I added a whole lot of Christmas designs, including cartoon portrait Christmas cards, to my Etsy shop a while back, but have been holding back before sharing them with you on here.

I’ve recently added some children’s birthday cards to my range on Etsy. At the moment I have four different designs each for 1st birthday, 2nd birthday and 3rd birthday but if you need another age before I have them in my shop please get in touch and I’ll happily design one for you.

I’ve been having fun with stick figure couples! A couple of weeks ago I added listings to my Etsy store for custom Valentine’s Day cards with personalised stick figure drawings.
