Scrapbook Inspired – New Year Card

January 6, 2023January 6, 2023Leave 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.

December’s hop had a Hidden Message theme (check it out here ) I chose to have my hidden message on a New Year layout so today’s card is full of celebration with lots of bling to make my heart happy. I think this would make an wonderful congratulations card, for graduation, anniversary, engagement – just change out the greeting !!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Tucked away on page 93 of the Annual Catalog is an unusual bundle – the Botanical Layers Stamp Set paired with the Lovely Layers Vellum.

As I share in the video there are 4 different pre-printed designs as well as some plain sheets. I have created a card for each design and since there are 5 different designs I have paired each one with the 2022 -2024 In-Colors – today features Tahitian Tide.

Winter themed Sampler Idea

February 14, 2022February 14, 2022Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

This time last year we were on the threshold of a vicious winter storm in which North Texas was below freezing for 139 hours, today it is a little on the chilly side but the sun is shining and we have brilliant blue skies!

Today I am sharing the 3rd in a series of 4 seasonal samplers that I have created for my lovely ladies who come to my classes – although it has a winter theme, I resisted the temptation to add any Christmas-specific elements. As always with samplers there is quite a few materials and tools used but the result is so worth it 🙂

Blackberry Beauty “a little note’ Card Idea

October 30, 2021October 30, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Sometimes a piece of decorative paper just tells you what you need to do with it! One of the designs in the Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper Pack did just that when I clapped eyes on it – by simply cutting it into 6 pieces I had a 6 card front layers ready to attach to a card base! . This particular paper has beautiful plant designs and needed no more than a simple greeting to finish it off, a quick and easy card if you are in a rush.

Pretty Pumpkin Pinwheel Thanksgiving Card ~ Video Tutorial

October 14, 2021October 14, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I love a fun fold card and I have a personal mission to ensure I used my decorative paper in my card making. Today’s card meets both of those plus I have a lovely thanksgiving card as a result, plus it will fit into a standard 5 3/4 x 4 3/8 envelope for easy posting!

I have also used several techniques that I have used before, coloring with Stampin’ Blends and heat embossing – if you scroll down a little you will see links to post and videos I have made about those……. enjoy!
