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 I’ve been having issues with the photo editing software I use and have had to change software – so we are now back in business and I can share my recent creations. Yesterday was Father’s Day here in New Zealand. I am very fortunate to still have my dad around and be able… Read More »
Hi there Just a quick post tonight – last month was my husbands birthday and here is the card I made for him. I had actually made it back in February at our Creative Inkers Stamp Camp. This cool card was taught to us by Rhonda Fawcett and uses product from the now retired True… 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 We all end up with off cuts of DSP and I never want to throw them out – I always think “I’ll use that one day”. Well I finally had a ‘one day’ :). They’ve ended up on the card below which is now ready to post. The card base is Early Espresso… Read More »
Hi there As mentioned earlier I have a number of masculine birthday cards to create this month so here’s another card I made that is similar to yesterday’s design. The card base is Basic Black that is hinged at the top rather than the side.I I then added a Sahara Sand layer that measures 10cm… Read More »

Hi there Most of us find it hard creating masculine cards but the True Gentleman Suite in the current Occasions Catalogue makes this task easy. This suite includes a stamp set, DSP, a punch, embellishments and ribbon. My first card using this suite incorporates the stamp set, DSP and punch and is based on a swap… Read More »
Hi there Last night I held the last of my monthly card classes so now I can share with you what they made. Masculine cards always seem to stump us so this month I’ve made two masculine cards to add to our repertorie. First up is a ‘Pull Tab’ card that features the new Circle… Read More »

Hi there Last Friday was my husbands birthday (it was also my birthday – yes we share the same day but different years). For ages I’ve resisted buying the Guy Greetings stamp set – I just can’t get past the image of the old fashioned boxer – but I finally succumbed to purchasing it. I… 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 Friends of ours have the same birthday so here are the cards I made for them. I made another card using the Sweet Cupcake stamp set except this time in a different colour combo. I’ve gone with Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride and Watermelon Wonder for the ‘topping’ and the ‘base’ is Sahara Sand,… Read More »
Hi there One of the ladies from the Stampin’ Up! Home Office shared a post about a special boy who is having a birthday next month and asked if some of us could send him a birthday card. This is one of the great things about card making and the Stampin’ Up! wider family. We… Read More »
Hi there It’s not long till the Holiday Catalogue will be with us. If you haven’t received a copy yet please let me know and I’ll send one out. I was inspired by a card Tina Rappe shared on one of the groups I belong to that I had to have a go and recreate… Read More »
