I'm hoping that this is just the beginning for my little Etsy shop and that there will be lots more to come in the future. Look out people, Emily's empire will be expanding ;) Hehe....



There are 2 styles to choose from: a gold print & green foiled star or a red print with a gold foiled star and both come as either individual cards or packs of 5! Please read the listing properly before committing to buy!

I'd like to put a big shout out to everyone who's liked, shared and supported me thus far! It's always so humbling and exciting to see friends (and strangers) sharing your work. So BIG love to everyone!

Christmassy Creativeness: SNEEK PEEK!



So in the run up to Christmas I've been planning some Christmas creativeness and here's a sneek peek of what you can expect! The design is currently being fine tuned ready for production but exciting things are happening! And they'll be here soon!

I've also just finished cutting, creasing and enveloping cards ready for printing so by the end of the week there will be a finished hand-made festive fancy to purchase for you and your family!

I've been meaning to get back into making things for a long time now and slowly things are taking shape, fingers crossed the launch of my new card designs will inspire me to keep creating more and more and more in the evenings to share with everyone!

Practice Makes Perfect: Calligraphy / Hand Lettering

Once again, it's been a little while since I've last updated my blog! Since beginning my job at a great little design company in Leicestershire, I have a whole new respect and understanding for all those 9 to 5 (or longer) workers out there! I feel your pain! I know your tiredness and it's taken me a little while to get into the swing of things.

In any case I'm not complaining - I realise how lucky I am for going straight into a job after finishing university and it's already provided me with so much more insight and knowledge in the world of graphic design.

In my spare time, I've taken to practicing my illustration skills in the form of typography and calligraphy! I even took a small morning course to get to grips with the correct way to write calligraphy this weekend, which was great fun! Now I've just got to stay in practice!

It shouldn't be hard - I absolutely LOVE it!
