Welcome to Saddlemount Cards

 We're having a face lift & a complete revamp!

Not in real life (although maybe we could both do with one) but here on our website.

Roy's creative juices have been in overdrive lately and he's designing some of his best cards ever so we've decided to retire some of our older designs.

2023 was the year for us to embark on a new adventure ......we've relocated to Scotland! When we got married Roy moved down from Scotland to England on the condition that he would live there for 2 years and then we would both move back to Scotland. Well after nearly 10 years we finally got round to making that move! With the ongoing demands of our business we did not have the luxury of time to be travelling up to Scotland to work out where we wanted to be so as befitting an online business we did all our research online...

I started to write this blog post just as the New Year arrived and I loved the rhyme in the title - well it's now March and I'm only just about to publish it so it's not so new now!  Where has the time gone? Well the short answer is I don't know! Roy has been so busy creating masses of new designs and he has a new "secret" project on the go. First of all let's talk about the new designs - among other things he's been creating a new line of birthday cards, in a graffiti/ street art style....

Many card companies have a particular style to their card designs - there are lots of card companies I can think of where, if their cards where mixed up in a random pile of cards, you would be able to pick them out easily. It could be the image style, or the fact that they only use a particular background, or maybe they only work in a particular medium, or that they have a linked theme.  Now there's nothing wrong with that but here at Saddlemount Cards® we like to mix it up a bit! So if you asked me what is...

"I've had an idea" - 4 short words that make my husband groan as he doesn't know what I'll come out with next! If you've read some of the earlier posts you will already know that Roy is the creative powerhouse in this business. Despite trying to get my head around all the creative and graphic design programmes we have I just can't seem to get grips with them  Years ago I did 2 terms at nightschool trying to master Photoshop and although I understand what it is capable of creating, making it do what it should be doing is a whole different ball game!...
