Cute Turtle Friends Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Looking back over my last few posts I see a lot of floral cards – I admit flowers are one of my weaknesses and I am so drawn to stamp sets and decorative paper with them on, so today I am going in another direction by turning to turtles!

The Turtle Friends Bundle is beyond cute, made up from the Turtle Friends Stamp Set with the coordinating Turtle Punch. I bought it with children’s cards in mind but I think it will work for any ‘young at heart’ adult!

Shaded Summer ~ Feminine Birthday Card Idea

August 10, 2021July 21, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today’s card was the result of a color challenge, Early Expresso, Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green! I had no problem with combining the first two colors but I have to admit that Garden Green is not my favorite green in the Stampin’ UP! family, so that was the challenge for me, I chose to make it my ‘minor’ color.

Flip Over Calendar ~ August Dragonflies

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I say this when the 1st of every month comes around…………. I cannot believe we are over half way thru 2021 !!!! I am glad to say that this year has gone a lot better than 2020 as things are opening up and I am able to spend time with friends again.

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, August which has gentle dragonflies.

Slimline Silver Embossed Celebrate Card Idea

July 27, 2021July 16, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Last week my brother and sister-in-law celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary, which is silver! Neither of them are into delicate, dainty or fancy, so after much thought and a stroll thru my stamp sets I decided the Stacked Stone Stamp would make a fantastic background with some elegant leaves from the Artistic Dies.

To bring in the silver theme I heat embossed the Stacked Stone image with Silver Embossing Powder. I did not want to add too much bulk to the card as it has to be posted to the UK, so the heat embossing had a huge impact.

Elegant Multipanel Pop-out, Fancy Fold Card

July 22, 2021July 16, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

One of the most stunning set of decorative papers in the 2021 – 2022 Annual Stampin’ UP! catalog is the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper. It has beautiful neutrals which are the backdrop to silver, gold and copper gilding. Rather than using just one of the designs I looked for a fancy fold card where I could display as many of the different designs as possible and that is the card I share today.

I used the other coordinating products for this paper, the Elegantly Said Stamp Set and Elegant Tag Punch. I also chose to use Basic Gray and Gray Granite Card as a background.
