2023 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ July 4th

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, July’s Stars and Strips ~ with a quick and simple fun fold card!

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!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

One of the ladies in my Stampin’ UP! team recently promoted to Bronze Elite, it was my absolute pleasure to make and send a card to celebrate her achievement. I reached for the Copper Foil straightaway and paired it with Very Vanilla Card and the Two Tone Flora Dies. I was really thrilled with how it turned out and hope she liked it as well.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I recently hosted a paper share for the specialty papers in the Jan – May 2023 mini catalog, where each participant received a 6″ square of these beautiful papers. In order to provide some inspiration I used a couple of the papers along with the Two Tone Floral Stamp Set and coordinating dies to create a couple of cards LIVE on my You Tube channel.

Lucky Clover Sending Love Card

Welcome to my Corner of the World

St Patrick’s Day is quite a big thing here in the US, so the Lucky Clover Stamp Set is perfect for this, however the 4 leaf clover is supposed to bring luck so this is a great set for sending good luck wishes particularly as we are coming up to exam season, how lovely it would be to receive a card right before you sit those exams!

Having said all this I did choose to use Green and Gold for this quick and easy card
