There are so many special moments in life worth celebrating — from welcoming a new baby to weddings, anniversaries, and everything in between.  Handmade cards make those moments even more meaningful, so I’m delighted to be joining the Creativity Abounds Design Team this month as we share our Life Events Tutorial Bundle.

Last week I had an amazing three days in Sydney, attending our demonstrator-only annual conference, OnStage — a wonderful time spent learning, creating, exchanging ideas, reconnecting with international friends, and making some wonderful new ones too.

A couple of my team members joined me for the event, so I made each of them a small gift to celebrate our time together.  I used the elegant new Delicate Dreams Suite to decorate and personalise a notebook for each of them — not just a practical gift, but a beautiful one too!

Whether you’re creating masculine or feminine cards for any occasion, you can bring an organic feel to your projects with the oh-so-versatile Nature Walk Suite.  I’ve used the rich, distressed patterned paper from the Nature’s Walk 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper as the launching point for this masculine birthday card.

How beautiful is the Lovely & Beautiful Suite?!  Not only are the specialty patterned papers a-ma-zing with gorgeous colours and stunning metallic gold-foil accents, but the Simply Beautiful Bundle creates truly traffic-stopping, luscious blooms!

At the recent Mini Catalogue Launch Party, we had fun playing with some of the new products and created two sweet projects together.  The first was an elegant greeting card using the Lovely Blossoms Suite.  Today I’m sharing the second project—a pretty note card featuring the adorable Woolly Friends Bundle.

Have you taken a peek at the new Online Exclusive products released today?  You might just discover a new favourite — or spot something you missed from earlier releases, like the beautiful Lovely Blossoms Suite from January.

Last week we celebrated one of my favourite releases of the year with a Mini Catalogue Launch Party — and what a fun day it was!  The January–April 2026 Mini Catalogue is packed with stunning products, and there’s nothing quite like seeing them in real life.  As gorgeous as the catalogue photography is (huge kudos to the Stampin’ Up! creative team), these products truly shine when you can see, touch, and play with them.  Here’s a little snapshot of the day and some of the displays we enjoyed.

Fun folds are one of my favourite ways to add a little wow to a handmade card — that moment when the card opens and surprises you never gets old!  So I’m thrilled to be joining the Creativity Abounds Design Team this month as we share a brand-new Fun Folds Tutorial Bundle, packed with creative folds, clever techniques, and plenty of inspiration.
