Welcome to my Corner of the World

I love to send handmade cards, I love the idea of someone opening the envelope and pull out a card made just for them! Today I am sharing an all-inclusive card making kit that will be perfect for you to create and send your own handmade cards this holiday season.

Christmas Whimsy is an adorably fun Christmas card kit with a modern design! Santa’s elves might be hard at work at the North Pole, but with this all-inclusive kit, the hard work is done for you! All pieces are printed, die cut, and ready for you to craft. The simplicity of this card kit makes it perfect for beginner crafters and kids, too! Grab a kit or two and gather around for a simple holiday season activity that everyone will enjoy.

Flip over calendar ~ November Pumpkins

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Welcome November – we are enjoying some cooler weather here in North Texas, the clocks will change this coming Sunday and the leaves are starting to fall – with a little help from the very high winds we had last week.

If you are a regular follower of my blog you will know that 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 for 2022 – I am in the planning stages! I thought I might start each month this year by posting the page for that month, so today I share, November with Pumpkins, acorns and leaves – very autumnal!

One of the designs in the Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper Pack did just that when I clapped eyes on it – by simply cutting it into 6 pieces I had a 6 card front layers ready to attach to a card base! . This particular paper has beautiful plant designs and needed no more than a simple greeting to finish it off, a quick and easy card if you are in a rush.

One of those ‘somethings’ is the Picture This Dies, tucked away on page 164 – thee are two dies in the set, one will cut circles and another that cuts rectangles to create interesting effects for your cards. Each of the circles and rectangles has a ‘stitched’ edge which gives it a beautiful finish.

Once the circles are cut it is really easy to attach a piece of decorative paper to the back and here is the result………….
