As a demonstrator perk, I have been able to have a drool over the catalog since early November then to pre-order some of them since December 1st! I can tell you there are lots of lovely things, covering all tastes and card-crafting styles.

Happy New Year

Welcome to my Corner of the World

January 1st 2021 – the start of a brand new year. I am not a big fan of January, I will be packing up my Christmas decorations on the 6th and it will be a while before we can look forward to spring showing all the new color and growth.

In the early part of 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, January!

Elegant Happy Christmas Card

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today is Christmas Eve – as my great- niece would be telling her Daddy today ‘ one more sleep until Father Christmas gets here’. I am spending my day with final preparation for tomorrow’s lunch and then settling down in front of the fire to watch some Christmas movies!

They say that less is more ~ not entirely sure I agree with that when it comes to card making but today I used a ready made card base from the Gold Cards and Envelopes Pack. It is Very Vanilla and has gold foil decoration on it, so that was my color choices decided, then a little dash of red to finish off! And, you know it was surprisingly quick to create all of the 10 cards that were in the pack!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today I am sharing the card I sent to all my customers who attended my classes or shopped for their Stampin’ UP! goodies with me this year. I truly appreciate their enthusiasm and support in what has been a weird year for us all.

Because I loved the fold I also used it for my Christmas Card Stamp Camp in November using alternate colors and stamp set just to show how versatile this fold is, scroll down to see that one, as well as the video on how it all goes together.

Christmas Ornament Contemporary Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

This time next week it will be Christmas Day!!! After a year of everything being turned on its head I am determined to hold onto some of my Christmas traditions, I have my trees decorated, lights on the outside of the house and a traditional (English) Christmas Lunch planned!

But sometimes I like a little ‘non-tradition’ to creep in, so I have a tree in my hall that is decorated in purples and pinks and chose to use similar colors for today’s card, Blackberry Bliss and Rococo Rose, to create this ‘lazy Z fold card’

Little Log Cabin Christmas Card

2 Comments

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I have a card buffet every month, one of my ladies asked if we could do a Christmas card with a ‘little house’ So I scanned the catalog and found the Rustic Retreat Stamp set had the cutest little log cabin ~ it turned out to be the most popular card in the November card buffet!

This stamp set was designed by SU demonstrator Mary Polcin who was given the honor when she achieved a Million Dollars in sales! It has some great images and greetings for Christmas, Birthday, Thinking of You and while I have used the Christmas themed ones, there are a few others that would work just great for a masculine card!….. watch this space for when I work out a design for one of those!

Joyful Christmas Holly Christmas Card ~ Video Tutorial

Welcome to my Corner of the World

When the August – December 2020 Mini Catalog was released one of the first stamp sets I set my heart on was Joyful Holly – I just loved all the ‘curlicues’ which are so graceful and elegant. So understandably I have used it on quite of cards this year, including todays card.

This is quite a simple card, some paper, stamps, ink and a couple of punches, with a little bling of course, you cannot have a Christmas card without some sparkle, can you?
