Rich Razzleberry Blossom in Blooms

August 27, 2020August 23, 2020Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

This is the 3rd card I have shared using the Blossoms in Bloom and Many Layers Blossom Dies, I think I am just lovin’ this bundle. The main stamp in the set covers the whole of the front of the card producing a delicate and feminine card.

I decided not to put a greeting on today’s card, although there are lots to choose from in the stamp set I figured this could be used for most any occasion.!

Peony with Borders Abound Best Wishes

Welcome to my Corner of the World

You all know I love flowers, I find myself reaching for dies and stamp sets that have them, so when we had a new set of Peony Dies in the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalog that produces a 3D peony – it was on my wish list in an instant!

At first glance the dies look a bit complex, but in truth they are so easy so I have produced a video tutorial to share the technique with you. I have paired this with one of the greetings from the Borders Abound Stamp Set.

Comfort and Hope ~ Paper Hugs

August 23, 2020August 23, 2020Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Everyone needs a hug! Sometimes it is not possible to give one in person, here is an idea for sending a paper hug!

The Comfort and Hope Stamp set has a greeting that says exactly that, along with some super, creative texture stamps which I love to use. We used to have a stamp set called Gorgeous Grunge which was a ‘go to’ when I had some ‘space’ on a card that I needed to fill. I was sad when Gorgeous Grunge retired, but so happy to see this stamp set in the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalog.

Butterfly Wishes ~ Welcome

WELCOME TO MY CORNER OF THE WORLD

We recently had some new neighbors move into our sub-division, remembering how lost we felt when we arrived I like to leave a little card on their porch to just introduce ourselves.

I have had the Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set in my stash for a couple of months now but had not yet used it {shock/horror} …. and it has the perfect ‘WELCOME’ stamp!

Forever Fern ~ Sympathy Card

Welcome back to my corner of the world

There are times we need a sympathy card, not the happiest of cards to make but Stampin’ UP! has colors and images that make it easy to design them.

I used the Forever Fern Stamp Set with the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set for my sentiment to create a simple but heartfelt card. I love this set, having used it for different occasions, you can scroll down a little way to find some links to other cards.

Many Layered Blossoms Dies – Video Tutorial

August 17, 2020August 15, 2020Leave a comment

Welcome back to my corner of the world

On page 174 of the 2020 Annual Catalog are a set of dies that produces the most stunning effect. The Many Layered Blossoms Dies along with some Copper Foil and Adhesive Sheets allowed me to create this beautiful card.

I used Grey Granite for my original sample, my husband’s choice ~ I use Basic Black in my video to which produced a more dramatic effect. While I did a tiny bit of stamping with the coordinating Blossoms in Bloom Stamp set I think I could have got away without any stampin’ at all!

Playing with Patterns ~ 4 cards from 6 x 6 piece of DSP

August 8, 2020August 8, 2020Leave a comment

Welcome back to my corner of the world

A couple of weeks ago I took part in the Ink . Stamp . Share Blog Hop and one of my fellow artisans showed a set of cards where a 6 x 6 piece of Designer Series Paper was cut into 4 pieces with odd angles. I could not resist – I just had to have a go, it looked such fun and I got 4 great cards as a result.

I chose to use the Playing with Patterns Suite of products along with the Borders Abound Stamp Set. When I had done one set I was kind of hooked and chose another piece of decorative paper and coordinating card so now I have 3 sets of 4 cards.
