HANDMADE CARDS WITH LOVE FOR CHARITY

Saturday, 22 May 2010

I am going to submit this for the Flowers and Lace challenge.

I have quilled the roses and the coiled shapes.

The flower pot has been dye cut from Sizzix mini punches. The flowers and the pot have been stuck on pink hand made paper.

This card was made for a charity sale and sold off in no time.

I love making cards with ribbons and flowers...

I just had a charity card sale on th 26th and it went off well.

We are going to buy stationery for a poor primary school with the proceeds.

I make so many cards that it is best I sell them off - otherwise my home will be a real mess!! Know what I mean?; 28 May 2010 at 10:56

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.
