Welcome to my Corner of the World
I don’t usually make big cards, partly because of the extra postage we have to pay here in the US. So I have always stuck to making them with 1/2 sheet of 11 x 8 1/2 card with the finished card size of 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. Then I received a card from a friend – it was bigger than 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 but still had the regular first class stamp. So I did a little research and found that I could send a max size of 7 x 5 for the same first class stamp – so today’s card is just that size!!

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
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.
