I can’t believe we are at the end of May already – where is this year going? I also can’t believe that I have been in ISO and social distancing for 12 weeks – yikes – I think I might be starting to get used to it too – well some aspects like wearing trackies all day every day! Ok, on to my cards.
I used a couple of elements from the Stampin Up ‘Share Sunshine’ COVID-19 digital PDF. I loved the martini and matching sentiment – it made me smile.
I’ve been having fun playing with a technique called ‘scrappy strips’ invented by Bruno Bertucci and I made a really big scrappy strip panel that I was able to create 3 cards from. I used Stampin Up DSP called ‘Forever Greenery’ and stamps and dies called ‘Forever Fern’ that you’ll be able to buy next week!
Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way.
Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals.
So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.

The cards are wonderful Tristan. A new and fresh technique. The SU DSP is beautiful.

A great idea to use the scrappy technique with the sketch and the paper is gorgeous. Thanks for playing along with this week’s Just Add Ink challenge.
