Cottage Rose ‘Any Occasion’ Fun Fold Card

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today’s card has a bunch of techniques ~ heat embossing, dry embossing, die cutting, along with the Double Flap fancy fold. When it was finished I realized is an ultra feminine card with a bit of a vintage feel going on as well – that wasn’t the plan but that is how it turned out. The Abigail Rose decorative paper and Cottage Rose Stamp set seems to lend itself to the shabby chic/ vintage style so when I chose to use it with these colors perhaps it was a subconscious choice!!!

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

As a Stampin’ UP! demo I get my hands on new products about4 – 6 weeks ahead of their public release, I also get to attend events, virtual and in person, where Stampin’ UP! shares ideas and designs. So it was in June when I was able to get my hands on the Splendid Day Suite of products and was able to make several samples which I have shared in the last few weeks. (link below if you missed them)

Punch Art Honey Bee – Vintage Card Idea

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

You have probably picked up over the years that I love punches! They are quick and easy to use – I used the Lady Bird Builder Punch to create the sweet little honey bee on today’s card.

While I am very fond of shabby chic/vintage style cards I don’t make them very often as I run out of ideas, however the ink sponging technique with a little water coloring is a great way to start. Read on to see the card and video on creating the honey bee.

Very Versailles Shabby Chic Birthday Card

Leave a comment

Welcome back to my corner of the world

Oh, I am so excited with today’s card – I made it for my sister’s birthday last week , I  wanted to do something ‘vintagy’ as that is very much her style. Unusually for me I have used two stamp sets for this card, Very Versailles and Artisan Textures (soon to retire – so order yours now!)

I am not sure whether you call it vintage or shabby chic – what is the  difference or is it  the same thing? ! Anyway I used a number of techniques and materials to create the effect – sponging, distressing, multiple layers of stamping, then lace, twine, pearls and vellum.
