Like an Animal Thank You Card Idea

Leave a comment

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)

Uniquely Artistic ~ Using White Ink Video Tutorial

Leave a comment

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.

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!

Scrapbook Inspired Card with Reflection Technique.

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Each month I take part in a Scrapbook hop,  I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I try to take some elements from my layout to create a card to show how Stampin’ UP! products can be used for both card making and scrapbook pages. Check out the original scrapbook page

I chose to use the Easter Bunny Stamp set with coordinating punch and the Rain or Shine Decorative Paper for this simple gatefold card and have a video to show how it comes together and how I used my Stamparatus for the reflection technique!

Petal Park Meets Celebrating You for a Pretty Card for any occasion!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I have a ‘go to’ layout I like to use occasionally, particularly when I have a little creative block ~ I find once I have my basic pieces cut the rest will flow from that.

Today’s card uses that layout and you will probably recognize it from previous posts. I have combined the Petal Park Stamp Set with the coordinating punch with the Celebrating You Stamp set for my greeting along with one of my favorite subtle color combinations to show the same layout for an anniversary card and one for Easter, there is also a video tutorial to follow along with 🙂

Easy Framed Florets Thank You Card Idea

2 Comments

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.
