Cute as a Bug Paperclip Bookmark

This month is extra special because the talented Creativity Abounds Design Team has come together to bring you a brand-new online Stamp Camp!  Held just three times a year, this event is a real highlight—and this time, it’s all centred around the utterly adorable Cute as a Bug Suite.

Made With Love Treat Bag & Card

The Hearts Gusseted Treat Bags feature a delicate red heart pattern on a crisp white background—perfect for adding a soft pop of colour.  For this Valentine treat bag, I used a Blending Brush to create a gentle ombré effect with Strawberry Slush ink, giving the bag a warm, romantic feel.

Cute as a Bug Hello Friend Note Cards

How would you like to create twenty cute greeting cards in one sitting?  It’s surprisingly easy when you pair the adorable Cute as a Bug Suite with Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes.

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.

Made With Love Envelope Anniversary Card

The gorgeous new Made With Love Suite from the January–April 2026 Mini Catalogue is so much more than Valentine’s Day.  It’s perfect for weddings, anniversaries, and heartfelt “just because” cards — any occasion where you want to share a little love and let someone know you’re thinking of them.  Speaking of anniversaries…

Made With Love Gusseted Treat Bags

Today is one of my favourite crafting days — the January–April 2026 Mini Catalogue has officially arrived, and it’s packed with fresh ideas, gorgeous designs, and plenty of creative inspiration to kick off the new year.

Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Ngā mihi o te tau hou!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A New Year is a blank page.  Add colour, add stories, add what makes you smile.  Your year, your creation.
