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

You don’t need a complicated design to create some You don’t need a complicated design to create something beautiful.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do…
is go back to basics.

In this session, I start exactly here —
simple shapes.
Clean structure.
No overthinking.

Because when you strip a layout back to circles, rectangles and banners, something shifts. It stops feeling overwhelming. It starts feeling possible.

That’s the foundation of Stretch Your Sketches — learning how one simple framework can unlock endless card designs.

If you’ve ever stared at a blank card base wondering where to start… this is your starting point.

Join me at the Card Maker Success Summit
📅 Feb 26 – March 01

Let’s build confidence from the ground up.

VIP options available.
Those layered petals. That rich autumn palette. Th Those layered petals. That rich autumn palette. That depth against the dark background…

This card was created using the Ornamental Poppies Layering Die Set from @altenewllc and honestly, it’s one of those sets that makes you feel like an absolute pro just by layering cardstock.

The dimension.
The movement.
The drama.

If you love bold florals that fill an entire card front with ease, this set is a must.

✨ GIVEAWAY TIME ✨

✨ Organising my Stellar Sequins… because they dese ✨ Organising my Stellar Sequins… because they deserve it ✨

I genuinely think these are some of the prettiest embellishments in my stash. The colour blends, the shimmer, the mix of sizes — they just catch the light perfectly on a card.

Every mix gives you multiple sizes, which means instant depth and dimension without even trying. A few scattered sequins and suddenly your card feels finished.

I’ve separated mine by size in stackable containers so I can grab exactly what I need (and avoid rummaging through packets mid-craft 😅), but honestly… they’re beautiful however you store them.

If you haven’t tried the Stellar Sequins yet, they’re one of those small additions that make a big difference.

Which colour mix are you obsessed with right now? ✨

Happy Valentine’s Day, crafty friends ❤️🍒 This on Happy Valentine’s Day, crafty friends ❤️🍒

This one’s for you.

Thank you for the likes, the comments, the shares, the link clicks, the encouragement, the messages… all of it. This community genuinely means the world to me and I don’t say that lightly.

I created this bold cherry Valentine using the This is Big Sentiments: Love Stamp Set from @papertreyink — and that oversized “Love” felt pretty appropriate today 🥰

The playful cherry background was created using stencils from @mydiamondpress — just enough fun to keep it sweet without stealing the spotlight from that big statement sentiment.

If you’d like to see how it came together, the full tutorial and supply list are live on the blog (link in bio 🍒).

Sending you all the crafty love today ❤️
