Mini Catalogue Launch Party... creating, games, and prizes!

We recently had a lot of fun at a Mini Catalogue Launch Party I held to celebrate my favourite release of the year, the stunning January-April 2025 Mini Catalogue.  One of the highlights of this fun event is the display of all the gorgeous new products.  The product photographs in the catalogues are amazing (kudos to the Stampin' Up! creative team), but they are much better in real life.

Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Saint Valentine's Day, Feast of Saint Valentine, Love Day, Cupid's Day, Chocolate Day... however you are celebrating today with your special loved one or ones, I hope your day is filled with love, joy, and affection 🥰.

Nui te aroha ki a koe!
MUCH LOVE TO YOU!

Wildflower Birthday Kickstand Fold-Fold Card

I love the simplicity of this Kickstand Fun-Fold Card. Not only is it easy to create but quick, too—they are the best fun-fold designs!  The only time-consuming part is how much stamping and decorating you add.

Hugs for Love Valentine Drop Down Gift Box

I have seen the idea for drop-down gift boxes in many places and wondered how difficult it was to create one.  So I sat down, did the math, and found a simple design I love, just in time for Valentine's Day.

Hello

about me

I am a stay-at-home mum with three adult children and a wonderfully supportive husband.  My creative timeout is stamping, creating and giving handmade greeting cards.  When I was introduced to Stampin' Up!® over fifteen years ago, I quickly fell in love with their high-quality, coordinating products and loved creating with them.  Soon after, I became an Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator and discovered that I also enjoy sharing my paper crafting knowledge with others and inspiring their stamping creativity.

I would love to hear from you.  Don't hesitate to contact me if you want the latest catalogue, need papercraft supplies (we ship nationwide), wish to attend an upcoming event, or want information about joining my team.

Floral Delight Lots of Love Greeting Card

Today, I am CASE-ing the catalogue!  CASE is an acronym for Copy And Share Everything, and it's when you see something you want to recreate (in part or in whole) and then share your creation, giving credit to the original creator.  This stunning beauty using the Floral Delight Suite was created by one of the talented designers from Stampin' Up! and you can see the original on page 37 of the January-April 2025 Mini Catalogue.

Rainbow Celebration Kit

This fun-shaped card is one of the free products you can choose as part of the Sale-A-Bration promotion.  It's the Rainbow Celebration Kit, a bright and joyful all-inclusive card kit!

Friendly Seagulls Valentine's Day Card

So, I have been playing with some of the beautiful products offered in the Sale-A-Bration promotion.  I already shared the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper and Adhesive-Backed Sequins on a fun toadstool thank you card, but the stand-out Sale-A-Bration product (in my opinion) is the oh-so-cute Friendly Seagulls stamp set.

Terrific Toadstools Pop-Up Flip Thank You Card

The new mini catalogue is HERE - woohoo!  Today we welcome an inspirational collection of new products from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalogue.  This is hands-down my favourite catalogue release of the year and I am so excited to share it with you!  But wait, there's more...
