and candies and the ones I love the most: macarons.

So, light blue, white and daffodils made my choice for her card somehow easier. Hope you’ll all enjoy it.
