2023 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ March

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, Shamrock Luck! where I have created some shamrocks using heart shaped dies.

Artfully Layered Tropical Birthday Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Well, I know we are in the early part of autumn and I love autumnal colors, but I don’t want to get tooooo lost in them, so today’s card is a combination I have a real love for at the moment ~ Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party. Both of these colors have very tropical sounding names so I have paired them with the Artfully Layered Stamp set as that leaf certainly reminds me of palm trees!

Artfully Composed meets Biggest Wish ~ Guy Card

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Here is a great way to use up your decorative paper, simply cut a 2″ circle and attach it to your card front! I simply chose some of the colors out of the paper, in this case Just Jade and Basic Black and used the card and ink colors to build up the design.

Now I have to admit this card was at the bottom of the pile of designs I had for my blog and I am a little late in posting it as Just Jade has recently retired however you could swap out for Old Olive and still create this style of card.

Embossed Pretty Pumpkins – Stampin Blends Technique # 7

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Continuing my journey to develop my Stampin Blends skills today I use a heat embossed image to color rather than an ink one. I created two different versions using the same stamp set and card layout then switched out my colors, so one is very traditional and the second …. well it is just a little different! Oh … and there is a video tutorial to go with it 🙂
