Christmas Card with Swirly Stars

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I spent yesterday afternoon making mince pies – Christmas is just 12 days away. I have nearly everything done now, just need to get fresh veggies a little nearer the day! However I still do have a few more Christmas cards to send which is a little job for tomorrow or Wednesday.

This is one of the cards I designed for a recent Christmas Card Stamp Camp ~ I love the combination of Night of Navy, Basic White, silver embossing a little sparkle from the organdy ribbon.

Thank you for Everything – Seashells Embossing Folder Idea

November 9, 2021November 9, 20211 Comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

A change of theme for today – with Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon we are going to need some thank you cards. I chose to feature the Seashells 3D embossing folder, just adding a simple greeting so the details of this embossing folder do not get lost. I am thinking this would make a really good masculine thank you card…….. change out the greeting and it would be a perfect masculine birthday card as well!!

Flourishing Phrases – Night of Navy Sympathy

April 20, 2019April 19, 2019Leave a comment

The Flourishing Phrases stamp set has a whole bunch of very useful greetings along with a lovely big floral stem, flower and leaf image that allows you to create some great cards.

Today I have chosen to use the with Sympathy one, however the colors and design could work very well with any of the greetings in the set. A sympathy card is not one that we particularly want to make but there is a need and this image is really quite soothing.

July 30, 2018Leave a comment

Today is a ‘twofer’ – two cards for the price of one! One of the first things on my ‘wish list’ for the 2018 – 2019 Annual Catalog was the Darling Label Punch Box!

Gift Cards and Framelits Dies …~… Stampin’ Up!

April 23, 2017Leave a comment

We were invited to a couple of weddings over the last few months. It is always so difficult to choose a gift – even with a registry list it can be tough – sometimes the happy couple can be left with the high value gifts on their list, so we decided to give gift cards – these can be added together with others and put toward those high ticket items.

Giving a gift card on its own or in one of those cards from the store is never enough for me – so to make a pretty holder to present the card in is a must ~ I have 2 to share today. Continue reading →

It has been a week or so since I last posted…… my computer went blank on me, just a white, winking arrow……nothing worked until a friend had a close look at it, fixed and then gave me a severe lecture on NOT using ‘clean disk’ and ‘defrag’ 😦

But here we are nearly half way thru June already and July is knocking at the door. That means Independence Day is about 3 weeks away. Here is a perfect embellishment for a scrapbook page or card. Continue reading →

Blueberry Pie ~ party favors

January 1, 20143 Comments

I always think blue, silver and white as New Year colors ~ not exclusively though, as I also have a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments in those colors.

I wanted to make some party favours for New Year and decided to use an idea of Connie Stewart’s from Simply Simple Stamping to make them in the shape of a slice of pie,and since I was using different shades of blue I have dubbed it ‘blueberry pie’ Continue reading →
