Welcome to my Corner of the World

I have made no secret of the fact I just LOVE the Gilded Leafing Embellishment, I am on my second pot of it and this is the 4th technique I have shared with you to inspire you to purchase some and try it for yourself – it is fun to use and gives a fantastic finish that will just WOW whoever gets this card.

I have chosen to use the Oval Occasions Bundle for me greeting with the Oval Occasions Stamp Set and coordinating Double Oval Punch. If you scroll on down you will see 2 different color versions just to inspire you a little further 🙂

Gatefold Thank You Card.

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

We always need thank you cards, I sent out a lot of those to friends, family and my wonderful SU customers. I have used one of the palest colors along side one of the darkest colors in the Stampin’ UP! color family today and they work so very well together!

Unusually for me I have used 2 different stamp sets for this card, but I think the design would work for almost any occasion, just change out the greeting and it would be a very pretty birthday or thinking of you card as well.

Bumble Bee Birthday Card Idea

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I chose to use Bumble Bee design from the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper for todays card, pulling out 2 of the colors for my card, Bumblebee and Misty Moonlight. To showcase the double-sidedness of the paper I used both sides of the same sheet.

Bumble Bees are attracted to flowers so I built up the flowers and leaves using the Lacy Petal Dies, giving me a really pretty and feminine card.

Donkey Birthday Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I just wanted to share this cute card I made for my great-nephew’s 10th birthday last month, I used the Darling Donkey’s Stamp Set from Sale-a-bration, sadly this set is no longer available but a great alternative would be the Zany Zebras Stamp Set.

I used the ‘tone-on-tone stampin’ technique for my background and broke out my watercolor pencils to color my cheeky lil’ donkey, he looks so cute just sitting there 🙂

Welcome to my Corner of the World

In the early part of last December I had a class to create a flip over calendar, everyone loved it and made me promise we will do another later in this new year! I thought I might start each month this year by posting the page for that month, so today I share, March which you can see has a St Patrick’s Day theme.

Welcome Back Hey Chick & Introducing Hey Birthday Chick

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

During Sale-A-Bration 2017, Stampin’ UP! was blown away by how much you loved the Hey Chick Stamp Set, so they decided to bring it back, {never seen this happen before} —along with coordinating dies and a completely new bundle created in the same style. These two bundles are only available for a limited time, from February 2nd thru to June 30th! and I am sharing some of the designs using them to introduce them and to inspire you.

The bundles have a stamp set with coordinating dies and have a 10% discount, but if you want to buy just the stamp set or the dies they are available separately.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I could not resist the literation for today’s card! I think that pink and purple is such a pretty combination especially when you use the pastel tones of those colors! I chose Blushing Bride and Highland Heather to create this ‘forever friends’ card and would be great to send to someone ‘just because’ …….. I love getting happy mail!

I have used the Under My Umbrella Stamp set on a fair few cards I have shared with you, I have included some links below so you can see them again.
