I’m so happy you’re here! I’m a crafter at heart, and my creative journey began more than twenty years ago with scrapbooking. From the very beginning, I was captivated by the colours, textures, and endless possibilities that paper crafting offers. What started as a simple love of paper crafts grew into something much bigger when I discovered Altenew stamps in 2014. That spark of inspiration transformed a hobby into a true creative passion.
By profession, I hold a BSc in Chemistry, and those years of scientific study left me with an eye for detail and a love of precision. Whether I’m crafting handmade cards, experimenting with stamping techniques, or perfecting layered paper designs, creativity and methodical thinking always go hand in hand.
I find deep beauty in the tactile nature of paper and the thoughtful process behind every handmade creation. Through Paper Snips, I share my love of stamping, scrapbooking, card making, and mindful creativity. My hope is that you’ll find inspiration, encouragement, and perhaps even the confidence to try something new.
If you’re here, I hope you leave feeling inspired and excited to create something beautiful of your own.
Beyond Paper & Ink
My latest embroidery project.
While paper and ink are at the heart of my creative journey, my passion also extends to the delicate art of haute patisserie—macarons are, by far, my favourite challenge to take on. My creative spirit also finds a home in embroidery, where I love bringing romantic, colourful designs to life with every stitch. I find myself drawn to pastel tones, especially soft pink hues. Can you tell?

My Review Promise
The reason I review products is because I know how exciting it is to discover a new stamp set or a die collection. I also know how disappointing it can be when a product doesn’t quite live up to the beautiful photographs online.
Paper Snips was created to inspire creativity, but also to help fellow crafters spend their crafting budget wisely. Every review you read here comes from hours spent creating real projects at my own craft desk—not from opening a package for a quick first impression.
My hope is that when you leave Paper Snips, you’ll not only feel inspired to make something beautiful, but also feel confident that any recommendation I make has been earned through genuine experience. I’ll always share my genuine experience, whether a product was purchased by me or kindly provided by a company. My opinions will remain entirely my own.
