Make and Create/Card and a Cuppa - Help me Grow - 25.3.2026



This week’s “Make and Create/Card and a Cuppa” card we played with the Help me Grow bundle and some left overs from the Extraordinary Flora washi tape. 

The new Help me Grow bundle is available in my online store and the dies alone are fantastic to use.

Make it Monday - Gears & Textures and technique - 23.3.2026



“Make it Monday” today was all about getting a little messy and a whole lot creative! 
We played with a couple of techniques to create a real grungy-style card using the Gears & Textures and Banner Sayings bundles.

Shaving cream and heat embossing are such fabulous techniques for adding texture and that perfectly imperfect grunge look. I just love how this one turned out!

Business Update



πŸ’› Business Update πŸ’›

A little update from me and my crafting journey 

With some beautiful life changes happening (more family time and precious grandbaby moments πŸ₯°), I’ll be gently shifting the direction of my little creative business.

This means that my in-person classes will be coming to an END, April will be my last in-person class, but I’m not going anywhere!

Here’s what is continuing (and growing!):
⭐️Weekly live videos
⭐️Monthly online classes
⭐️“Make & Create” kits with orders over $60

And I’m excited to introduce:

🟒 Paper Pumpkin Kit subscriptions starting April. (More details to come). 
🟒 Catalogue launch workshops with each Stampin’ Up! release of their 3 catalogues. 
🟒 A new Customer Appreciation Gift – a FREE PDF tutorial + exclusive private YouTube video featuring 4 projects with orders over $100 (starting May).

I’m truly excited about this new direction and the flexibility it brings, and I hope you’ll continue to join me on this journey.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support—it means the world to me. πŸ’•
