New Range! - Spookily Does It! (Part 1)

Halloween is nearly upon us, so it's the perfect time to share my brand new range for 'Spookily Does It!' An extension of the highly successful 'Sweetly Does It' brand, 'Spookily Does It' puts an all new and slightly creepy twist on baking and partyware for the halloween season! It was so much fun creating a range for kids - a great opportunity to play with a bright and gaudy colour pallet that I wouldn't normally get away with(!) and a chance to design some cute Halloween characters!
For the 'party in a box' product brief I extended my design to look like a haunted house with spooky surprises…!
 …There are pop up pieces in the roof of the house so it is more 3D and it turns into a cake pop stand to make the perfect party centre piece! (The tombstone in the below photo was added by the packaging company - although I understand why it was needed due to the box having the dual purpose of also being packaging I wish they had asked me to draw it for them so that it was more in keeping with the rest of the design…)
The box contains paper cups, pumpkin shaped paper plates, paper napkins, straws, a Halloween door banner and a plastic table cloth.

JUST A CARD INDIE WEEK - DAY 5 - INDIE FRIDAY

Image
Today is Indie Friday - t he Colourful Independent alternative to Black Friday.   As anyone who has followed my shop will know I have never had a Black Friday sale - only colourful weekend sales! Personally, I find the whole concept of Black Friday rather depressing. It sounds so bleak and sapped of life. And actually if you look into the history, it's not that great... Many people think it refers to the day that shop keepers go into the black (- showing profit as opposed to being in the red financially), but it actually refers to the black days of financial crashes and references a day marked by disaster or misfortune. According to Dictionary.com it was first used by factory managers in the 1950s to describe the Friday after Thanksgiving because so many of their workers decided to call in sick, thus extending the holiday. The article goes on to say: "About 10 years later,   Black Friday   was used by Philadelphia traffic cops to describe the day after Thanksgiving because th

Today is the day to tell you about my events... Well I've actually already done several this year, but you can still find me hosting a pop-up stall in the courtyard at The Farmer's Den, Cookley , Worcestershire this Friday (25th November), and at ' The On Your Doorstep ' Winter Market at the Beefeater, Kingswinford this Sunday (27th November). I will then be back at The Farmer's Den for my final pop-up of the year next Friday (2nd December).  If you can't make it to one of my physical events, I am also taking part in the Just A Card & Handmade Hour Christmas Fair , which is a great place to visit to find lots of interesting independent artists, makers and retailers. You can of course also shop with me directly at my online store , through my store on the SHOP app , (search Vicky Yorke Designs) which allows you to check-out with multiple stores at the same time - ideal for Christmas shopping; and through my Facebook Page  shop. You will also find me on Cookl

JUST A CARD INDIE WEEK - DAY 3

I love visiting independent stores and gift markets at any time of the year, to wander round looking at the treasure trove of loveliness and finding beautiful presents for loved ones - and little treats for myself! But at Christmas I think independents really come into their own. The stores are beautifully decorated, the gift stalls are fabulously festive and there is always a warm welcome! They've been adding to the loveliness all year... It's just really special and I know they are waiting for you to pop along and give them their time to shine! Today is my absolute favourite day of Just A Card Indie Week, because it's the day I get to shout about my favourite independent businesses! All of these designers, makers and independent stores are doing an incredible job of enriching our lives through creativity and / or community. This year I've decided to focus on independents who are local to me. I've created a little paragraph about each, but please take a look at the
