Inky & Stampy

Welcome to Inky and Stampy! The place for Kiwi cardmakers!

I am Chick, and I live in Wellington, New Zealand, with my three children and two dogs.

The aim of this website is to share information about card making for all cardmakers, including how-to’s, tools and products that are useful, plus great places to shop both in New Zealand and internationally, and various other online resources.

I also teach classes regularly at Scrapbook Central in Lower Hutt – beginners are welcome.

Such a fun bunch of ladies who come and get inky with me!

I am a supporter of artists and designers, and companies who pay living wages. Genuine stamp companies work hard to get their gorgeous product lines out to us – they pay artists, designers and license fees for their images. They are often generous with sponsorships, giveaways and supporting charities. They can tell when you use counterfeit product, and honestly, so can we. These companies are small, often just 1-2 people at a kitchen table/garage. Please choose to avoid counterfeit products and stolen intellectual property, and purchase quality product instead – put your money where it deserves to be!
