Ranunculus Romance Layered Card ~ Just for You

August 25, 2022August 25, 20223 Comments

Welcome to my Corner of the World

When I first saw the Ranunculus Romance Stamp set I could see so many card ideas. I love all the little eclectic elements that allows you to build up a great design and then it has a 4 different greetings to cover a bunch of occasions.

My color combination is Cherry Cobbler and Flirty Flamingo, not one I would have thought to use however a couple of scraps laying on the floor sparked my imagination ~ adding the neutral Very Vanilla card and Crumb Cake ink made it work!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I found some scraps of decorative paper, I know they are from a long retired pack but I could not bare to waste them! I know many of us have ‘old stuff’ waiting patiently to be used, waiting their turn after we have played with the ‘new stuff’ – so let us not waste them – pick out a few of the colors for your ink and card and turn them into a pretty thank you card.

Simple and Elegant Birthday Card Idea

March 8, 2022March 6, 2022Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

When the 2021 – 2022 Annual Catalog was released I was immediately attracted by the Elegantly Said Stamp set. I just loved the stamp with the Jacobean design, with all the curls and loops ( it reminds me of a cross-stitch fire screen I once made) Today I have used it in a very simple but elegant birthday card although you could use any of the greetings in the set to create it for another occasion.

Sweet and Simple Tulip Birthday Card

February 16, 2022February 14, 2022Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today’s card is another in my Sweet and Simple series where I have set myself a little challenge using a small amount of equipment and supplies – kind of like one of those cookery shows where you are given 3 or 4 ingredients and you have to turn it into a spectacular 4 course meal!

I think it meets my aim of using one stamp set, a couple of ink pads, an embellishment and a tool.

Just Because Any Occasion Card Idea

December 30, 2021December 30, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

It is hard to believe this is my last post for 2021 – the year has simply flown by despite all the ‘issues’ we have all experienced!

I have chosen to use a the Tidings of Christmas Designer Paper to create a ‘Just Because’ card today. This paper is in the Annual Catalog and available year round, and although Christmas 2021 is behind us I wanted to use it for something other than a Christmas card (although you could add a Christmas greeting and it would work very well)

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I hope you all had a peaceful Christmas yesterday. We have been so focused on the Christmas holiday, but other occasions do happen around this time of year. Our son and daughter-in-law celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary a few days before Christmas, today I share the card we sent them.

I used one of the new stamp sets from the 2022 January – June Mini Catalog – Eden’s Garden – for their card which I am sharing today.

Celebrate with Flowers Easy Fun Fold Birthday Card

December 9, 2021December 9, 2021Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

This is such a very easy fold to do – by simply cutting the front slightly shorter than the back it allowed me to use the vertical ‘Happy Birthday’ from the Celebrate with Flowers Stamp Set, so it would be visible with the card closed. I have paired Granny Apple Green with Poppy Parade ~ a very bright and fresh combination.
