I’ve been playing with one of my favourite suites from the annual catalogue—Boho Vibes! This vibrant and eclectic suite is packed with creative possibilities, and today I’m sharing a fun-fold card that gives a playful twist to the rainbow motif.
I was recently fortunate to attend this year’s Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip* in sunny Orlando, Florida—an unforgettable experience! One of the exciting reveals during the event was a first look at products from the July Online Exclusives release. Alongside catching up with fellow demonstrators, I had the chance to admire beautiful display boards showcasing these soon-to-be-released goodies. One project in particular, created with the brand-new Painterly Pears Suite, immediately caught my eye. The soft colour palette, delicate blossoms, and repeated pear motif were just too lovely to ignore—I knew I had to recreate it.
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.

In my last post, I mentioned how wonderfully eclectic the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper is—and this card is a perfect example! The bold print on the card front feels like a delightful mix of paisley and floral vines, creating a unique and eye-catching thank you card.
The Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper features elegant, earthy tones, with each sheet showcasing a gallery-worthy pattern that stands on its own. For this project, I selected the stunning hand-painted floral portrait and highlighted its soft green hues to create a gentle “just a note” card—perfect for expressing heartfelt thanks or offering comfort.
Matariki marks a special moment in Aotearoa’s calendar — the rising of a cluster of stars that signals the Māori New Year. Known also as the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters, Matariki invites us to pause: to remember those who came before us, to appreciate the present, and to set intentions for the year ahead.
Whether you're gathering with loved ones, preparing a special meal, or simply taking time to reflect, may this season of Matariki bring you warmth, connection, and inspiration.
Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki
Mānawa maiea te Mātahi o te tau
Celebrate the rising of Matariki
Celebrate the rising of the New Year
We created two projects at the recent Annual Catalogue Launch Party. One featured the playful new Sweet Jar Bundle, and this second project is a beautiful friendship card made with the fabulous Feathered Friends stamp set.
