Creative mayhem in every layer | TV Demo | Creator of #SketchMayhem | Teaming up with brands that embrace the creative mayhem.

This background looks complicated… but it’s actual This background looks complicated… but it’s actually SO satisfying to make 😍

I used the @altenew Pixel Pane Die Set to create this woven effect, layering different cardstock strips to build up that bold geometric design. It’s such a good way to use up scraps and get something that looks way more intricate than it really is 👀

I’ve paired it with a soft vellum sentiment and a bit of dimension to balance everything out—and honestly, I love how modern this feels ✨

I also used the @altenew Micro Blending Brushes for some subtle colour work, and they make such a difference for getting into those smaller areas smoothly

If you want to see exactly how this comes together…

I don’t think these get talked about enough… Thes I don’t think these get talked about enough…

These little motion springs (or boingers as we all call them 😅) are such an easy way to add movement to your cards without overcomplicating things.

You can see in the video how simple they are to use — just peel the backing, stick it onto your element, and you instantly get that raised, springy effect.

It gives your focal point so much more life… especially with things like butterflies where you want that bit of movement 🦋

And yes… once you start using them, you will start putting them on everything 😂

oft, simple… but still doing the absolute most 🤍 oft, simple… but still doing the absolute most 🤍

This card is one of those where the product does all the heavy lifting. The Build-A-Garden: Garland Grace set is just effortless—a bit of soft colour, some layering, and suddenly it looks way more detailed than it actually is.

I kept the palette muted with blush pinks and sage tones, added a little dimension with layering, and finished it off with a simple sentiment (and yes… I couldn’t resist the twine moment).

Sometimes simple really is the strongest look.

his one’s all about that rich, moody background an his one’s all about that rich, moody background and those dreamy fuchsia florals 😍

I’ve been playing with the Magical Fuchsia Press Plate & Die Set from @alexsyberiadesigns and I just love how these colours pop against that deep plum base. The layering adds so much depth, and a little splatter + sequins finishes it off perfectly ✨

Sometimes you just need a bold floral moment… and this definitely delivers 🌸
