WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING...

Today we celebrate Mother’s Day in many parts of the world.  Call your mum to let her know how much you appreciate her bringing you into the world.  Reach out to that significant mother-figure in your life and let her know the impact she has had.  And remember and celebrate those who have passed. 

Ngā mihi me te aroha nui mō te Rā o Māmā!
LOVE AND BEST WISHES FOR MOTHER'S DAY!

It's here, it's here, IT'S HERE! The fabulous 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue has arrived!  I love New Catalogue Day with new coordinating products and suites, yummy new stamp sets, and sumptuous new colours!

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.

This idea was born out of wanting to create an amply-sized gift box that resembled a garage or workshop, with tools on a pegboard wall and workbench space.  I think I nailed it (hehe pun intended).

I love the neutral tones and gold highlights that feature in the Nature's Sweetness Suite.  I have used this stunning bundle to create a diagonal double-pocket card, just in time for Mother's Day!

Here is something for all paper-crafting home décor lovers... the Happy Houseplants Kit!  These pretty 6" x 6" (15.2 cm x 15.2 cm) framed plants are fun to create and look amazing hanging on the wall or standing on a display.  This one (of four) is my favourite because of the bright plant pot and variegated leaves.

Are you looking for a simple but elegant thank you card?  Then look no further.  This pretty one-layer note card incorporates blending through a custom mask with layered stamping using the Painted Lavender and Perennial Postage Bundles...
