Cute Card for Little Boy ~ Using Minimum Supplies

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today I am sharing a card using the simple supplies of Stamps, Ink & Paper. It is an idea that you can use to create a card for practically any occasion. The card is for the small son of a neighbour, who is celebrating his 2nd birthday this weekend. I love how it turned out and I think it will be a card creating technique I might just use again.

Each time I post a project on this blog and my You Tube channel I think of it as a ‘class’ sharing ideas & techniques that you can follow, sometimes they are simple and straightforward with the minimum of supplies (like today) sometimes, they are a bit more fancy with special folds or fancy techniques using more supplies. Either way I hope you enjoy them 🙂

Inspired by a Sketch ~ Challenge # 217

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today I am sharing a card as part of a challenge. The inspiration is a card sketch, which is always very handy if you are struggling for a starting point in your card creations. I have kept the card very simple just using Stamps, Ink and Paper with a little ribbon and some embellishments. The only piece of equipment is my paper trimmer/scorer, so you could make it with the minimum of supplies by checking out the video below.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

It is a while since I shared an Artist Trading Card, these are little works of art just measuring 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches, that is the only rule and you can use just about anything on that little space. I have a little box on my workbench that I put in odd bits and pieces left over from various projects, I use these in my trading cards. Today’s video shows me working thru some scraps to create a dramatic mixed media piece.

2026 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ June 2026

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

For the last 5 – 6 years I have designed and enjoyed making my flip over desk calendar for the ladies who came to my classes.  As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. Like last year, I recognize not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month and included a video to show how I went about making the card.

So today I share, Shimmering Butterflies

Easy Handmade Cards: Using Up Those Leftover Scraps

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

As I explain in today’s video I have been experimenting with hot foiling , a technique that has been around quite a while but is new to me. As with all new techniques you have to practice to find the way it works best for you and your tools. After a morning of playing I ended up with some interesting results which I could not bring myself to just throw away, so I pulled out some other scraps of paper and card with a few embellishments and worked my way thru today’s card!
