Handmade Horizons: Crafting with Colour, Texture & Travel Vibes Blog post with supplies list



Introducing My New Collection – Street Art is truly A “Wanderlust in Bloom”


You can find it on the website here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/DZdnM



I feel so lucky to have had the chance to travel — not as far or as often as I’d like just yet (my wanderlist is still very long!), but every place I’ve been has left a mark on my heart. This collection is a celebration of that feeling — inspired by the colours, textures, and moods of places I’ve visited… and the ones I still dream of seeing.


Each design is bursting with retro charm, lush florals and foliage, and with bright pops of colour that bring joy to any project. I created these as one sheet wonders — each A4 sheet includes a coordinated focal topper, background paper, and matching sentiments, making it super easy to create eye-catching, layered cards that come together beautifully.


But these aren't just for cards! They're also perfect for journals, scrapbooks, and albums — anywhere you want to add a little colour and story.


Whether you're crafting a cheerful hello, a thoughtful thank-you, or a memory-filled journal page, I hope you enjoy using these as much as I enjoyed creating them.


Let me know where they take you. 💛

The black paper can be found here on amazon: https://amzn.to/4kwv1YU i think this is a fab price for the quality and i like being able to buy it in smaller packs as i don't use black that often so 25 A5 sheets is enough for me for a while

I still enjoy dipping back into floristry now and again—whether that’s creating special gifts, working on events, or the occasional wedding. Alongside that, crafting has always been my other passion… so it probably comes as no surprise that the two have blended together over the years in the most wonderful way 💛 Creating flowers out of paper is something I’ve absolutely fallen in love with—and it’s been a passion of mine for over 20 years now.
