Here's me 👋

Welcome, crafty friend!

I’m Irene Smith—aka @artemismade1, “Hattrick” Smith, Chaos Coordinator, and your friendly neighborhood wordSmith. I’ve been papercrafting for as long as I’ve loved puns and punchlines (forever!), and cardmaking is where it all comes together.

As a proud member of several design teams, I’ve learned from some of the best in the biz—and now I’m here to share those insights (plus a few of my own) with you. Whether you're here for tips, tricks, or a little creative chaos (#IYKYK), you’re in the right place, so settle in and let’s get bloggy with it!
