My Convention Swaps

This was my main design for convention swaps.











I made 70 of these!











I aslo made 30 native bird cards for my fellow conventioners

My Stationery set class

Some examples of the things we made at this class. The original design was by Jackie Topia but I designed the box to accommodate the Stampin' Up envelopes. The cards, tags etc were designed by me.

New Zealand Native Birds

Inspired by Lynn Pratt , who has designed some gorgeous American Native birds using the fabulous 2 step bird punch (available in the Autumn-winter mini catalogue), I decide to go ahead and design some New Zealand native birds. And I taught 3 of these.


My Tui











My Yellowhammer











My Fantail










My Sparrow











If you would like to attend a design class to make these cards, please email me:)
