An Easy Fun Fold Any Occasion Card.

1 Comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I recently took part in an on-line Stampin’ UP! event, several folks commented that they were not really ‘taken’ with Wild Wheat – one of the new 2023 -2025 In colors and were finding it hard to pair it with another color. Personally I really like it, it has sort of matt gold overtones and after a little thinking and experimenting I paired it with a particular favorite of mine……….. Blackberry Bliss, with Very Vanilla as my neutral ……………… I think this makes a great Autumn color combo!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Things are looking up ‘eyewise’ so I am hoping to get back to blogging and sharing my projects with you on a more regular basis – I thank you for your patience while I worked thru a really trying time for me 🙂

2023 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ August Songbird

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Once again I enjoyed designing and making my flip over calendar for 2023, with the help of my friend, Elly – while she was visiting from the UK in October. . As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2022, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2024

I am changing things a little for this year, I recognise not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .

So today I share, August’s Sweet Songbird ………………

July 4th card using Elegant Borders Dies

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Now we are in June my thoughts are turning to cards to celebrate July 4th ~ Independance Day here in the US. I have taken a slightly different approach for today’s card using some slightly muted Red, White and Blue and using the Elegant Border Dies to create the ‘stripes’. I think this would make a great graduation card ~ simply swap out the red and blue for the school colors!
