Those butterflies though… 😍 I wanted this card to Those butterflies though… 😍

I wanted this card to feel soft, elegant and full of movement—and I think these beauties absolutely delivered. The detail in the wings from the Flourish Butterfly Trio dies from @simonsaysstamp just does all the work for you ✨

This one is part of the To My Heart release and honestly… there are so many gorgeous pieces in this launch. If you’re into delicate dies and meaningful sentiments, you’ll love it.

Have you tried layering butterfly dies like this before? 🦋👇

Sometimes you’ve just got to mess it up a little… Sometimes you’ve just got to mess it up a little… and trust the process 😅

For this background, I literally dragged an ink pad across the cardstock to create these fun scuff marks — and honestly, I think it works perfectly with the whole shoe theme 👠

It’s such an easy way to add texture and interest without overthinking it… and no two backgrounds will ever look the same, which I love.

Paired it up with the Fancy Shoes Press Plate & Die Set from @alexsyberiadesigns to keep things chic but still a little playful.

Give it a try and let me know… are you brave enough to “mess up” your background? 👀

I’m so excited to finally share this… 🇪🇸✨ I’ll be I’m so excited to finally share this… 🇪🇸✨

I’ll be teaching at @scrapcreaydecora in Madrid this May — and I’ll be running three cardmaking workshops across the day!

This is such a special opportunity for me, not just to teach, but to connect with the crafting community in Spain and share ideas that help you get more from your supplies.

We’ll be focusing on one of my favourite concepts — taking a single idea or layout and turning it into multiple card designs. Simple, practical, and (hopefully!) a little bit inspiring too.

A huge thank you to @scrapbychareta for inviting me — I honestly can’t wait for this one 💛

If you’re attending the show, I’d love to see you there!

📍 Madrid
📅 30 May 2026
🕒 3 workshop sessions

Let me know if you’re coming — it would be amazing to meet you in person!

There’s just something about a pink moment… 💕 I’v There’s just something about a pink moment… 💕

I’ve been playing with the Fancy Shoes Press Plate & Die Set from @alexsyberiadesigns and I couldn’t resist going full chic with this one. These shoes just had to be the star of the show!

I kept the background soft and textured so the colouring could really shine — and honestly, I love how the layering gives them that little extra pop. Finished it off with a few sequins (because… always ✨).

This would be perfect for a birthday, encouragement card, or just sending a little confidence boost to someone who needs it 💌

What do you think — are you team clean & simple or do you prefer lots of layers?

#ad Okay… this is a dangerous deal if you love you #ad Okay… this is a dangerous deal if you love your colouring tools as much as I do 😅

Right now with @olomarker, when you buy 5 markers, you get a 6th FREE 👀

And honestly? If you’ve been thinking about trying them… this is your sign.

They blend beautifully, the brush nib is chef’s kiss, and I’ve been reaching for them more and more in my cardmaking lately.

✨ If you want to grab the deal, just comment “link” below and I’ll send it straight over to you!

(Trust me… you’re going to want more than 5 anyway 😂)
