Pretty Blossoms in Bloom Birthday Card Idea

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

When Stampin’ UP! announced it was introducing the Stamparatus (stamp positioning tool) into its paper crafting tools I was sooooo excited, I was even more excited when I was offered the opportunity to be part of the design ‘team’ during the development phases. Since its release I have used it so much and have a series of videos sharing various techniques for this ‘oh so handy’ tool.

Today’s card is a simple one but has a few techniques, including the Stamparatus, creating greeting banners without punches or dies and a pretty bow tied with the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon. Read on to find the links to each of these…………….

Hey there ~ Cute Squirrel Card with hand colored ribbon

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I promised to share my voyage in learning how to use Stampin’ Blends. In this 6th video in the series, I share how to color ribbon to match your project and features the utterly cute Nuts about Squirrels Stamp Set.

I have shared before that often my ribbon drawer is the starting point for choosing colors for my projects but sometimes there just isn’t the color I need ! No problem ~ I can color up some of my own! As I explain in my video, today’s card is to welcome my great-niece into the family and I was looking for something cute but not pink so Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral it is and although I designed it for a new baby I think it would work for just about any occasion!

Biggest Wish – Happy Birthday Card Idea

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

A few weeks ago I did a product spotlight on the Stitched Greenery Embossing Die, I love the effect so used it again today to create this feminine birthday card.

I have used the Biggest Wish Stamp Set on several occasions, it very cleverly has 5 words each produced in block capital letters and in a pretty script, this way you can build up a greeting that suits your needs.

Slimline Tri-Fold Birthday Card

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today’s card was made for a very special friend, another UK ex-pat who I have known long before we both moved to the US. I was unable to visit her for 3 years, but this year I got to celebrate her birthday with her in PA – so naturally an extra-special card was needed!

I used a number of different techniques, sponging, embossing, die-cutting as well as some of the particularly luxurious materials , such as Gold Foil, Shimmer Vellum and Gilded Leaf embellishment

Textures & Frames with aTrio of Greens ~ Birthday Card Idea

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

The Textures and Frames Stamp Set is featured in today’s card, one of the best things about this set is that you can get it for free if you place an order before Sept 30th 2021 as part of SALE-A-BRATION. To give you an idea on what you can do with this set I selected 3 of Stampin’ UP! greens and randomly stamped over a piece of Very Vanilla Card. When the card was all finished it struck me that it could be used for male or female, you could change out the colors, of course, but those greens are gonna work either way.

Cute Turtle Friends Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Looking back over my last few posts I see a lot of floral cards – I admit flowers are one of my weaknesses and I am so drawn to stamp sets and decorative paper with them on, so today I am going in another direction by turning to turtles!

The Turtle Friends Bundle is beyond cute, made up from the Turtle Friends Stamp Set with the coordinating Turtle Punch. I bought it with children’s cards in mind but I think it will work for any ‘young at heart’ adult!

Biggest Wish Super Simple Guy Card

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I am really taken with the Biggest Wish Stamp Set ~ I love that I can create nice, big greetings for my cards, this is especially true for today’s card as I made it for my nephew so that is not ‘over the top’ as he is not into fancy!

I chose to use some decorative paper with checks and pull the checks thru the card by using one of the new embossing folders. This is a very quick and simple card to make you could use the same sketch, changing out the decorative paper and card colors to create a card for any occasion.
