Have you taken a peek at the new Online Exclusive products released today? You might just discover a new favourite — or spot something you missed from earlier releases, like the beautiful Lovely Blossoms Suite from January.
Last week we celebrated one of my favourite releases of the year with a Mini Catalogue Launch Party — and what a fun day it was! The January–April 2026 Mini Catalogue is packed with stunning products, and there’s nothing quite like seeing them in real life. As gorgeous as the catalogue photography is (huge kudos to the Stampin’ Up! creative team), these products truly shine when you can see, touch, and play with them. Here’s a little snapshot of the day and some of the displays we enjoyed.

Fun folds are one of my favourite ways to add a little wow to a handmade card — that moment when the card opens and surprises you never gets old! So I’m thrilled to be joining the Creativity Abounds Design Team this month as we share a brand-new Fun Folds Tutorial Bundle, packed with creative folds, clever techniques, and plenty of inspiration.
Happy Valentine’s Day 🥰
Today feels like the perfect time to say thank you for being part of my creative world. Your support, kindness, and encouragement truly mean the world to me.
Nui te aroha ki a koe!
MUCH LOVE TO YOU!
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.

Have you tried a Stampin’ Up! kit lately? I opened the Adventure Awaits Card Kit yesterday and had so much fun creating nine gorgeous cards (three of each design). Take a look at these beauties…
A week ago, I hosted our bi-monthly Scrapbooking Escape, and at the January event we created with the fabulous Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. It was such a fun, relaxed day of creativity! Today I’m sharing one of the three double-page layouts I completed.
Today we mark Waitangi Day, commemorating the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi) on 6 February 1840. It is a day that holds both celebration and significance — a time to reflect on our shared history, recognise the ongoing journey of Te Tiriti, and consider what it continues to mean for Aotearoa New Zealand today.
Ko ngā pae tawhiti whāta kia tata, ko ngā pae tata, whakamaua kia tina.
Let us bring distant horizons closer, and strengthen what is already within reach.
Today is release day for the February Product of the Month, and while I don’t have the Painted Illusions 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper in my hands just yet, I have been happily creating with the January Product of the Month, which is still available while supplies last. The Fabulous Sayings stamp set stole my heart straight away — those large, handwritten script sentiments are just gorgeous, so naturally, they became the star of this birthday card.
