Welcome to my Corner of the World

I love a fun-fold card – the ladies who come to my classes love to create something just a little out of the ordinary and today’s card with video is just that.

I used the goodies from the newly released Sun Prints Collection, which has a stamp set with coordinating dies, the Fern 3D embossing folder and the very pretty Sun Prints decorative paper, scroll down for more info on the supplies, which are available separately or as a whole collection – you choose!. I have also thrown in one of the new in-colors ~ Tahitian Tide which pairs very well with Night of Navy.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Each month I have a card class where we explore different folds, back in February we made this double pop up fold which showcased the very pretty and very popular Expressions in Ink Suite of products.

As always with a fun fold it can look a little complex then when you get stuck in it is really quite easy, I have included the recipe as well as a video to help you thru this one!

Don’t forget today (April 21st) is a free shipping day for any orders greater the $75 – order your supplies for this card today and save on the shipping 🙂

Very Versailles Sympathy Card Idea

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Sometimes we need a sympathy card, I know I have had to send out a some in the last couple of months, but it gives me a sense that at least I have done ‘something’ to acknowledge the loss a family is feeling.

It is difficult to judge what colors to use, black, or dark colors versus something a little brighter, I pondered on this and decided to go with Very Vanilla and Just Jade and use the peaceful trail of leaves from the Very Versailles Stamp Set.

Spring Time Thank You Card Idea

3 Comments

Welcome to my Corner of the World

A couple of weeks ago I designed a Spring themed scrapbook page for a blog hop, I had cut lots of pieces using the Pierced Blooms Dies from the Subtles family of Stampin’ UP! colors. Well when I finished the scrapbook page I had a bunch of pieces left over – never one to waste anything, I used them to make today’s card. Also it gives me the chance to show you how scrapbooking ideas and techniques can be used in your card making.

Although I made it into a thank you card, I think it would make a very pretty birthday card if you change out the greeting.

Coloring Vellum with Blending Brushes ~ Super Elegant Card

2 Comments

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Blendering Brushes were added to the Stampin’ UP! tool chest at the beginning of this year and I have loved using them! This is the third technique I have shared featuring them and this time I am using the Square Vellum Doilies to show how you can make them any color to match your project.

I am also featuring the ‘soon to be retired’ Shimmer Paint, using it to produce a rich sheen to a piece of Very Vanilla Card as a background to the vellum……. and there is a video showing you how to do both techniques.!!
