About me
Kia Ora and Welcome!
My name is Del ❤️
For over 20 years, I have been passionate about one thing: helping people hold onto the moments that matter.
As a scrapbooking teacher, I spent two decades showing people how to preserve memories — the photos, the mementos, the small things that carry the weight of a whole life. I learned something in those years that I've never forgotten: the right object, made with care, can make a person feel deeply, permanently loved.
That's what brought me back to Cardmaking.
Not just cards — but the kind of card that doesn't get thrown away. The kind that ends up in a drawer, or propped on a shelf, or tucked inside a memory box years later. The kind where the person receiving it can feel that someone really thought about them.
Every card I make starts at my studio in New Zealand — cut, layered, embossed and finished by hand. Premium materials, no shortcuts, and a lot of quiet attention to detail. Because the person you're sending it to deserves that.
A number of my cards are written in Te Reo Māori — not as a novelty, but as a genuine act of respect for a living, breathing language that belongs to this land.
I'm glad you found me. I hope you find exactly what you're looking for — something that says: I really thought about you.
