I’m a cardmaker and paper crafter who loves sharing creative inspiration, techniques, and ways to use your stash—without the pressure of always buying the latest products.
I started my crafting journey in 2011 and have since taught both in-person and online classes, shared my work in national publications, and even had the honour of being part of the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team twice (2015-2016 & 2018).
A Bit About Me
I live in Bendigo, Victoria, with my husband (a talented carpenter) and our two wonderful, complex children. Crafting has always been my creative escape—it’s where I find mindfulness and a sense of community. I love neutral tones and natural greens, with soft, romantic elements. I enjoy working with sketches and specific requests, while also embracing a resourceful, thrifty approach to cardmaking. Repurposing materials and using what I have not only fuels my creativity but also keeps my craft sustainable.
My Creative Process
My projects come together over time—I squeeze in crafting between family life, so I work in stages. I lay out all my stamped and die-cut pieces before committing to a final design. If something doesn’t feel quite right, I let it sit overnight and revisit it with fresh eyes.
Finding Inspiration & Beating Creative Slumps
Like many creatives, I hit slumps when life gets busy. To reignite my inspiration, I love joining online challenges, flipping through magazines, or scrolling Pinterest and Instagram—but always with a focus on using what I have rather than feeling pressured by trends.
Let’s Connect!
I’d love to share more cardmaking ideas and tutorials with you! You can find me on Instagram and YouTube, where I post inspiration, tips, and ways to craft mindfully. Thanks for being part of my creative journey!
