Welcome to my Corner of the World

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)
Continue readingI 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.
Continue readingToday’s card just uses card and paper – no stamps, no ink……………… just paper/card!!!. I used the decorative paper pack, dies and embellishments from the Hello Irresistible Suite to put together my card, this suite is an online exclusive and I have put links below so you can add it to your next order!
Continue readingOf all the decorative paper packs in the 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalog Texture Chic has been my absolute favorite – I lost count of how many packs I bought as I used it in a lot of classes! It is about to retire so I wanted to share one of the designs before the end of April. Pale Papaya is also about to retire from the in-color family so I am giving that a final showing as well.
