I hope today finds you surrounded by the people you love, sharing time, laughter, and the simple joys that make Christmas so special.  As we pause in the busyness of the season, may your heart be full of gratitude for the moments that matter most.

May you know the peace, hope, and love of the One whose birth we celebrate today, and may that light carry with you into the year ahead.

Meri Kirihimete!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

When you need a larger-than-life Christmas card for work colleagues or a card that the whole family can sign, this one fits the brief perfectly!  This oversized Christmas card is also the ideal way to show off the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder in all its glory.

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.

The Creativity Abounds Design Team is back with a brand-new collection of creative inspiration!  Each month, our international group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators comes together to design a themed tutorial bundle, and for December, we’re celebrating Birthdays — because birthday cards are always in style.

My 2025 Christmas cards are officially done!  The Pōhutukawa—often called the New Zealand Christmas Tree—was the perfect inspiration for these festive cards, created using the Branching Out Bundle and Jolly Delivery stamp set.

I love when a workshop project lines up perfectly with old family memories—like this layout from the Keeping Traditions Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, filled with photos from our extended family’s Boxing Day brunch way back in 2003.  A little slice of history preserved on paper.

Look what we got up to on Saturday!  This is one of the layouts we created at the November Scrapbooking Escape using the fabulous Keeping Traditions Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.  It’s one of the three double-page layouts we completed on the day, and it was such a fun one to put together.
