Quilt Blocks with Paper and Card

2 Comments

Welcome to my Corner of the World

A few months ago, one of the ladies who comes to my in-person classes asked about making cards using Quilt Blocks – I am always up for a challenge and love it when someone requests a technique or a fun fold. I made and shared the Log Cabin block in my You Tube live and had such fun I made two more a while later on another You Tube live. Check out the Pinwheel and Shoefly blocks below.

If you are unable to get to my in-person classes I have an on-line card class to go each month. You can check out the details for September’s class here

2023 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ September

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, September Dragon Flies

Earlier this month a very dear friend for over 30 years got married, perfect occasion to create a really special and luxurious card made with great care and much love.

While we don’t always have the occasion to make and send a wedding card the same style and supplies can be used to make a birthday or inspirational card, my video today shares an alternate version, by simply changing out the greeting.

Split Card Textures Friendship Card Video Tuorial

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today I have a bit of a shabby chic/vintage feel to my card, I have used the Split Card Texture Dies to create a stencil then broke out the Blending Brushes and got to work with some Soft Suede Ink. I did not set out to create shabby chic, but the colors then using Distress Gold Specialty Paper kinda turned it into one! Go with the flow I say!
