Twice a year Stampin’ Up! put on an event (OnStage) for demonstrators in each market with one market hosting a live event. Well in April this year New Zealand gets to host the live event. This is a first… Read More »

Hi there Yesterday I shared with you my first eclipse card using the Night in Bethlehem stamp set. Today I have my second eclipse Card except this time I used the lovely Share What You Love DSP instead of stamping. It was a super quick card to make and very effective with the paper. This… Read More »
Hi there We had a ‘fun’ morning here in Auckland – a storm passed through with amazing thunder, lightning and rain. I was glad I’d already reached the office before the heavens opened. And what a transformation by the evening – sunny and warm. Now that’s Auckland weather for you. Today’s post is a project… Read More »

Hi there A couple of weeks ago I held a workshop and taught two projects featuring products from the Holiday Catalogue. The first project features the Country Lane Suite. I used the Country Home stamp set, Tin Tile Embossing Folder and the Chicken Wire Elements to create the Notecard & Envelope samples below. After the… Read More »
Hi there I’m back with the second project we made at our team training last month. I don’t do Halloween but I’ve learnt from past Holiday Catalogues not to skip over the Halloween section as there are products in this section that can be used for non Halloween projects. Did you see the Black Foil… Read More »
Hi there Today is Mother’s Day in New Zealand – a day when we honour our Mother’s (and all women) for the amazing contribution they make to our lives. I am very fortunate that my Mum only lives a few minutes away and we get to see and talk to each other all the time. … Read More »

The front has lovely layers and details using a number of products and techniques. First up the Whisper White base has some masking done with the Decorative Masks and Embossing Paste. I… Read More »
Hi there I’m not sure about you but I always struggle with feeling more tired in the first week when coming off daylight saving – even though it’s only one hour different. Hopefully the body clock gets back to normal :). As part of my presentation at Stamp Camp I created some 3D projects. I… Read More »
Hi there I love the Note Cards and Envelopes from the Annual Catalogue – they make for a quick and easy project and bundled together they make a great gift. I hope you’ve spotted our new Narrow Note Cards & Envelopes on page 19 of the Occasions Catalogue – they are really cute. I’ve combined… Read More »
Hi there Here’s a card I created earlier this year and forgot to share it with you. It was for a friends son who turned 12 – I don’t have many stamp sets suitable for this age but knowing he’s into music I borrowed the set Country Livin’ from a friend. The card base is… Read More »
Hi there Birthdays, birthdays and more birthdays. Today is a very popular day for birthdays in our family. It’s my Mum’s birthday and Phil’s twin uncles birthdays. Not only do they share the same day but also the same year – so that actually makes them triplets 🙂 Happy birthday to three very special people.… Read More »
Hi there A couple of weeks ago a family friend of ours celebrated his 60th birthday. ‘0’ birthdays are special ones and therefore require a special card. I’d seen a card created by Jackie Aitken (an Australian Demo) and I just had to CASE it. It uses the new Apron of Love Builder Framelits from… Read More »
