HANDMADE CARDS WITH LOVE FOR CHARITY

Saturday 8 May 2010

I quilled the roses with hand made paper from India and stuck them on a layered background. I love the riot of colours - just right for spring.

I sell my cards for charity at my daughter's school and believe me this card sold in no time. It went for USD 3 - though in my heart I knew I could have made more money since there is a lot of hard work!

This card is just beautiful -- I've seen youtube video tutorials of quilling so I know how much work went into making this card :o)

How wonderful for the charities that you raise money for and that you are able to sell your cards so easily!; 9 May 2010 at 06:14
Indianizer said...: Hey, this is stunning! I'm not really a card person (gave up on cards after buying my last stupid Valentine's Day card in 1997, after my (then) GF and now wife insisted I buy one for her. But this card is totally unique. Very very out of the box! Keep adding more pix.; 9 May 2010 at 09:20

About Me

My name is Monica and I am a mother to two lovely girls aged 22 and 14. We moved back to Singapore in June 2014 after having lived in Jakarta, Indonesia and Mumbai. I have a background in Psychology and Sociology Honours along with a post grad diploma in Journalism. I used to work in direct marketing for a premium hotel in India before I decided to become a stay at home mother. I have been creating and selling greeting cards for charity since 17 years. I often use unusual packaging material on my cards to respect and care for the environment. Presently, I share my cards as well as the proceeds from their sales with a shelter that houses and supports abused women in Singapore. Besides this, I run an initiative (UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY - UWS) on meditation, wellness, art and culture. You can find my page on Facebook under the name of UNITED WORLD SANCTUARY-UWS. I also hold mindfulness/wellness workshops for parents in my younger one's school. Besides, I hold Mindful Art and Card workshops for mothers and children.
