My little helpers are ready for their new home! 🐝🐸🦉💕

A few handmade signs to add some extra whimsy to my Maker’s Market display!

Because even the signs deserve a little personality! 🎨✨

And remember, if you can dream it, we can create something inspired by it! 💕

A little birthday magic for Miss Paris! 💕🎂✨

Turning SEVEN deserves something extra special, don’t you think? 🎶🪩

This custom birthday card was such a fun one to create! A little music, a little sparkle, some dancing shoes, and a whole lot of personality!

Every card I create is individually hand-drawn and hand-coloured, making each one as unique as the person receiving it. 💗

Thank you for letting me bring a little whimsy to Paris’s special day! 🐝

✨ Custom orders are always welcome!

Early Saturday mornings are for getting things done! ☕🎨💕

A little cutting, a little folding, a little assembling… and lots of love going into every handmade card! 🥰

There’s something so satisfying about watching everything come together, one card at a time.

Happy Saturday, y’all! 🐝✨

Since I carve REAL pumpkins … no fake ones over here 😂 … I usually have to wait until about a week before Halloween to start carving the new crew.

So until then, here are some throwbacks to a few of my favourite pumpkins from years past. 🎃✨

Enjoy the pumpkin nostalgia… and stay tuned to see how many pumpkins I end up carving this year … and what ridiculous things I decide to carve into them for 2026. 😂🔪🎃

Thanks a bunch 🖤

A little peek at my desk ….

Yes, I need every single one of those markers. 😂

Which card is your favourite?

When someone trusts you to create something for such a special moment… ❤️

I had the honour of creating this custom wedding card for a very special son & daughter-in-law, and I’m so grateful they trusted me to bring their idea to life. 🥹

Hand-drawn, hand-coloured and made with lots of little details and a whole lot of love. ❤️

This is one of my favourite things about creating …. knowing something I made with my own two hands gets to become a tiny part of someone else’s big moments. 🥰

Thank you for trusting Thoughts of Whimsy with this one. ❤️

Working on some new anime-inspired birthday cards for my section at Maker’s Market. 🥰 A little cute, a little dramatic, a little ridiculous… basically exactly how birthdays should be. 😂

Each one is hand-drawn and individually hand-coloured by me, so no two are ever exactly the same. ❤️

More designs coming because apparently once I start, I can’t stop. 😂✌️

REPORTING FOR SAMPLE-CARD DUTY! 🐝📬✨

This is one of my Thoughts of Whimsy sample card, made especially for Maker’s Market so you can pick it up, open it, feel the paper and see exactly what one of my cards is like inside

And obviously I couldn’t just put out a boring sample card.
Even the sample needed a little whimsy. 😂🐝

Soon you’ll be able to spot him at Maker’s Market saying:
“Go ahead… OPEN ME!”

Hand-drawn, individually hand-coloured and completely one-of-a-kind. ✍️🎨✨
