Ruth Hamilton
My name is Ruth Hamilton and I am an avid paper-crafter. I live in beautiful Northern Ireland with my husband and two grown- up sons.
My many interests include drawing, gardening, flower arranging, interior design as well as paper crafts.
I have a blog, A Passion for Cards, where I regularly post my creations, often with tutorials. I designed the Pick of the Bunch range for Tonic Studios, which is where I enjoy both the “behind the scenes” designing of a product/tool and then get creative by showing what you can do with it. I always have a notepad and pencil at the ready as you just never know what can inspire you in nature or your surroundings.
My predominant theme is florals; I’m always drawing, colouring or just “thinking” flowers!
Some of my creations are regularly featured in a couple of craft magazines, “Cardmaking and Papercraft” and “Crafts Beautiful,” and it’s always exciting to see how they have been set up and photographed for publication.
When I’m not designing or creating, you will often find me out and about demonstrating. I love all the interaction and feedback I get when I meet up with other crafters. I’m also delighted to be on the Design Teams for, Tonic Studios, Papermill Direct, and Fantastic Ribbons. This combination works like a dream for me!
Recently I have become the proud owner of a Silhouette Cameo and am just getting to grips with it. Hopefully you’ll see some of my Cameo creations in the near future..
