Cute Card for Little Boy ~ Using Minimum Supplies

June 19, 2026June 18, 2026Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today I am sharing a card using the simple supplies of Stamps, Ink & Paper. It is an idea that you can use to create a card for practically any occasion. The card is for the small son of a neighbour, who is celebrating his 2nd birthday this weekend. I love how it turned out and I think it will be a card creating technique I might just use again.

Each time I post a project on this blog and my You Tube channel I think of it as a ‘class’ sharing ideas & techniques that you can follow, sometimes they are simple and straightforward with the minimum of supplies (like today) sometimes, they are a bit more fancy with special folds or fancy techniques using more supplies. Either way I hope you enjoy them 🙂

Fairy Folk Artist Trading Card

June 16, 2026June 16, 2026Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I had such a lot of fun making an artist trading card last week that I sorted thru my scraps to pull together another one this week with a delicate fairy themed one. As I share in the video I can add this to my Handmade Folder or it could be used as a cluster for a journal or the focal point of a very pretty greeting card.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

While working thru today’s video it occurred to me that there are a number of different ways to add colour to your cards stamped images or to die cut pieces. So I am using today’s card as the first in the series where I am using alcohol markers to colour my image. So look out for some more coloring techniques over the coming weeks.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

It is a while since I shared an Artist Trading Card, these are little works of art just measuring 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches, that is the only rule and you can use just about anything on that little space. I have a little box on my workbench that I put in odd bits and pieces left over from various projects, I use these in my trading cards. Today’s video shows me working thru some scraps to create a dramatic mixed media piece.

Silhouette Card Technique for Father’s Day

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Finding my blending brushes on my work bench from a card I shared last week I decided to have another go at at a different technique with them. The more I thought about it the more I was tempted to make a masculine themed card (which I am not so good at!) and as Father’s Day is just around the corner I figured that would be the way to go!

Easy Handmade Cards: Using Up Those Leftover Scraps

May 22, 2026June 10, 2026Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

As I explain in today’s video I have been experimenting with hot foiling , a technique that has been around quite a while but is new to me. As with all new techniques you have to practice to find the way it works best for you and your tools. After a morning of playing I ended up with some interesting results which I could not bring myself to just throw away, so I pulled out some other scraps of paper and card with a few embellishments and worked my way thru today’s card!

Mixed Technique Card with Neutral Layers & Florals

May 15, 2026May 15, 2026Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I used a number of different simple techniques on todays card, some stamping, some stenciling and some punch art. I kinda wanted to work with neutral shades rather than bringing in colour. Although I have used a ‘thinking of you’ sort of greeting I think this design / layout would work for any occasion if you change up the greeting and you could bring in other colours as well. 🙂
