Sunflower Fields Folded Gift Pouch

What a wonderful way to spend a day! Last Friday, I welcomed friends to celebrate the arrival of the brand‑new September–December 2026 Catalogue. There’s something about seeing a new catalogue for the first time – the little gasps, the “ooh, I need that” moments – that never gets old for me. I had displays set up so everyone could see, touch and start dreaming up their own fun projects.

All Wrapped Up Sending Bundles of Love Card

It was the cool, soft tones of the All Wrapped Up 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper that connected with me and had to come home (aka it just jumped into my cart!). One of the cards pictured on pages 22–23 of the new September–December 2026 Catalogue will look quite similar to the project I am about to show you. It was the beginning inspiration, but then I added my own spin on this "sending bunches of love" greeting card…

Thinking of You Book-Fold Diagonal Easel Card

When I first saw the Thinking of You Bundle, I ummed and ahhed about purchasing it. But I am so pleased I got it! I'm in love with those beautiful die-cut words with their eclectic typography. They make such a bold feature on my Book-Fold Diagonal Easel Card.

Wishing you a Happy Father's Day!

Whether it's your dad, stepdad, grandad, uncle, or someone who's simply been there when it mattered, say thanks – today's the perfect day to do just that.

Here's to the men who show up, lead with love, and quietly shape who we become.

Ngā mihi me te aroha nui mō te Rā o Pāpā!
LOVE AND BEST WISHES FOR FATHER'S DAY!

Hello

about me

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.

Sweet Foliage Hot Foil Birthday Card

While I was at a recent demonstrator event, I had the chance to create this "Wishing You Comfort" card – one of the designs from the Floral Promenade Kit. Isn't that floral framing gorgeous? Paired with those bold, heartfelt words, it's such a beautiful way to let a card do the talking when words matter most.

Sunflower Fields Stepped Greeting Card

It's new Catalogue Day – woohoo! One of my favourite days on the crafting calendar, and I'm so thrilled to welcome the September–December 2026 Mini Catalogue into my crafting space.

Sweet Foliage Hot Foil Birthday Card

I think I used (almost) everything in my crafting space that's gold or gold-toned to create this stunning birthday card. It has layers upon layers with Gold Foil corners and cute flowers, Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brush laid over the Sweet Foliage background stamp, then finished with hot-foiled words.

Simply Leaves Book-Fold Diagonal Easel Father's Day Card

When is a card not a card? When it's two cards! This fabulous Father's Day card combines two complementary fun-fold designs to create serious wow-factor.
