Sunflower Fields Stepped Greeting Card

It's new Catalogue Day – woohoo! One of my favourite days on the crafting calendar, and I'm so thrilled to welcome the September–December 2026 Mini Catalogue into my crafting space.

Sweet Foliage Hot Foil Birthday Card

I think I used (almost) everything in my crafting space that's gold or gold-toned to create this stunning birthday card. It has layers upon layers with Gold Foil corners and cute flowers, Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brush laid over the Sweet Foliage background stamp, then finished with hot-foiled words.

Simply Leaves Book-Fold Diagonal Easel Father's Day Card

When is a card not a card? When it's two cards! This fabulous Father's Day card combines two complementary fun-fold designs to create serious wow-factor.

Moonlit Flora Fun Fold Card

The international Creativity Abounds Design Team are sharing again – and this month brings back a firm favourite: Fun Folds! It's the third time we've tackled this theme since I joined the team just over a year ago, and I don't think that novelty will ever wear off for me – there's something so satisfying about a card that does more than just open and close.

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.

Inked Floret Thank You Note Card

I have seen a few cards with this design because it is quick, simple, and so elegant! I used the absolutely stunning Inked Floret stamp set as the perfect background…

Violet Dreams Pop-Up Fun-Fold Card

I loved creating the Valley In Bloom Pop-Up Card, so I recreated this fun fold design using some of the fabulous products in the Violet Dreams Suite. How stunning is that intense floral patterned paper?! The Secret Sea background beautifully offsets the pink and purple Violets.

Summer Happiness Notepad Gift Set

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of heading to Christchurch to join other New Zealand demonstrators for a fabulous time of networking, learning, and crafting together. Four of my wonderful team members also joined me there, and I made each of them a small gift...
