How cute is this card!  I have used the Just My Type stamp set (no typewriter in sight!) and the versatile Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper to create a fun-sized "for you" note card...

How cute are the characters in the Bird's Eye View stamp set!  I love how you can change their personality just by adding fun glasses...

Meet the versatile and vibrant Colorful Kaleidoscope Kit - an all-inclusive card kit that makes nine stunning cards... 

On Sunday we held the second of three Hamilton Extravaganzas for this year, which featured some of the beautiful new colours and products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue.  This is my project from the day using the fabulous Circle Sayings Bundle and Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper to create a 2-4-6-8 Fun Fold Card.

I have paired two of my current favourites from the annual catalogue... the cute Just My Type stamp set and the lovely Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper.  I have used them to create this Swinging Easel fun fold card...

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars that rises in our midwinter and, for many, it heralds the start of the new year.  You may know this cluster as the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters.  This holiday and celebration is an opportunity for all people of Aotearoa to come together over a meal and reflect on the year that has passed, celebrate the present, and plan for the future.

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

Sunday afternoon was bitter and wet, so I rugged up inside and played with some Stampin' Up! kits.  It was the perfect way to spend a cold winter's day!  This stunner is the Forever Friends Kit and it includes everything I needed to create these eight beautiful greeting cards...

I replicated the Box of Note Cards that I recently created, but instead of making it for a set of greeting cards, I altered the dimensions of the gift box to fit a Kit Kat chocolate bar.
