Being part of Stampin’ Up! is a multifaceted thing. It’s not just about making cards and showing them to people, it’s about meeting new people, sharing a passion for crafting, chatting, making friends, getting over excited about deliveries (ahem, step away from my facebook page, nothing to see there!), and it’s about getting together with other demos for various events….

So many boxes, so little time! I love giving gifts to people. They could be my family, my children, a friend or a teacher. And I love beautiful wrapping and packaging. This isn’t a new shape box, 3×3 boxes are commonplace in the crafting world, but I wanted to make an actual miniature version of a pizza box. So after…

I love the This and That Epic Day designer series paper, and I love notebooks. I also quite like travelling around, and my bag is always overflowing with notebooks, pens and other stuff that really shouldn’t be shared here. I love the matchbook style of notebook, so I created a quick and easy method of making one of these…

It is instantly impactful, and showcases the cleverness of Stampin’ Up’s matching stamps and punches with the gorgeous Papillon Pot Pourri Stamp Set and the Elegant Butterfly punch. I love the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper, I reach for it…

Of our vast array of punches, I’ve chosen 20 that I have worked extensively with, and believe could meet all your needs and so many more. I…

For me, one of the best parts about working with paper is that moment when you create something bespoke for a friend. I adore creating, and going through the motions of writing out measurements and sums (who knew that maths, fractions and algebra would actually be useful!), then creating templates are all baby steps along the way to creating something…

Who doesn’t love a little gift that simply makes you smile. I know I do! And sometimes it’s nice to drop a little parcel in the post to a distant friend, or to leave something in the letter box of a neighbour, just to say you’re thinking of them. Or maybe you’re like me, and ridiculously organised and start thinking…

I decided I wanted to put together a stamp kit that will appeal to experienced stampers and new stampers alike. As soon as I saw this stamp set being used by another demonstrator in the US, I knew I had to have it, and I knew it would be the first of my Stamp Kit of the Month collections. Blooming…

I absolutely love working with Stampin’ Up! products, and clearly that enthusiasm is spilling over, because I’m delighted to announce that 3 (that’s THREE!!!) ladies have joined my team in the last 7 days! As soon as I can work out how (because I’m technically challenged!) I will be adding their links and details to my side bar. But I’m…
