Hello and welcome to my blog! I’m so happy you are here! Keep reading to learn more about me and how to enter to win a cute stamp and die set!
My name is Alexandra and I’m pretty new to the wonderful hobby that is cardmaking. I started making cards in 2021 when, with the Pandemic still causing lots of stress, I decided I needed another hobby to keep me occupied. I started with just a few stamps and the rest is history! My fellow cardmakers will understand how fast the crafty stash grows!
Pretty soon after I started making cards I decided I wanted to have somewhere to share my creations so I started an Instagram. This card on the right is the first ever card I posted to my Rookiecardmaker Instagram account. It is so neat to see how far I have come with this hobby. Both my cardmaking and and photography skills have improved greatly over the last couple years haha!
Since then I have really grown as a cardmaker and creator. This year has seen me be invited to work on several design teams, something I would never have dreamed possible back when I started this hobby!
I hope that I can continue to grow as a creator and that I can share even more inspiration and crafty ideas with you on this blog. I have lots of exciting plans, including cardmaking tutorials, crafty product reviews, and colouring advice specifically for cardmakers!

What an adorable set 🥰
Cute set, thanks for the chance to win it. Also welcome to the world of card making, it is so much fun! Your cards are really cute
Thank you so much Cathy! Cardmaking is the best!
I’m new to the card making IG and blog world and love to follow along! Thanks for inspiring us!
Cardmaking is the best corner of the internet IMO! Sometimes you just need to see all the pretty and creative things to cheer yourself up and cardmaking always does that for me!
I love your creativity 🥰 You inspire me to start making cards again ☺️
Oh my gosh! This is the sweetest complement ever! I’m so glad you are back into cardmaking, I hope you are having the best time being creative!
Such a cute set! Thank you for sharing your cards, I love seeing how everyone uses stamps in different ways!
Thank you so much! I love seeing stamps used in different ways too, maybe I will do a “one stamp set, different ways to use it” series on my blog!
I love your coloring. You may be a rookie but it would be like Albert Pujols or Mike Trout being a rookie for baseball-very very talented and glad you share your work with others.
I don’t know much about baseball but I’m flattered by the comparison! At this point I’ve decided rookie is a state of mind! I might not be a complete beginner but there is always going to be more to learn and new things to try!
Beautiful coloring 😍
You are so sweet! Thank you! Colouring is my favourite part of cardmaking!
Thank you for the chance to win this adorable set. You make beautiful cards.
Thank you so much!
Cute stamps, your cards are beautiful, hardly a rookie at all. I think you should rename your handle!
Aww thank you! At this point I’m considering Rookie a state of mind! I might not be an absolute beginner anymore but there will always be more to learn and new things to try!
Congratulations on setting up your blog! I always love seeing your posts so I can’t wait to see what you do here! 🥳🥳
Thank you so much!
I’m living in Nebraska right now, and I can see that little ear of corn making an awesome background piece for all my Cornhuskers out here!
PS – your lady with umbrella card is beautiful!
Thank you so much!
YAY! Thank you 😊
