Over the weekend, I had the privilege of heading to Christchurch to join other New Zealand demonstrators for a fabulous time of networking, learning, and crafting together. Four of my wonderful team members also joined me there, and I made each of them a small gift...

Bundles: Summer Happiness Stamp Set + Summer Happiness Dies (photopolymer: 167124).  Ink: Coastal Cabana (147097).  Card/Paper: Daffodil Delight (121680), Basic White (166781), Beautiful Ordinary Life 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (167553). Accessories: Summer Happiness Washi Tape (168125), Array of Dots (167559).  Tools: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (149653), Spotlight on Nature Dies (163580), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430).

Summer Happiness Washi Tape (168125) - $34.00
One Roll: 10 yards (9.1 m), 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) wide

How bright and fun is that?! I used Daffodil Delight cardstock, the hexagon patterned paper from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper pack, and finished it with die-cut elements from the Summer Happiness Washi Tape.

I adhered the super-cute washi tape to Basic White cardstock and die-cut out the sunglasses, pineapple, and camera, sticking to the yellow and blue colour palette. I then added the stamped "Fun in the sun" sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink and finished with a scattering of Pool Party embellishments from the Array of Dots.

This sweet little notepad gift set, complete with a pen tucked in the spine...

... and a cute spiral-bound notepad inside. Perfect for taking notes at the demonstrator gathering!

Sharing the weekend with my team was such a lovely reminder of why I love what I do — it's not just about cardstock and ink; it's about the friendships that grow alongside it. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be part of a crafting community like ours, I'd love to have a chat — no pressure, just a conversation. You can find out more details HERE.
