Wednesday Greetings with Around the Corner

Hello There Note Card Tutorial
Framing layers can be super fun, but it doesn't have to take tons of math to do it either.  Three different colors of cardstock can look amazing when cut to the same size.  They just frame one corner instead of the whole layer.

Two-Tone Tuesday with Around The Corner

It's Your Day Card Tutorial
Petal Pink and the new Terracotta Tile are a great pair for a two-tone effect.  This card looks like a Designer Series Paper (DSP) because the Petal Pink Ink is stamped all over the card front.  And the sentiment stands out since it is in the darker Terracotta Tile.

Make It Monday with Around The Corner

It's Your Day Card Tutorial
It's Christmas in July in the Fair family today, with not one but THREE birthdays.  And, of course, I'm making cards. 😜  A very happy birthday to Seth, Roberto, and my husband Matt.

This week I'll be showcasing designs using the Around The Corner Stamp Set.  I love this stamp set for it's fun use of space on paper: the corner.  Often we make the center of our paper crafting the focal point, but not with this stamp set!  It's all about the corners and using space.  It's a fun way to try something new!
