I know, I know, it’s too soon for most people! But if I want to get the handmade Christmas cards and labels done to sell, I’d better get going.

Yes, I definitely needed tea and biscuit-based sustenance to get the Christmas spirit flowing. These ideas are still simplistic and need work, but I thought I’d share my progress.

I’m in the process of setting up a shop tab on the blog, so you’ll be able to purchase things that tickle your fancy! But for now I thought I’d share some of my ideas as I start to plan the lino cuts I’ll do for the Christmas cards, tags, labels, books and papers that’ll be in the shop for Christmas 2014.

Let me know if there’s anything you’d actually like to see here, as I can get it made and sold in the shop specially for you! Some of these designs were influenced by a Christmas designs book that was giving me food for thought.

So, I’m ready and raring. Honestly, any suggestions welcome! Here’s last year’s favourite, the Scandi reindeer:

As well as the dragonfly logos. Some of these are already ready for printing! Thanks for reading, it means a lot to me. Also, get in touch if you want to pre-order any cards or labels, and I can get started for you xxx
