Welcome to my Corner of the World

Later today I shall be receiving my order from the new 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalog – normally I would have gotten my hands on the new products weeks ago but as I was away on an extended holiday I was not able to place my order until I was back in McKinney!

In my order is the Fresh as A Daisy Suite which I am itching to get my hands on, I love daisies – (we called one of our Yorkie’s Daisy) rather than wait any longer I am going to share the Stampin’ UP! video and samples with you today – watch this space for ideas I come up with in the coming days and weeks!!!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

These are the cards we would prefer not to have to send, but they do offer such comfort to those who receive them. The line art in the Decorative Borders Stamp set is beautiful and as the set does not have any greetings it is easy to pair up with another set which has a variety of different greetings to make this into a ‘feel better soon’, thank you, retirement or even a birthday card. Today I have used the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set for my greeting.

2023 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ May

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Once again I enjoyed designing and making my flip over calendar for 2023, with the help of my friend, Elly – while she was visiting from the UK in October. . As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2022, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2024

I am changing things a little for this year, I recognise not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .

So today I share, a cute Lady Bird a perfect choice for mid-spring.

Welcome to my Corner of the World

The side step fun fold card is a lot of fun to do, but there is a lot of measuring and cutting the base card to create the different levels. Today’s card with a video tutorial shows how to get the same effect by scoring and attaching different panels. I have chosen to feature the Sentimental Park Bundle and share how to color Pearl Basic Jewels to match your color scheme.
