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

There’s just something about fuchsias… 😍 I wanted There’s just something about fuchsias… 😍

I wanted to create a card that felt full, flowing and a little bit dramatic—and this Magical Fuchsia Full Collection Bundle from @teamspellbinders (with designs by @alexsyberiadesigns) made it so easy to build up all that gorgeous detail.

From the layered florals to the soft colour blends and textured elements, this bundle really does everything. You can keep it simple or go all out like I did here (and honestly… I couldn’t stop adding layers!).

That deep green background with the blush and plum tones? Obsessed.

If you love florals with impact but still want versatility, this collection is such a good one to have in your stash.

Let me know—are you team clean & simple or full-on layered like this? 👇

Hey crafty friends! 🎉 I’m so excited to be part o Hey crafty friends! 🎉

I’m so excited to be part of Altenew’s 12th Anniversary Instagram Hop today — celebrating 12 years of beautiful designs, creativity, and inspiration! 🙌

For my card, I’ve used the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Feathered Lilies, and I couldn’t resist leaning into those rich, warm tones. There’s something about this colour combo that feels so bold and elegant at the same time — a little different from my usual style, but I love how it turned out ✨

I’ve paired the florals with a deep background to really make those lilies pop, finished with a touch of splatter and dimension for added interest. Clean, striking, and all about letting the details shine 👀

Bold florals + deep navy… I mean 😍🌸 I’ve used the Bold florals + deep navy… I mean 😍🌸

I’ve used the Tulips and Daffodils Press Plate for this one and honestly the detail is just beautiful. It’s perfect for colouring with markers and creating a really full, flowing floral design 🌼✨

I wanted those yellows and pinks to really pop, so pairing them with a darker background just makes everything stand out so much more!

Are you team bold backgrounds or clean and simple? 👇

Soft pink, layered details and fluttery butterflie Soft pink, layered details and fluttery butterflies… say less 💗

This one came together with a really simple idea—keep the background soft and let the dimension do the work. The white embossed florals give just enough texture, while that arched panel pulls everything together beautifully.

And those butterflies… honestly they’re the star of the show 🦋 A little bit of ink blending, a bit of shaping, and suddenly the whole card feels alive.

I love how the foliage frames the sentiment too—it’s one of those layouts you can come back to again and again and just switch up the colours or theme 🙌

If you’re making something for Mum (or just love a soft, feminine design), this one’s a good one to try!

Spring + texture + cute bunnies… yes please 🐰🌸 Th Spring + texture + cute bunnies… yes please 🐰🌸

This card is all about that gorgeous embossed background using the Little Bunnies Embossing Folder from @simonsaysstamp. It adds the softest detail without taking over the design—perfect for layering up all those colourful florals (which I’ve die cut using the Garden Wreath Add-Ons 🌼).

And can we just take a moment for those little bunnies… I mean 🥹

If you’ve been eyeing up embossing folders, now’s the time 👀
Use code 5WAYS to get 25% off embossing folders (yes, this one included 🙌)

Would you keep this soft and pastel… or go bold with your colours?
