Welcome to my Corner of the World

This is the last but one post on this journal!!!! What with one thing an another, it has taken me about 16 months to get to this stage, but I did not want to rush it and by taking my time I learned more techniques and had more ideas for experimenting with different types of signatures, sewing techniques and embellishments and I have bought all of them to you in my posts and a series of videos.

Today’s video shows how I added the various embellishments I have created over the months, my thought in placing them and a few tweeks along the way!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

The challenge this time is to create a card from a sketch, I kinda like using sketches as it gives you a start to creating. During the video I am working out how things should go and the sizes for my pieces etc.

I am also continuing with my goal to use different ideas, techniques and products that I may not have used before and to that end today I used some ephemera cutouts left from another project – I am pretty happy with how it turned out !

2026 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ February

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Before I share this month’s calendar and card I want to thank everyone who visited my blog in January, I had the most visitors EVER in the 13 years I have been sharing my ideas with you,

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH and don’t forget that each of my posts now have a video 🙂

Now back to business…………….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, Happy Valentine Hearts, with a quick and easy fun fold!
