Rustic Harvest with Cottage Rose – Get Well Card

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Another success for my personal decorative paper challenge – I love the Stampin’ UP! paper packs – it is practically the first thing I look at when a new catalog comes out – when it arrives I oooo and aaahhh over it then ‘save’ it for the perfect project to come along, which is a long way to say that I hoard it!!!!!!!

My challenge to myself is to use the paper – so today’s card uses a big piece of it!!!!

So that is how the Misty Moonlight and Mint Macaron used today came into being – scraps waiting to be tidied away 🙂

Introducing Stampin’ Blends ~ Easy Techniques # 2

Welcome to my Corner of the World

A couple of weeks ago I posted my first video introducing Stampin’ Blends, as I explained at that time, Stampin Blends are alcohol markers and have been available for a few years now. Although I have some of them I have not really explored them very much. When one of my lovely customers asked me a question on them I was unable to give her a good answer and made the decision I was going to teach myself how to use them!

Rather than practice in private – I decided I was going to practice on video, starting with the basics and developing my skills in front of you, my wonderful readers! So this is the second is a series I am planning over the coming weeks – enjoy!
