Hello there, it’s time for our first challenge of 2025 at Just Add Ink and that means we’re kicking off with a Blog Hop and what a great theme we have for you!
For my card I used a new DSP I picked up during the Boxing Day sales from Spotlight – I loved the glittery cupcakes and didn’t have a project in mind when I bought it until I was reminded that I needed a card/project for this challenge.
I have a friend’s birthday coming up, so decided to make a little purse to put her gift in and a matching fancy fold concertina card. On the card I fussy cut some of the cupcakes to add to the sentiment panels. The sentiments are from Stampin Up ‘Happiest of Birthdays’ stamp set.

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.
