About Me

My photo
I live in Wattle Grove NSW and I'm married to a great guy. We have 3 fur-babies, Abbey the Dachshund x, Benny the Maltese x, and Chocco the cat. I am addicted to card making, scrap booking, and OTP's... basically anything papercrafty! I'm also a mixed media wannabe. I've been card making for the last 20+yrs and never thought it would last this long! I'm also a Stampin' Up! demo. We move all over the Country and have lived in 6 states in last 13yrs!

Periscope Update

Hi lovelies,

Download the Periscope app on your smart phone!

As you all know, I stumbled across Periscope a little while back and it quickly became my new obsession. Periscope helped me gain confidence to finally get in front of the camera to record the happenings of Crozlow Crafts. It also helped me connect with fellow crafters and demonstrators from all over the world!

At one stage I was using Katch to save my Periscopes to watch after the 24hr expiry time but Katch closed down. I am very pleased to announce that Periscope has FINALLY added the save function to their application so my future scopes will permanently be available to view, WOO HOO!

As for my previous scopes, I was able to import them to YouTube before Katch closed down and you can view them all here. Just keep in mind that the Periscope interaction (comments and hearts) didn't go across to YouTube so it looks like I am talking to myself!

Once you download the Periscope application, search for crozlowcrafts or click this link to take you straight to my profile.

I quickly scoped while I was in Hawaii, so you can check that out when you visit my profile.

Until next time, happy scoping!

Aloha lovelies!

It sure is great to be home, but I think I left a little part of me in Waikiki, Hawaii! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸπŸ πŸŒ΄πŸŒΊ☀️ I had a wonderful time away in Singapore and Hawaii, but it's now back to reality. 

Today is a very exciting day... the 2016-2017 catalogue is now LIVE! Can I just tell you how gorgeous everything is! I'm in love with how fun, fresh, funky & on trend the new products are! Have you got a copy of the new catalogue yet? If not, please feel free to contact me and I will send one your way ASAP (for Australian residents only). Here is an online copy for those who just cannot wait for their hard copy!

2016 OnStage Swaps

Hi all!

It's finally arrived... Stampin' Up OnStage! Tomorrow I will be at the Hilton Hotel Sydney with a stack of other demos and SU staff. It's a time where I get to meet up with fellow demos from around Australia and share creative ideas and also participate in some training. We also get a sneak peek at upcoming catalogues and products (which is so exciting).

Each year I create "swaps" to exchange with other demos. In return I get all different ideas. Swapping is one of my favourite things to do as I get to meet and catch up with others and bring home so many new ideas and creations. Stay tuned for a blog post soon showing my swaps I get in return!

Mini hand cream holders
These are super simple to create. Start with a piece of cardstock (I used 2014-2016 In Colors) measuring 8 ¼ inches x 2 inches and fold in half at 4 ⅛ inch mark. Next, use the Scallop Tag Topper Punch on either end. I then used matching ink to stamp a couple of images from Flowering Flourishes on each side. I slotted the mini hand cream in and secured at the bottom with a staple using our Mini Stapler. Finally, I tied both ends together with a bow using Cotton Ribbon (I used Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, and Daffodil Delight).


I love a good production line
I can't wait to tell you more about OnStage, but we are sworn to secrecy until Tuesday 19th April! Stay tuned for exciting new info coming soon.

Until next time, happy crafting!

#mattschallenge


Hello hello!

It's time for another #mattschallenge. My husband loves to inspire me to step outside the box or my comfort zone. He'll often grab an ink, a punch/framelit and stamp set and issue "Matts Challenge!". He'd love to extend that challenge to everyone and left us a post it note with his challenge on my craft desk this morning.

If you missed the previous challenge, you can find my blog post here

Here's my Periscope/Katch explaining it all.


Balloon Celebration stamp
* Rose Red Ink
* 1" square punch
* Washi tape - any

If you don't have these particular items, you can substitute any of them for what you own in your stash. It does not have to be Stampin' Up products either.



To enter #mattschallenge, you can create a blog post, post on Twitter/Instagram and tag @crozlowcrafts in the posts, or post on my FB page. Don't forget to use the hashtag! The challenge closes end of the weekend (wherever you may be)!

I will edit this post once I have completed my creation and with those who entered the challenge.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Party Wishes Cards

Hi crafters!

As soon as I saw the It's My Party Suite in the Occasions Catalogue, I fell in love. I just adore the bright colours, the fun images and the pretty patterns. I have CASE'd pages 3, 4 & 5 from the catty to create three cards. The last card was CASE'd from Cardiology by Jari

I created all 4 cards on Periscope, you can watch the replays here on my Katch channel.


Until next time, happy creating!
