Renske with cardmaking supplies, story-driven cards inspiration

Hi, I am Renske

I started making cards in 2019, looking for something creative I could enjoy on my own terms. Living with chronic migraine has taught me to appreciate the freedom to create at my own pace, take breaks when I need them and enjoy the process without pressure.

Over time, cardmaking became more than a hobby. It gave me something creative to focus on and inspired me to share what I learned with others.

Today, I create handmade cards, write step-by-step tutorials and share honest insights into the techniques, products and creative choices behind my projects. I hope my experiences help you explore new ideas, build your skills and develop your own creative style.

There is no need to follow every step perfectly. Take what works for you, adapt the ideas to your supplies and make each project your own.

Design teams I work with

I work with selected craft brands whose products I use in my own cardmaking. I share the cards I create for these design teams, along with tutorials explaining my process and the creative choices behind each project.

Polkadoodles

I create cards for the Polkadoodles community challenges using their digital stamps and paper. Each card starts with a brief such as a theme, a colour palette, or a specific product. I share the full process in a tutorial on my blog.
