Angled Z-Fold Card with Dandelion Wishes

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I do love a fun fold – today I have a fun fold with a different ‘angle’ in that the front panels are cut to form a sort of cascade. It has a wonderful impact and may seem a little complicated but with your Stampin Paper Trimmer and a well placed pencil mark to it super easy to create.

I have used Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set as I adore those wispy seed heads, along with one of the 2020 -2022 In Colors ~ Bumble Bee paired with Pacific Point.

Oh and there is also a video tutorial to go with it!

Rich Razzleberry Blossom in Blooms

Welcome to my Corner of the World

This is the 3rd card I have shared using the Blossoms in Bloom and Many Layers Blossom Dies, I think I am just lovin’ this bundle. The main stamp in the set covers the whole of the front of the card producing a delicate and feminine card.

I decided not to put a greeting on today’s card, although there are lots to choose from in the stamp set I figured this could be used for most any occasion.!

Peony with Borders Abound Best Wishes

Welcome to my Corner of the World

You all know I love flowers, I find myself reaching for dies and stamp sets that have them, so when we had a new set of Peony Dies in the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalog that produces a 3D peony – it was on my wish list in an instant!

At first glance the dies look a bit complex, but in truth they are so easy so I have produced a video tutorial to share the technique with you. I have paired this with one of the greetings from the Borders Abound Stamp Set.

Comfort and Hope ~ Paper Hugs

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Everyone needs a hug! Sometimes it is not possible to give one in person, here is an idea for sending a paper hug!

The Comfort and Hope Stamp set has a greeting that says exactly that, along with some super, creative texture stamps which I love to use. We used to have a stamp set called Gorgeous Grunge which was a ‘go to’ when I had some ‘space’ on a card that I needed to fill. I was sad when Gorgeous Grunge retired, but so happy to see this stamp set in the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalog.

We recently had some new neighbors move into our sub-division, remembering how lost we felt when we arrived I like to leave a little card on their porch to just introduce ourselves.

I have had the Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set in my stash for a couple of months now but had not yet used it {shock/horror} …. and it has the perfect ‘WELCOME’ stamp!

Forever Fern ~ Sympathy Card

Welcome back to my corner of the world

There are times we need a sympathy card, not the happiest of cards to make but Stampin’ UP! has colors and images that make it easy to design them.

I used the Forever Fern Stamp Set with the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set for my sentiment to create a simple but heartfelt card. I love this set, having used it for different occasions, you can scroll down a little way to find some links to other cards.

Many Layered Blossoms Dies – Video Tutorial

Welcome back to my corner of the world

On page 174 of the 2020 Annual Catalog are a set of dies that produces the most stunning effect.  The Many Layered Blossoms Dies along with some Copper Foil and Adhesive Sheets allowed me to create this beautiful card.

I used Grey Granite  for my original sample, my husband’s  choice ~  I use Basic Black in my video to which produced a more dramatic effect. While I did a tiny bit of stamping with the coordinating Blossoms in Bloom Stamp set I think I could have got away without any stampin’ at all!
