Welcome to my Corner of the World

Each month I take part in a Scrapbook hop, I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I try to take some elements from my layout to create a card to show how Stampin’ UP! products can be used for both card making and scrapbook pages.

January’s hop had had us using products from the Jan – April 2023 Mini catalog (check it out here) and I chose to use one of the new bundles called Around the Bend. I think this would make an wonderful card for any occasion – ‘Hello There’ is just perfect for this!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Sometimes we see a card that we just love, but we may not have those supplies or it may not be for the occasion we need at that time.

I am a bit of an organizing fanatic – (although if you looked at my desk right now you would probably think HUH!?!) I am always looking for a bit of paper to write a note on or double checking the date. So today’s 3D project covers both of those needs.

These are very easy to make and would make a super little gift for a co-worker, it holds about 200 pieces of 4 1/4 x 2 3/4 copy paper!
