Hello Card Lovers,

Bringing some sunshine into card headquarters (as there is none outside) I took a trip to a very beautiful part of the world last week to Melrose in the scottish borders. I had never been before and wow, it’s a gorgeous place to be and visit. I was visiting which is now the newest sparkliest stockist to Carla Jones Design! There will be tailored ranges to two of their shops in Melrose, with ranges at Masons of Melrose, a gorgeous fantastic bookstore and at Tracey M, one of the most amazing home gift boutiques I’ve ever seen!

Find them at:

Tracey M, 1 The Wynd, Melrose.

Masons of Melrose, 9 Market Square, Melrose.

Very exciting!

Stay sparkly everyone!

Hi everyone!

Getting some inspiration for some new cards, one of the most popular themes is flowers. So, to brighten my day and bring some colour to the studio for some new ranges, here are some fab pics of some lovely flowers I was given. Very inspired to do some prints now! Enjoy!

Hello!

It’s August and we are still searching for sun! To brighten up your day, here at card headquarters we have a new Limited Editions section in the shop from today. Each month now, a new range of quirky designs will magic before your eyes! Then will disappear for new ones. To launch this, we have started with a great range. Our love of tea and all things bonkers about Lady Gaga combined to bring a fun new range of cards. They will not be available in any stockists - just in the online shop, so enjoy and stay sparkly!

Hi folks!

It’s August and it’s raining outside. No sun at all. So I have to create my own sunny days here at card head quarters. Last week, much to my amazement these arrived from my other half. Antique Gin bottles which he had from being a student of science, hidden away like treasure. I loved them as soon as he brought them to me like prized gold. They are quite large, but he has 2 of them! It just gets better. I love all things old and vintage, so I am trying hard to keep some fresh flowers in them now. Gorgeous. Who knew he had such a good design eye?  I think I’m training him well…..

Hello!

With lots happening over the next few weeks, I have been alerted to the fact that my stockists list, ahem, needs an update!! With all you lovely sparkly stockists all over the UK - yes it should be known and noted and shouted from the rooftops so I am going to update this section as I’ve many newbies added this year to the card family now! So look out for new updated listings coming very soon!

thanks!!!!

I don’t often get many gifts - but love it when I do and got many last week!!!! This is the cutest pin cushion I’ve ever seen, given to me with the friendship ball from my wonderful arty friend Claire. Oooohhh it’s soooooooo cute!!!! So, what shall I get pinning and stitching? ?  ? ? ? ?

Dear card lovers,

My oh so talented artist best friend Claire gave me the most beautiful gift for my studio when she visited the headquarters last week. As a child I loved marbles. I was quite the marble hustler and at playtimes would win all the boys prized marbles from them in the playground. When I opened this it took me back, it’s sooo unusual and amazing cause my best friend gave it to me.  The sun catches it lovely and every time I look at it, it reminds me of my best friend who lives far away in France. Just gorgeous! now I think I shall go and buy some marbles now! carla x
