Launch of Cards 4 All Occasions – Liz & Mike Donlan
Cards 4 All Occasions was launched in September 2014 when Liz was showing lots of their photos on the iPad to their next door neighbour in the UK. She suggested Liz put them onto cards and sell them. She launched into action and purchased glossy card stock, envelopes, cellophane bags and began booking stalls at as many craft fairs as possible!

Photographic Cards
With a massive collection of photographs what better way to share them than to transform them into blank cards which can be used for birthdays and special occasions. Cards 4 All Occasions launched in September 2014 using photographs taken by Liz & Mike. Whilst increasing the collection photos were added from our nephew (Mike Bailey), sister (Arlene Garnier), brother (John Bailey) and very good friend (Dean Cowell).

The photographs are printed by ourselves onto 240gsm high gloss card and form an A6 (15cm x 10cm landscape or 10cm x 15cm portrait) card with paper insert, good quality white envelope and packaged in a cellophane envelope. The details of each photograph are printed on the reverse of the card. Some of the cards are available in A5 (15cm x 21cm).

Photographic cards are now only available to order and can be collected from our home or craft fairs – see contact page.

Handmade Cards
Liz & Mike moved from the UK to the Republic of Ireland at the end of April 2019 and were able to book 5 craft fairs at the end of the year where, in addition to the photographic cards Liz had started to make traditional handmade cards.

In December that year Liz, unfortunately had a spell in hospital and, whilst she was recuperating, Mike found a crafting channel on TV. Liz instantly become hooked and decided that she was going to concentrate on traditional handmade cards and whilst no new photographic cards have been made they are still available to order.

In November 2021 we had a stall at our first craft fair since Covid-19 and, indeed, have booked a further two – see Events. During Covid we were able to put some of our cards into Ryans Groceries in Upperchurch which has helped to keep the creative juices flowing.
