Jute Bags - Marks & Spencer

#Happy Friday!

One of the best parts of my job is receiving samples of products I've designed.  It's always really lovely to see things printed & presented to go in to the stores. I designed a new collection of jute bags for Tigerprint UK/Marks & Spencer last year & they are now available to buy. I really like the wooden buttons:)

They are re usable so eco friendly! They can be used as gift bags but they also make great little lunch bags or shopping bags too!

New Cards - Marks & Spencer

#Happy Monday!:)

Today I thought I'd share with you a couple more card samples that I received from the lovely team at Tigerprint UK which are now available to buy in store at Marks & Spencer.

I'm known for my pattern designs but I also receive a lot of lovely typography briefs & commissions & these particular ones were based around photography & typography. I was given the photos to work with & I had to come up with my own editorial & designs (I was super chuffed that they kept my great friends caption)

My favourite is the bright pink design as it contemporary & has lots of hand drawn imagery on it & some quirky type too.

Hope you like them!:)

Card Samples

Happy Monday everyone, hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I'm back on the blog this week & I have lots of lovely things to share too. It's been very chaotic lately but all good fun too.

Today I'm posting some card samples I recently received from the lovely team at tigerprint.uk. I designed these last year & they are now in store at marksandspencer. I love receiving work samples it's great & it's nice to see the hard work pay off. I'm very lucky to have my work on a variety of products too.

The first card posted is based around surface pattern (which I'm known for creating) but the other cards are purely typographic. I love creating hand drawn type & I now regularly receive typography commissions from a variety of companies too (I'll post further examples of this when I can)

*I was super chuffed that they used the caption I wrote on the friend card, I thought it was very true!

 

I designed the second image (far right) for a Mother's Day card then I was asked to design friend card too both available to buy at Marks & Spencer!
(I LOVE working on typography!)

Surface Pattern - Gift Wrap

Happy Friday everyone! hope you have had a great week:)

Here are just a few quick snapshots of some some gift wrap samples I received from the lovely team at Tigerprint which are now available to buy at Marks & Spencer. I designed the surface pattern for them last year so it's really lovely when you finally get to see it on the finished product.

Hope you like it x

Yummy House Stuff!

I'm OBSESSED with house stuff!!! I just can't get enough of it:) I seem to get more excited lately about buying house things & decorating than I do shopping for clothes. So on Sunday I popped down to my local Marks & Spencer home store to have a nosey at some of the spring collections. I was really wowed by the amount of gorgeous new cushions they had in. Some I thought were slightly more edgy for M&S in particular the quirky monochrome dog cushion thought this was really funky & on trend.

I also loved all of the craft inspired pieces, there was a lovely folk inspired theme running throughout the range also. Along with lots of hand applied styles & finishes; beautiful needlework, applique & innovative large flower shaped cushion attachments. I felt really inspired from my visit! so it's well checking out their new range, I've got my eye on a few pieces for the new studio :)

Too much yummy stuff!

 

Mother's Day!

Happy Friday everyone:)

Mother's day is fast approaching but there's still a good month or so yet so no panicking! I recently received some samples from the talented team at Tigerprint. I designed this typography card last year so it was really lovely to see the finish sample:) The cards are available to buy in store at Marks & Spencer.

Fashion Illustration

I just love FASHION, CLOTHES & anything to do with SHOPPING:) so I love it when I receive design briefs & commissions for this sort of thing. I'm most know for my surface pattern designs but I do love to illustrate & use typography too. Hope you like the design it's now available to buy online at marksandspencerpersonalised.com

Male & Boy Designs

Happy Friday everyone! thanks for following the blog this week:)

Today's little post is about male & boy designs, although I love working on female ranges across fashion & stationery etc I do get briefed & receive a lot of male style commissions. I'm more known for my floral handwriting but I do love a good bit of doodling & hand drawn typography when it comes to my my male styles. Here are a few I created for Tigerprint & Marks & Spencer, UK. To buy any of the below designs or to check out their fab personalised website simply click here. There is a huge range of cards to buy from the super talented team at Tigerprint.
