Hi there A couple of months ago my brothers eldest turned 21 and I forgot to blog the card I made for him! (I hadn’t downloaded it to the laptop). Most of us find masculine cards hard to create – try a ‘special’ birthday – that’s even harder. I happened to spot this design on… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve had a good weekend – ours has been rather social. On Friday night we (along with half of Onehunga) enjoyed the annual ‘lighting of the Christmas Tree’ in Jellicoe Park. It was great to see so many families enjoying their picnic dinners and enjoying the entertainment. At 9pm the lights… Read More »
Hi there This is the last of the ‘Z’ fold cards for now :). I taught this one along with Jacque and Kath at last month’s Creative Inkers Extravaganza and then again for a group of friends last week. It’s rather stunning in Black and White and has a few more layers than the other… Read More »
Hi there Here are some more samples I made using the ‘Z’ fold style from yesterday. This first one uses the All Ye Faithful set. I love the line art that you can colour in or leave blank if you wish – I used about 10 different colours to colour these images in! Supplies:Stamp Set… Read More »
Hi there We’ve made it to the last month for 2015! I haven’t even started thinking of Christmas shopping (I still have to finish my nephews present from last year! – bad aunt). This afternoon I finally got round to photographing a number of projects I created last month – now I need to blog… Read More »
Hi there A couple of months ago two of my wider team members met some amazing milestones in their Stampin’ Up! careers and I wanted to acknowledge them and what better way to do that than with a personalised handmade card – it’s what we do isn’t it 🙂 When I realised I didn’t have… Read More »
Hi there I started to clean my craft desk this afternoon but didn’t get very far – its now messier than when I started! I got waylaid and ended up creating a card and sorting some bits to make more tomorrow! Here’s a card I created a while ago using the Cherry on Top DSP… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve had a great day – I have :). This afternoon I got together with a lovely group of ladies and we made 5 projects – 3 cards and 2 boxes. I’ll try and take photos of them this weekend and share with you next week. As I’ve mentioned before my… Read More »
Hi there I’m feeling very relaxed after a week away at Owhango (between Taumaruni and National Park). We had a great time and did lots of walking and took heaps of photos. Now to get them printed and do my first Project Life album 🙂 Here’s a card I made a while ago that combines… Read More »
Hi there Here’s a card I made ages ago using three new products from the Holiday Catalogue – the Delicate Ornaments Thinlits, Versatile Christmas stamp set and the Curvy Corner Trio Punch. I die cut the ornament and then put it back in the cutout (I used the new Tear and Tape Adhesive to hold… Read More »
Hi there Last night Phil and I walked round to our local Ice Cream haunt – Ollies at Royal Oak. They have a huge selection of favours. A new one on the list is Lemon Cheesecake – it was SO yum. I think there may be more evening walks in that direction! These cards were… Read More »
Hi there This ‘lady of leisure’ has been slack again in the blogging department but I’ll think you’ll like todays post. Our neighbours son turned 3 last month and had a ‘Gruffalo’ themed birthday party. For those of you who don’t have young children and have never read a Gruffalo story book you need to… Read More »
Hi there It feels like summer has finally arrived – the weather has been so nice lately I haven’t wanted to be sitting in front of the computer hence the late blogging of my visit to the new Stampin’ Up! office last week. I had a lovely time with Emma and did remember to take… Read More »

This is the second card we made for card class last month using the Embellished Ornaments… Read More »
