"A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act."
- Mahatma Gandhi
May you celebrate Easter with joy, sharing this message of love with friends and family.
Ngā mihi o te Aranga
HAPPY EASTER!
Have you tried the Everyday Arches Dies yet? These layered arches are perfect for any occasion and can be utilised in various projects. I previously shared a bright, floral thank-you card featuring one of the arches as a background. This time, I have combined the arch dies with the coordinating Arched Wishes stamp set to craft a classic black-and-white birthday card accented with a touch of pink!

The Storybook Friends Bundle and the coordinating Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper feature cute critters that seem to have leapt from the pages of Peter Rabbit, making them ideal for creating this adorable Easter gift bag.
I was creating a fun birthday card using the fabulous Painted Stripes background stamp and started experimenting with second-generation stamping. The result is a more subtle watercolour striped background on this oh-so-simple thank-you note card.

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.

Here is another beautiful greeting card featuring the Delightful Wishes Bundle. In fact, we used nearly everything in the Floral Delight Suite on this card, the exception being the pretty floral vellum.
On Sunday we held our first Hamilton Extravaganza of the year. Everyone enjoyed making five beautiful projects with new products and techniques. This is one of them, a lovely greeting card using the Delightful Wishes Bundle to create a fun vellum window card.
At the beginning of this month, we had the March Online Exclusives product release—there are so many new, beautiful products to choose from! The Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper in the background of this thank you card, the die-cut arch, and the stunning watercoloured flowers from the Mixed Florals Bundle are all found in the Online Exclusives.
Just take a moment to admire the watercolour striped background on this birthday card. It's surprisingly easy to create with the stunning Painted Stripes background stamp, now available in the March Online Exclusives product release.
