My Story

Hi, I’m Angela.

It all started back in 2012 when a friend asked me to go with her to a craft shop. There was an abundance of beautiful, coloured papers of all shapes and textures, neatly stacked in rows. My obsession with all things paper and card began!

I started with the basics – simple decoupage and a pair of scissors, but soon wanted to try more techniques. My passion is in the design of cards and gifts, and that, combined with my skills in IT, moved me onto digital creations and design.

I like to design cards that reflect the person that they are being sent to or that reflects their current life and event. Even children’s birthday cards – they are designed with images that reflect a child’s personality and likes and dislikes. It makes them more valued.

Sending someone a card or gift for whatever occasion or event in their life shows you care – what better way to express your care and love than to make it specific to them!

In 2019, having run out of space in the dining room, the Mothershed Studio was created – a large log cabin in my garden that is stacked with paper and every possible craft accessory you might need, and I spend most of my time in there with the garden as my inspiration.

The Mothershed Studio specialises in creating cards and gifts that are designed specifically for the receiver. It can be as simple as adding a name or celebration details to a hand-crafted item, or an item can include something memorable to the person, or the entire card or gift can be designed exactly for the person in mind.

Everything is made from paper or card, so apart from the few added gems for sparkle, they are fully recyclable.

My two daughters are my biggest critiques – if it’s not right they let me know! Even my three-year-old granddaughter has started putting detailed requests in for cards for her friends!
