Handmade Christmas Fair 2015

Over the weekend of the 20th November, I attended the Handmade Christmas Fair in Manchester! I was working on the Craft Asylum stand, hosting workshops all weekend and teaching people how to make this cute Winter Bear gift box using the Sizzix machines, Winter Wonderland dies and the Candy papers..

It was lovely to see people using the dies and papers I had designed! Although, we worked through the project together, everyone added their own personal touch and hearing the comments from the public was just so rewarding. I love to hear what people think!

We also spent Thursday (and Thursday night) building our stand and creating a fantastic Winter Wonderland! We wanted to make everyone that stepped into our stand to feel festive and happy to be there.. I think we did a great job in the end with our garland, decorated using the dies from the Winter Wonderland collection in a variety of different ways...

Baby Animals

I have recently been working on some cute Baby Animal designs for Sizzix dies. These will be exclusive  Hobbycraft and include a really nice set to help create a hand-made card for a new baby/christening or ideas for children birthdays or invites.

I have included a photo below of the die set made up with gorgeous pastel colours and embellishments..
I have posted about these on my other social media networks such as;

Love Birds by Emily Atherton

After working with the Sizzix brand for over a year and a half, it makes me really happy to announce that my first collection is available now. This collection, 'Love Birds', is something I have been working on using my hand-illustrations and transforming them into shapes and design, perfect for die cutting. The collection includes different technologies by Sizzix, including Thinlits and Bigz. This means that crafters have a great supply to work with, allowing them to create beautiful cards and home décor in their homes. This has been a highly anticipated collection, with many dies on offer, with the idea that they may possibly be used as a helping hand for a wedding theme. It's also very exciting to see my name being promoted right there on the front of the packaging! For those of you that would like to learn more about the Sizzix brand, click here to visit their website. Also, have a look at the catalogue page, explaining a little more about me as a designer for Sizzix and the collection! Enjoy..

 

 

New Logo!

Been working on a new logo that will be placed on the Sizzix UK branding for the die collections I have recently designed. Below are a couple of snaps from the studio including die sample we have received of my first collection, 'Love Birds', some colour ideas and my finished logo...
