As someone who was constantly
guilty of forgetting to buy cards for special occasions, back
in 1999 I was inspired to start designing and creating handmade
cards as a hobby - for me the perfect pastime! Little did I realise
back then how completely enjoyable and rewarding this aspect of
my life would prove to be.
The response received from friends and family upon
opening their handcrafted cards was truly exceptional and resulted
in an influx of orders for cards to be given to their loved ones
too. This continued for some time, with my cards all the while
becoming more and more popular and in demand.
People began to place larger orders for all their
card requirements throughout the year so that they were always
to hand and much more personal than shop-bought cards. I began
to host a number of card parties within people's homes and attended
craft events including Christmas fairs. I was soon astounded by
the huge amount of positive feedback and sales received.
I got such a sense of wellbeing from this and soon
decided to expand my hobby a further step and started to exhibit
at local wedding fairs. As a result of this, orders for wedding
stationery started to flood in and I enlisted the help of my mum,
Maureen, in making up the orders. I have recently moved to Staffordshire
with my partner David who is extremely motivated and supportive
and together we have now turned what was once a hobby into a truly
inspiring business.
Here at "Made For The Moment" no job is
too large or small. We specialise in wedding stationery, cards
for every occasion, and all things beautiful. We are also looking
into expanding so as to be able to offer additional handmade items
such as tiaras, keepsake boxes, guest books, disposable cameras
and other exquisite gifts and items to enhance your special day.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Paula and David
