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

Next week I’m teaching my Autumn Whispers workshop Next week I’m teaching my Autumn Whispers workshop, and this is one of the cards we’ll be creating!

We’re spending the day getting properly inky with the gorgeous Autumn Whispers Bundle from @altenewllc, exploring stamping, ink blending, layering and different ways to bring those beautiful autumn leaves to life.

The workshop runs 10am–4pm, your Autumn Whispers Bundle is included, AND there’s a buffet lunch — basically a full day of crafting, chatting and making a glorious mess together.

I’ve been busy behind the scenes putting all of the projects together and I’m SO excited to finally share them with everyone joining me. This card is all about those warmer, softer autumn tones with Dusty Peach, Redwood, cream, layered leaves and just a little sparkle.

If you’ve already booked your place with @hobbymaker, consider this your reminder that we’re nearly there!

And because this is also my latest Altenew Ambassador project, I’ve got a giveaway for you too…

Peaceful, frosty and just a little bit sparkly 🤍❄️ Peaceful, frosty and just a little bit sparkly 🤍❄️

I’m so excited to be joining @concordand9th as a Guest Designer for their September release, and this card features the beautiful Peaceful Dove Bundle.

I kept the colour palette really soft with icy blues, crisp white and warm neutrals, then layered in vellum foliage, a subtle plaid background and plenty of dimension around that gorgeous dove. A few sequins and a little thread were all it needed to finish it off.

I absolutely love how calm and elegant this one feels — very different from my usual bolder Christmas colours, but I’m kind of obsessed with it!

What do you think — are you a traditional red and green Christmas cardmaker, or do you like softer colour palettes too?

The florals, the moody brown background, those pop The florals, the moody brown background, those pops of turquoise… I am OBSESSED with how this one turned out!

I’m joining the Altenew September 2026 Release Instagram Hop today and sharing this card created with the gorgeous Build-A-Garden: Harvest Bouquet from @altenewllc.

I decided to steer away from the more traditional autumnal palette and went for soft purples and blue-green foliage against that deep chocolate background instead. Add a little gold, some dimension and a bit of twine and, well… apparently I’m incapable of making a completely flat card.

What colour palette would you try with this bouquet?

A little layered floral moment using the gorgeous A little layered floral moment using the gorgeous Born to Bloom collection from @rosiesstudio 🌸

I had so much fun building this one up with patterned papers, the oversized heart, twine and that big “hello” sentiment. I love how the deep blue cardstock makes all those soft pinks, yellows and greens pop!

And if Born to Bloom has made its way onto your wishlist, you can save 10% at Rosie's Studio with my code MARTIN10.

What do we think — are you a fan of lots of layers on a card, or do you prefer to keep things clean and simple?
