2023 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ May

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, a cute Lady Bird a perfect choice for mid-spring.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

The side step fun fold card is a lot of fun to do, but there is a lot of measuring and cutting the base card to create the different levels. Today’s card with a video tutorial shows how to get the same effect by scoring and attaching different panels.

Like an Animal Thank You Card Idea

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

You all know that I love the decorative paper packs, I find them inspirational especially when it comes to color combinations. Last November I was able to go to an all day Stampin’ UP! event in Arlington TX, there I was gifted an pack of Like an Animal decorative paper – which has all animal prints. To be honest it is not something I would choose to have but I put on my thinking cap and came up with a simple design featuring the paper with some lovely Polished Pink card and ribbon (soon to retire)

Uniquely Artistic ~ Using White Ink Video Tutorial

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I don’t think to use white ink at all, so when I was seeking inspiration for a color combo for my recent card buffet my eye fell on the Whisper White Craft Ink Pad which I paired up with Night of Navy and the Uniquely Artistic Stamp Set – I just loved the sort of monochrome ‘smoky’ effect it gave especially with the outline stamps in the set.
