Creating a red packet is a project that I have wanted to do for years I just never knew how to go about it. I am so glad I was able to make it a reality with the help of Ann from Bright Press. These letterpress printed red packets are so beautiful and 1000 times better than I could ever have imagined.

The artworks in this collaboration are all inspired by places around the house that my Border Collie Basil likes to hang out. He always seems to get into the weirdest places and it brings so much joy to our lives. I wanted to share these special moments and immortalise them in illustrated form.

I’ve always loved decorating the house and what better excuse than my own birthday! I made these decorations using my Cricut and some scrap card from my craft stash. All of the pieces were cut out using the Cricut and then sewn together with my sewing machine.
