Spoonflower - my designs on fabric!

Lots of new, exciting things have been happening with my business recently!  One of my new ventures is opening a Spoonflower shop to sell my designs on fabric, wallpaper and gift wrap.   If you buy any of my designs in the shop they will be digitally printed and sent to you directly from Spoonflower.  The fabric can be bought as swatches, fat quarters or by the yard in a range of different types of fabric.

Before I could list any of my designs to sell I had to order some swatches to check everything looked ok.  Well, the swatches arrived yesterday (it took about 3 weeks for printing and standard delivery to the UK) and they look great!  So you can now buy fabric I have designed to use in your craft projects!

Here are some photos of the swatches I ordered…

This Citrus Fruits pattern was a design I entered into one of Spoonflower’s contests.

Ball Games pattern – lots of balls from different sports on a green background.

Brightly coloured butterflies, including the peacock, ulysses and monarch.

2 different designs featuring budgies – one has rows of blue, green and yellow budgerigars and the other has monochrome birds.

This Nautical, sailing boat themed design coordinates with the chevron pattern.

I have a collection of different designs from my cupcakes and roses themed set – including a pretty rose design, rows of cupcakes and a coordinating spotty pattern in green.  The spotty blue pattern is actually part of the budgie collection, but would go well with the rose design too.

Finally, there are 4 designs in my London Calling themed collection which features my illustrations of British post boxes and phone boxes, London soldiers, Buses and Taxis and a coordinating chevron pattern.

The London bus and taxi design in my shop is actually slightly different to the sample I had printed.  I decided that the buses and taxis looked a bit too close together, so have altered the design so that they are more spaced out.

You could use the fabric in all sorts of sewing projects - I think some of these designs would be great for making into cushion covers or purses.  If you buy any of these fabrics I would love to see what you make!

London Calling and Christmas note card sets

I have two new sets of note cards to share with you today; the first has a ‘London Calling’ theme.  Each card features a different one of my designs including soldiers of the Queen’s Guard, London buses and taxis, post boxes and phone boxes and zig-zag stripes…

The second set of cards has a Christmas theme – it feels too early for Christmas but the shops are starting to get their Christmas stock in now so I thought I should get mine prepared too!

All of these cards are 10x10cm square and come with white envelopes.  Their small size is perfect for writing little notes!
Both of these sets are only available to buy to buy from my Folksy shop!

London Party!

I was just going to use my new London themed illustrations for scrapbooking paper and a collage sheet but thought they'd make a nice, unusual party set too - what do you think?
They'll be available to buy from my Etsy shop either as a full collection (invitation, cupcake toppers, bunting, name place cards, tent cards and straw flags) or individually...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doing the photo shoot for my Rule Britannia set was fun before so I think I'll have a go at a photo shoot for this one too - I might have to hold a un-birthday party so I can try them all out! :)

London Calling!

I loved designing these London papers and have just finished making them today :)

There's a set of 8 scrapbooking papers (12x12 inch) featuring my illustrations of famous London landmarks, the Queen's guard, Beefeaters, black taxis, red buses, phone boxes, post boxes, pigeons, umbrellas and a few simpler patterns to mix and match with the more detailed ones.

It was quite tricky working out how to put all the landmarks together - Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Big Ben, the London Eye as well as a few others.  I decided to put them together as a sort of collaged skyline.

The skyline also appears in this coordinating collage sheet...

I think these printables would be great for London themed scrapbook pages!

The papers and collage sheet are available to buy from my Etsy shop: www.hfcSupplies.etsy.com

London sketchbook

My new London themed printables are almost finished now - I thought I'd share a peak at my sketchbook with you before the finished designs are ready to post...

Treasury: London Today

Did you see the Royal Wedding yesterday?  I thought Kate's dress was beautiful and they looked so happy together.  It's nice to have something positive in the news that so many people can share in! :)

This treasury on Etsy has a London/ Royal Wedding theme - created by moonmommas you can see it in full here, (it includes my Rule Britannia collage sheet).
