Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars that rises in our midwinter and, for many, it heralds the start of the new year. You may know this cluster as the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters. This holiday and celebration is an opportunity for all people of Aotearoa to come together over a meal and reflect on the year that has passed, celebrate the present, and plan for the future.
Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki
Mānawa maiea te Mātahi o te tau

Sunday afternoon was bitter and wet, so I rugged up inside and played with some Stampin' Up! kits. It was the perfect way to spend a cold winter's day! This stunner is the Forever Friends Kit and it includes everything I needed to create these eight beautiful greeting cards...
I replicated the Box of Note Cards that I recently created, but instead of making it for a set of greeting cards, I altered the dimensions of the gift box to fit a Kit Kat chocolate bar.
OMG! I love, love, love the colours in the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper! They are bright and spring-like and yet have a softness about them. The imagery in this patterned paper pack and the coordinating Inked & Tiled stamp set features florals in a new way with pressed and inked flowers, leaves and other botanical elements. I have used these fun, new products and paired them with Lost Lagoon cardstock and ink to create a sweet slimline gift box...
The Earthen Elegance Suite on page 70 of the annual catalogue has a timeless beauty of natural tones and organic texture, with a hand-crafted feel. This is reflected in the lovely pottery and clay imagery in both the Earthen Textures Bundle and Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper, plus the raw finish of the Natural Wavy Trim. I have used all of these lovely products to create this gatefold thank you card...
I am in love with the cupcake in the Circle Sayings stamp set! It is so cute and so versatile for many occasions, like this cupcake birthday card that we created at the recent Annual Catalogue Launch Party...
How cute is this! We created this sweet greeting card at the Annual Catalogue Launch Party last week using the fabulous Little Monkey Bundle.
Last Friday we had a lot of fun welcoming the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue at my house! We created beautiful cards with new products, shared inspirational ideas, and played games for prizes!
