Floating on Air Designs

“Sure, grabbing a card with your weekly shop might seem convenient… but does it really say ‘I thought of you and chose this’?

Will it be made with quality materials, thoughtful design, the chance to add personal touches and a whole lot of love?

We believe a card should be more than paper. It should be a Paper Hug 💌 and a personalized card not only stands out as special but also shows as a thoughtful gesture and not an 'oops I forgot, that'll have to do' kind.

If one of our creations has made your day, we’d be chuffed to bits if you’d share your experience. Your kind words help others discover the joy of sending something truly special.

It seems like five minutes since I welcomed August and yet here we are welcoming September! ⁠

August also saw multiple projects reach final approval, printing and delivery stages. And the start of Christmas prep for this year.... sorry (not!) but when you hand craft with love, it takes a little longer than simply hitting print!! ⁠
⁠
The Creation Station closed for the Bristol Hot Air Balloon Fiesta weekend and it was EPIC! The weather Gods were kind (a little too kind as I got burnt despite wearing factor 50!!) 5 out of 6 possible mass ascents, 2 fantastic night glows, 2 world records set.... but just because the Creation Station was closed it doesn't mean there was no FoA action! Sharing the weekend with Jasmin meant there were LOTS of ideas 'floating' as well!! ⁠
⁠
Today is International Letter Writing Day and I will be spending a little time catching up with the penpals and overseas friends I have neglected over the summer period - a real letter somehow seems more thoughtful than a hastily typed and sent email.

Do you still write real cards and letters?

We've won an award!!

Many small business awards encourage a self nomination, but this doesn't sit well with me so I'll admit I was a little sceptical when I first read the email advising of our inclusion.

And I read the email advising of our win several times before it seemed real!

The option of an official award certificate and trophy was very tempting - they would have looked great on our socials and wedding fair displays - but staying true to our values it was decided the cost was better used in developing our designs and keeping our prices as low as possible.

A HUGE Thank you to all our lovely clients and to SME for our unexpected award.

Floating on Air Designs is one of the 2026 winners of UK Enterprise Awards.

Too soon for Christmas designs?!

Back to School isn't even over yet and yet some of the local supermarkets are already jumping to Halloween and Christmas, so if you can't beat them.....

In all seriousness though, help me out and tell me what you always find hard to to buy cards for during 'that' time of year.

♉It’s thought that some of our emotions, personality traits, strengths, weaknesses - and even our relationship compatibility - can be linked to the Zodiac Sign the sun was in on the day we were born.

♉Ta**us is an Earth sign, represented by The Bull, with Venus as its ruling planet.

♉Taureans are often described as hard‑working, reliable, grounded and nature‑loving, with a deep appreciation for harmony, beauty and a touch of luxury.

♉On the flip side, they can also be seen as stubborn, possessive, a little self‑indulgent, and known for a quick temper when pushed too far.

♉So if, like me, you’re a Ta**us (and yep, I can see a LOT of me in the description above!) enjoy your upcoming birthday season and tell us… Do you see yourself in any of this?

After a busy start to the year it's been so lovely to have 4 full days off over the Easter Weekend catching up with family, introducing visitors to Treasuretrail Limited and making plans for later in the year.

I achieved a new PB at , squeezed in a little bit of time af the allotment, visited my Dad's resting place, helped mum in her garden and cause a glimpse of our spikey little hedgehog who has now woken up.

There was even the rarely seen, lesser spotted blue sky on a Bank Holiday!!

Today has been (yawn!) all about the start of the new financial year

But tomorrow?

All the creative fun starts again - and I can't wait!!!
