about Martin Stone
Hello! I’m Martin, the creator behind Martin’s Mayhem.
I have been making handmade cards since the age of 12 following a gift of a card making kit from my parents. Now I live with my partner and our Boston Terrier Winnie in Redditch, UK. Making cards breaks up the monotonous life of working 9-5. I hope you enjoy my little bit of crafting mayhem.

✨ Back in stock & better than ever! ✨ I could ✨ Back in stock & better than ever! ✨
I could not wait to create with the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Magnificent Magnolias from @altenewllc – honestly one of my all-time favourite kits. The second I heard it was back, I grabbed mine and made this bold navy and white card. 💙

Here’s what I love most:
🌸 White ink blending through the stencil for that soft, glowing background.
🌸 Crisp white magnolias layered with kraft details.
🌸 Branches stamped in brown ink and fussy cut for extra dimension.
🌸 A warm kraft panel & sentiment to bring it all together.

This kit has EVERYTHING you need – stamps, dies, stencils and an embossing folder. If you missed it last time, don’t wait around… it won’t stay in stock for long!

I had the best time joining @kingstoncrafts on @hobbymakertv today, sharing all things colourful, creative, and crafty. ✨

Crafting is meant to be fun — and I think I proved that point pretty well! 💛

oft florals + sweet little birds = a perfect thank oft florals + sweet little birds = a perfect thank you card 🪷🐦

I created this card using the Vintage Blooms Stamp & Die Set from @simonsaysstamp. To get that dreamy, washed-out floral look, I coloured directly onto the stamp with markers and spritzed with water before stamping—such a fun and easy technique! ✨

A big thank you to @itsacardknocklife for the inspiration behind this design 💕

What do you think—would you try this technique on your next card?
