Journaling for Cardmakers – A Creative Day in Inverness
A Whole Day Just for Creativity
There’s something special about setting aside a whole day with no rushing, no interruptions — just time, space, and inspiration to explore.
On Saturday 20th September 2025, I’ll be joining Julia McNeill and Janice Phillips at The Treehouse, Inverness for a workshop that’s more than just another craft class. Together, we’ll spend the day learning, experimenting, and creating — and the ideas you’ll discover won’t stop when the day ends.
Why This Workshop is Different
Ever left a workshop buzzing with ideas… only to forget the steps by the next week?
Most classes give you a wonderful day, but then it’s over. By the time you try the techniques again, the details have faded.
That’s why this workshop comes with lifetime access to a video of the project from all three tutors. That’s essentially three online workshops you can revisit anytime — pausing, rewinding, and experimenting at your own pace. Whether it’s next week or next year, you’ll still have the inspiration and the know-how.

My Ethos: Art Journaling is for Everyone
When people hear art journaling, they sometimes picture complicated, gallery-worthy spreads or think they need mountains of supplies. I’ve heard all the reasons — “It’s niche,” “I’m a cardmaker, not a journaler” — and honestly, I’ve said them myself.
For me, art journaling is simply about exploring ideas on paper without pressure. There’s no right or wrong — just layers, colours, shapes, and imagination. Even the pages I think are “naff” teach me something — about products, techniques, or my own creativity.
And here’s the best part: your journal doesn’t have to stay private, but it can if you want. It’s your creative playground, free from rules and expectations.

From Journal to Card (and Beyond)
One of my favourite things is taking an idea from my journal and turning it into something new — a handmade card, a gift tag, even framed art.

If you’re a cardmaker, art journaling gives you a safe space to try things without the pressure of a final product. And then, when you do want a finished piece, your journal is bursting with ideas ready to use.

What You’ll Take Away
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:
-
A brand-new art journal to start filling with your own creations
-
Finished projects — whether that’s a page, a card, or a tag
-
Lifetime access to the project video so you can keep learning
-
A goodie bag of supplies to inspire your next steps
-
An exclusive 25% discount at the pop-up shop on the day
Most importantly, you’ll leave with the confidence to keep exploring. Creativity builds on itself — one idea leads to another — and this day is designed to spark that chain reaction.
