Zazzling! [Part 2]

After a tad more growling at advanced store customisation, my new graphic design store is up & running and Designed By Louise business cards are now available on Zazzle!

The business cards are standard 3.5"x2" size, printed on 99.20lb premium white card stock, with free full-bleed, full-colour printing on both side. Skinny and chubby sizes and different card stock options are also available.

All of my business card designs can be customised quickly and easily online by you - Add your own details, change the font type, colour, and size, and move text around if required. Back design is included for additional text, website URLs, and contact details. These can also be changed, replaced, or deleted as required.

Please pop by my new store and take a look!

Zazzling! [Part 1]

It's been a while since I've attempted advanced store customisation over at Zazzle, and after a few days of growling at my computer/Zazzle/myself, my greeting card store With love - Cards For All Occasions has now been totally redesigned!

The entire store has been reorganised, and all of my cards and invitations have been readded so they're quicker and easier to personalise.

If you're a Zazzler thinking about customising your store, take a look at the links below from the Zazzle forum, I found them really helpful!

Happy Valentine's Day

Inspired By EE Cummings poem:


I Carry Your Heart With Me

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in

my heart) i am never without it (anywhere

i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear

no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want

no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone xxx

I know it's February, but ...

It's strange the way I always feel more christmasy AFTER christmas than I ever do during the festive season. Maybe it's the weather - It's been snowing here again today, proper winter weather!

I love the snow so today seemed like the ideal time to share some of my new christmas card designs. You can find a preview of the new range on my Facebook page. I've also spent the entire day hibernating with chocolate and mugs of hot tea while updating DizzyChi's website and revamping my blogs. So long overdue! The next step is a complete overhaul of my Zazzle stores, which have been terribly neglected too - There are loads of lovely new products to make over there!

It's good to be creating again. After a rough 2 and a half years of dealing with illness and other annoyances, today really feels like a turning point for me. Maybe it's just the snow, but life seems very new and magical again to me ... Louise x
