Texture Chic Peekaboo Treat Bags

One of the joys of large events is creating a small gift for each of my guests.  For the recent Hamilton Extravaganza, I used the cute Peekaboo Treat Bags, decorated them with products from the Texture Chic Suite, and filled them with gold-foil-wrapped caramel lollies...

Texture Chic Tri-Fold Card

On Sunday, we held the Hamilton Extravaganza.  This full-day event is run three times a year and this time around we had nine Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who collaborated to put on this fun day of inspiration, crafting, and meeting new friends.

Splendid Thoughts Slimline Let's Celebrate Card

I am enjoying playing with the gorgeous Splendid Thoughts stamp set and coordinating Splendid Stems Dies from the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalogue.  This one is a slimline card with a very soft colour palette and I used the new Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to give it some beautiful, leafy background texture.

Splendid Thoughts Floating Circle Card

I have paired the Splendid Day Suite from the mini catalogue with the Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes from Sale-A-Bration to create this fun card using the Floating Circle Technique...

Hues of Happiness Post-It Note Holder

Two things I love... (1) showing both sides of the designer paper on a project and (2) creating something pretty to display.  This is why I love, love, love these Post-It Note Holders that were created using the Happiness Abounds Bundle and the coordinating Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper.

Splendid Thoughts Pinwheel Tower Card

Last week I made a very special birthday card for my daughter who has just turned 19.  I created a Pinwheel Tower Card and played with the gorgeous Splendid Thoughts Bundle and Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper from the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalogue.

No Matter the Weather All-Inclusive Card Kit

I have been playing with kits again!  This time I created the nine beautiful cards from the No Matter the Weather Card Kit.  This DIY kit plays on rainy days and springtime blooms with gumboots, umbrellas, and encouraging friendship-themed greetings.

Mānawatia a Matariki | Celebrating Matariki

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars that rises in midwinter and, for many Māori, heralds the start of the new year.  It is an opportunity for all people of Aotearoa to come together 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
