Wednesday Wideo - For the Love of Felt...

A triple treat for you today! 

But before I start... don't forget that today is the last day to earn those Bonus Coupon codes with your order... and tomorrow is the first day that you can spend them! Just click here to learn more... or remind yourself!

But back to today! Project samples, product walk through... and a video too...

Click here or on the picture below to see the video of product and the samples being made up...

I got the chance to make up these card kit samples at our last Training event... so I can actually show you all the made up samples "in the flesh"... Though I seem to remember I went slightly off-piste with the top left one! 

Nice set of cards to make up... look special but easy enough with all the lovely felt embellishments... and what a nice card keeper box too!!!

And here are the parts that make up the kit... which makes up 12 cards in total...

And here is the co-ordinating and lovely For the Love of Felt stamp set...

Tuesday Pressed Petals Two-Fer... #3

Two more for your money with the Pressed Petals papers & suite ... along with the Sorry For Everything stamp set... which I have just been re-united with!

A great stamp set to say those things that are difficult to say... and that just need adding to a card when you need it... rather than being pre-made and put in a box ready to go!!

Though I have to admit that I definitely prefer to have them made and ready for when I need them... but I seem to be on my own in that regard! How about you?

And a round up shot of the cards in the series so far for you too!

Both these cards are larger than usual... as that was just the way they worked out as I trimmed them to size based upon the paper panels as they come...

And they are both different sizes... but in hindsight I would use the same size Merry Merlot card blank.... and trim my pre-prepared panel to suit! Life is so much easier that way!

So I started to re-calculate... but then I realised that I didn't even have any envelopes that I could pop these into... as C5s are too large and 5x7"s are too small...

Though I do have some 16cm Square (6 5/16") envelopes that would actually fit the shorter (wood background) card in... in a fashion!

So sorry (as the stamp set says!)... no time for a total re-design this week... so I have to quickly move on... and I will just have to remember to make up a bespoke envelope when the time comes!! 

But... for your information...  both cards are 14cm/5 1/2" wide... the taller at 6 3/4"(script background) and the shorter at 6 1/4" (wood background)

And being honest... me being me... I would re-make to a 14cm/5 1/2" Square card if I was starting from scratch! Especially the wood background one... which would then just be the same as the recipe shared here... 

More Pressed Petals on Monday... #2

Following on with my #simplestamping little Pressed Petals series...  here's another of the pre-decorated card panels quickly made up into a card...

Using wood on wood this time... as the paper pack does have some lovely background papers to set off these panels...

Cad and mat details the same as this earlier card in the series... but with 10.5 x 13.5cm (4 1/8" x 5 5/16") flowery and 3.5 x 13.5cm (1 3/8" x 5 5/16") wood paper panels this time

And finished off with a Merry Merlot Butterfly Wishes small punched butterfly...

Pressed Petals Keeping It Simple.. #1

After creating the 2 Pop Up Cards shared here (with Tutorial) and here...

I thought it time to do something with those ready made panels I had carefully trimmed when I opened the paper pack... See the sheet to the left hand side in the photo below...

A few minutes later and the first card was made... proving that these panels are just the thing to have to hand when you are in a rush for a card... or indeed a handmade gift... or packaging... as they are kind of a card topper... decorated and ready to go...

Large Square card (14cm Square or 5 1/2" Square) with 9cm (3 9/16") Very Vanilla mat... for the  3 1/2"/8.9cm cut panel... With side paper panels 6.7cm x 13.5cm (2 5/8" x 5 5/16")

Greetings from Magnolia Blooms  - white embossed in centre... Mossy Meadow around the edges...

Finished off with a doubled small Linen Thread bow...

Very Versailles Flat Pop Up Card

Another very clean & simple version of the Pop Up Front Step Panel card (aka Flat Pop Up Card as I also saw it called yesterday) |

And sorry but I will have to be quick with my share today... as we have a lovely heatwave going on in the UK at the moment... and this room with the PC is in full sun at the moment... and so VERY hot!

So this time I have used my new Very Versailles... along with the fabulous Daisy Lane... and my Gray Granite/Daffodil Delight/Whisper White colour combi...

More details on the daisies here...
