Welcome to my Corner of the World

The days are ticking away and the 25th is closing in on us fast! I have a few more Christmas cards to share with you and there is still time for you to whip some cards up and get them in the post!

The Peaceful Deer Stamp Set with the coordinating Deer Builder Punch makes for such a elegant and peaceful card, I have paired them with the Layering Circle Dies to create a ‘spotlight’ effect. The stamp set and punch are available as a bundle which gives you a 10% discount. STOP PRESS for one day only – December 8th there will be free shipping for orders greater than $50 – scroll on down for more info!! Some of the products used in today’s card are only available until the end of December – today would be a great time to scoop up on this great deal.

For the last 5 or 6 years I have created a flip over calendar using various Stampin’ UP! products, however the calendar part always defeated me in trimming and lining everything up – so I would buy the calendar parts.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Stampin’ UP! has so many beautiful decorative papers available to us papercrafters. The Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Paper has some really stunning images that just cry out to be the center piece of your Christmas Cards.

I decided to use it to create 2 cards using a technique I call a Layered Panel – this post explains how I work out the cutting and sizes of layers to create 2 different layouts.
