About Me

Hello there. Thank you for dropping by and taking a look around my blog. I do hope you’ve found something that you enjoyed and that you drop by again soon.

My name is Karen Spreckley and I live in a small town called Brackley in Northamptonshire with my Partner, my Son, and my Mum.

I work full time in the NHS as a Laboratory Manager, but paper crafting is my passion outside of work, which I try and do in some form or another on a daily basis.

My crafting style has evolved over the years and will probably evolve further. When I first started stamping and making cards, I loved a vintage, grungy look where every square inch of the cardstock was inked, torn or stamped on in some way. But you find me today with a cleaner and simpler style which is also much quicker to achieve, so that is probably why my evolution occurred as I’m not one to spend days deliberating over a design or a colour scheme. If I really don’t like what I produce, then it’ll end up in the recycling bin. It’s just a piece of card at the end of the day.

In February 2016 I was offered the opportunity to join Stampin’ Up! and I jumped at the chance because I wanted to buy all my crafting supplies at a discount. But little did I know what a wonderful world Stampin’ Up! would open up for me. I already loved their products and their colour coordination because I had been using them at classes for several years with Jenny McCormac (My Stampin’ Up! Up line). What I hadn’t realised was how much people matter in the Stampin’ Up! world. Now that’s my kind of company.

I run monthly face to face classes at my home in Brackley and I send out a Newsletter a couple of times a month. I aim to share news, special offers, class info, card making tutorials and my creations with you.

Thanks for dropping by,

Karen
