Are you interested in coming to a creative class or event? I host various events, both card-making and memory-keeping, (daytime and night-time events) scheduled locally on the Sunshine Coast. I have also expanded my offerings to include online classes. If you need further information, contact me.
Bring along your basic kit for each class. Don’t have what you need? I will have adhesives on hand for purchase. If you need any Stampin’ Up! supplies, you can purchase them from my online store or contact me directly.
This is my upcoming Creative Class Calendar in date order – for further details regarding card-making classes and memory-keeping classes, check below.
To RSVP for any of these classes, message/text me or contact me. When you RSVP that you are coming, it is a commitment to attend the event. I will have prepared a class kit just for you. If due to unforeseen circumstances, you are unable to make the event, your kit will be provided (not including postage) to you for the cost of the class. Prepayment for all classes is required.

Let’s Create Together with Christine and Ann (Facebook and YouTube Livestream) – Free Online Cardmaking Class
Time: 10 am usually first Friday of the Month
Free Event on both Facebook and YouTube (live and on replay)
Let’s Create Together (with a little twist!)
If you’ve joined us for our monthly lives before, you know the drill: chat, craft, a bit of laughter, and usually a finished project at the end.
Well… 2026 is getting a little refresh.
Instead of just watching us have all the fun, we want you to create with us. And there will be another small change – our live sessions will be shorter too. Same creativity, same friendly catch-up, just a tighter, more focused session that fits more easily into your day.
A few days before each live, we’ll share the cutting measurements and a suggested supply list so you can be ready. You can prep ahead (very organised of you), or cut as we go during the live — totally your call.
Here’s where it gets interesting:
Christine and I will take turns leading Let’s Create Together Live! every other month. We’ll both be crafting live, but only the leader knows what the final project looks like. The other? Flying blind… just like you.
At the end, we’ll do a proper reveal and see how our projects compare. It would be fabulous if you shared your finished project with us.
Same time, same friendly vibe – just more participation, more creativity, and maybe a few “ohhh, I didn’t see that coming” moments.
We can’t wait to create with you – live or on replay – and read your comments as you craft along. Let’s make something fabulous together.
Here is just one of the many comments we have received:
Wanda: I watched your FB live with Christine. The cards you both made were both inspiring. And the cardmaking process was very fun and entertaining. I had lots of laughs. The two of you work so well together.
You can find our joint livestreams here:

Live on Facebook and YouTube 7 pm Every Wednesday Night
Time: 7 pm every Wednesday night
Location: Facebook and YouTube (under Live)
Cost: FREE
Projects: Each week, I showcase two or three projects demonstrating a technique, product or design. Each LIVE is full of tips, techniques, and all the Stampin’ Up! news and special offers. The projects are designed to be fun for both the novice and the experienced stamper. It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or an experienced stamper; you will love creating the projects I share.
It is the perfect time to gather together, connect again, and build your crafting knowledge and enjoyment. You can ask questions, check out what is trending, and just have fun. Join in!

Upcoming events – add to your calendar:
Sunday 4 October, 10 am–3.30 pm – Christmas Around the Craft Table – Christmas Cardmaking & Papercraft Special Event
There’s something rather special about sitting around a table with friends, some crafty goodies, a few Christmas supplies and plenty of time to create. Join us for a special Christmas cardmaking and papercraft class on the Sunshine Coast, suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters.
And this class is going to be just a little more special than usual.
My fabulously talented friend and fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Christine Josti from Mail Something Pretty, is coming all the way from Boston to the Sunshine Coast, and for one day we’re bringing our two craft tables together.
Christine and I will both be teaching as we make four Christmas projects together. I’m still finalising exactly what those projects will be, but this won’t simply be a day of making four Christmas cards. Think Christmas gifts, decorations, gift packaging and perhaps a card. Projects that are fun to make and useful to take home.
But really, this day is about more than the projects.
It’s a chance to spend the day crafting together, meet Christine after seeing her join me online many times from the other side of the world, enjoy a simple lunch and have plenty of laughs along the way.
Date: Sunday 4 October 2026
Time: 10.00 am–3.30 pm
Cost: $47 – four Christmas projects, tuition and a simple lunch included. Prepayment is required to reserve your spot.
Location: My in-home studio, Kawana Island (Parrearra), Sunshine Coast
RSVP & Prepayment: By 20 September 2026, but don’t delay as classes are booking quickly.
What to Bring: Your class kit, including a paper trimmer with scoring blade, small stapler with staples, Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Dimensionals, tape runner, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Tear & Tape, ruler and pencil, eraser and sharp paper snips. (This list may be updated as we get closer to the event.)
If your adhesives run out mid-class frenzy (it happens to the best of us), no worries. I’ll have some on hand to purchase. If you’re new to crafting and don’t have your own supplies yet, a basic class kit can be provided for use on the day for just $6.
Crafting is always more fun with a friend! If you bring along a friend who hasn’t attended one of my classes before, you’ll both receive a little gift from me on the day.
Ready to join us?
