2026 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ November

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 2 versions ~ one to celebrate Thanksgiving in the US and another for Guy Fawkes and Fireworks in the UK !

Challenge # 227 ~ Autumn/Fall with Minimal Supplies!

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

These are some of my favorite colours – those beautiful ambers, browns, oranges and coppers. I created this card with thanksgiving in mind (but it will work for a birthday) , it doesn’t have to say it explicitly I think the images and colours does that for me. It is also a card that literally uses papers & adhesive (with a couple of embellishments) ~ no fancy tools, inks, or stamps, I created something similar in the summer and have put a link below. Don’t forget to check out the video where I work thru my idea along with you.

Welcome to the Funky Folds Hop ~ a community for like minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky folds and to share our ideas. Funky actually means “modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way” so hang onto your hats and see what the talented artisans have to offer 🙂

We don’t have a specific theme ” anything goes” it is all about the fold!! I chose a simple ‘rocker’ card and decorated it for a teen grand-daughter!

Challenge 225 ~ Clear and Simple Anniversary Card

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

The challenge is Clear and Simple – for someone who relishes working out the technicalities of card making this is, indeed, a challenge. My interpretation also includes the idea that the supplies, techniques and equipment should also be simple so I have focused on using some decorative paper, ink and a couple of stamps (then went a little rogue by adding a few rhinestones 🙂 )
