Hi there Sorry that it’s been a bit quiet here – I ended up coming down with a sore throat that developed into a throat infection and I haven’t been feeling like getting out the computer. Thankfully now the antibiotics have kicked in and I’m feeling heaps better 🙂 This card was made for a… Read More »

Hi there When the Occasions Catalogue was first released I totally discounted the ‘That’s the Tag’ bundle on page 23. That was until my downline gave me some sample tags. It was then added to my next order. This bundle is so much better in real life. I had fun using one of the dies… Read More »
Hi there Last night I held the last of my March card classes so now I can share what we made. At our Stamp Camp last month one of the teachers showed us a card that used the Black Magic technique. I had never tried this technique so decided to give it a go. This… Read More »

Hi there I really like the Special Reason bundle (stamp set and framelits) in the Occasions Catalogue. The images are great and so are the sentiments. Some of the sentiments are ‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Congratulations’ and a really cool one ‘There’s no special reason for this card …’ ‘…except to let you know how special you are!’… Read More »
Hi there I had a play the other day with the new glimmer paper that is part of the Sale-A-Bration FREE products range – it is so nice. It comes in 6″ x 6″ sheets and you get four sheets of three colours – Sweet Sugarplum, Mint Macaron and Bermuda Bay. For this card I’ve… Read More »

For these cards I’ve used the Number of Years stamp set and coordinating Large Number Frameltis. My colour combination is Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Rich… Read More »
Hi there Well I am now a qualified First Aider for the next two years :). It’s always good to have this training and thankfully I haven’t needed to use it in real life. January through to March is Sale-A-Bration time at Stampin’ Up! For every NZD$110 you spend during this time you get to… Read More »
Hi there Back again with some more creations from last month. Do you have stamp sets you haven’t used for awhile? I do and Celebrate Today is one of them. So off the shelf it came and got re-introduced to ink 🙂 I needed two cards so created the same design but swapped the colours… Read More »
Hi there I had hoped to post this earlier this evening but we decided last minute to go and see ‘Rouge One’ – the latest Star Wars movie – it was great. One of my favourite stamp sets in the new Occasions Catalogue is a set called ‘Beautiful You’. It’s an outline stamp that you can… Read More »
Hi there and Happy New Year The weather here in Auckland hasn’t exactly been ‘summer’ weather – especially yesterday – but it was a good crafting day. I have a number of birthday cards to make this month so a colour challenge was just what I needed to make a dent. There’s a new challenge… Read More »
