The recent Catalogue Launch Party was such a wonderful day of creativity, laughter, and a first look at the brand-new May–August 2026 Catalogue and beautiful 2026–2028 In Colors!

To all the mothers, grandmothers, stepmums, mother-figures, and nurturing hearts — today is for you.

Whether you’re celebrating surrounded by family, remembering someone dearly missed, or simply taking a quiet moment for yourself today, I hope you feel appreciated, loved, and celebrated.

Ngā mihi me te aroha nui mō te Rā o Māmā!  
LOVE AND BEST WISHES FOR MOTHER’S DAY!

It’s here — New Catalogue Day! 🎉 One of the most exciting days on the crafting calendar, and I’m so thrilled to welcome the May–August 2026 Catalogue.  It’s filled with gorgeous coordinating suites, fresh new stamp sets, and a beautiful mix of colours just waiting to be played with.

Did you know about the perfect coordination between the Greenery Lane Bundle and Greenery Lane Washi Tape?  Not only do the beautiful images in the stamp set and delicate watercolour leaves on the washi tape coordinate, but the leaf and branch dies can cut both—how clever is that!

Here in New Zealand, we enjoyed a long weekend — the perfect excuse to break open my recently arrived Paper Pumpkin Kit!  This one is the Lakeside Retreat Kit, and it is fabulous, with outdoor-inspired imagery that works beautifully for masculine and gender-neutral greeting cards for all sorts of occasions.

Today, on ANZAC Day, we pause to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of all New Zealanders and Australians who have served their countries in war, conflict, and peacekeeping operations.  This day marks the anniversary of the landing of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli in 1915, and has become a time to reflect on all who gave so much in the service of others.

We remember those who lost their lives, those who returned changed forever, and those who continue to serve today.

Lest we forget.
We will remember them.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and I have a lovely card idea to share with you—featuring the stunning Pop-Up Petals Bundle paired with the soon-to-retire Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.

Creating bright, playful projects for children is always so much fun, so I’m excited to be joining the Creativity Abounds Design Team this month as we share our Kids Projects Tutorial Bundle.
