Welcome to my Corner of the World
As I explain in my video, I made this card for my aunt in Australia, who I was able to spend Easter with in April. It was the first time we had been together since 2001.

Blending Brushes and Masks Video Tutorial
Welcome to my Corner of the World
There are different ways to use our inks, stamping images and greetings is one way, but there is also using masks (stencils) along with Blending Brushes to create a very soft image. I have gone to my favorite Go To Greetings Stamp Set for my message and chosen to use the thank you stamp however you could choose one of the other greetings to create a birthday, thinking of you or just a note ~ the card design will work for all of them.

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. I have chosen to feature the Sentimental Park Bundle and share how to color Pearl Basic Jewels to match your color scheme.

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)

Welcome to my Corner of the World
Of 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.

I am really in love with this quick and easy fun fold, I think this is the 3rd time I have shared it, each one with different colors and themes, that is the beauty of making a card yourself – you can make it to any theme and occasion!
Today I have chosen to use the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set and coordinating punch, with some Wink of Stella and a Glossy Dot for my bling!

Welcome to my Corner of the World
‘Hello‘ is such a happy word, it is the start of something new – a conversation, new friend or a new discovery. My card today will work for just any occasion ~ even to send ‘ just because’! I have chosen some bright ‘tropical’ colors to compliment the Tropical Hideaway Background Stamp and added a cute flower to finish it off.

Welcome to my Corner of the World
The Framed Florets Stamp Set has everything I love – flowers and greetings in a pretty cursive font. I have used it for today’s card which is monochromatic and just verging on the vintage side without having lots of sponging so is a very easy and fairly quick card to make. Since the stamp set has different greeting such as birthday, celebrate and friend – the layout and colors could be used to cover different occasions.
