Handmade By Charlie was established in October 2012 after I was introduced to card making by a fellow card maker for a charity fund raiser in July 2012. During the fundraiser I made a card to celebrate the birth of my niece, Ellie. When she was born and I went to visit her, my brother and sister-in-law and I were amazed at how many cards they had received, however, there were so many duplicate cards. My brother and sister-in-law loved my card so much that it has been framed and placed in the nursery. Since then it has become my mission to produce high quality, unique, affordable handmade cards.
