Happy New Year...

 

Merry Christmas to you all...

It's that time... a few days of well earned time with family and very close friends... as we can this year... though sadly my brother ended up stuck in Boston, USA as he caught Covid at just the wrong time to catch his flight over here... 

I would also like to say rest... but that isn't the case for we "head chefs"... especially when the usual 3 days of Christmas cheer and over-eating turns into 5 (as is the case this year!)

Have a VERY Merry Christmas and I hope you are spending special times with family and friends this season... 

And remember these - these are the Simply Created Banners in a Kit available from Stampin' Up! a few years back... the ones with the alphabet & pattern stencils and the spritzer bottles - though we used sponge brayers and sponges- as the spritzers didn't work for me on this occasion... lots of excess seapage... though I do really rate them generally...

Used along with the Peppermint & Gingerbread papers - simples!

Gingerbread & Peppermint 5 ways...

Super clean & simple...but very effective...

Couple of different designs... using Kraft card... which carries over next year btw...

Though sadly the stamps and dies are now sold out... though there are still a few papers left...

Wednesday Wow - Peaceful Place lit church & winter scene...

Loved creating this project for display at christmas time... 

Using the Peaceful Place papers (sold out!),  Tombstone Treat boxes, Welcoming Window & Giving Gifts dies (sold out too)...  and a few battery tealights 

As well as a lovely tray picked up from "Poundland"!! Though it did cost much more than £1....

Double Pop Up Concertina House Card #3

Wow... just where have the last 2 weeks gone! High time I started sharing more of my Christmas makes before Christmas is over!! But I will have to be brief...

Couldn't resist making another of these before I put everything away... made especially for a neighbour... who's house has newly painted white walls and grey windows with topiary balls at the front door!

Perfect!

Fun Fold Friday - Whimsy & Wonder Double Pop Up Concertina Card

Time for another of these Double Pop Up Concertina House cards... though this one is simpler (and a lot quicker to make) - as the Whimsy & Wonder papers do most of the decorative work.... as well as a bit of Brick & Mortar embossing and use of Perfectly Plaid and Welcoming Window...

But before I start... I hope you got what you wanted from the Last Chance List and the Clearance Rack... as many many items are now discontinued... and not orderable... which explains why you can't see them!

However... there are also many items "stuck in transit" somewhere... or due in next week or later.. and so unfortunately not orderable too... So if there is something you really really want... be sure to email (or use the contact me box down the right hand side of the page) and I can check when more stock is due... so then you know when you may be able to order...

And these Whimsy & Wonder papers fall into this latter category - more stock is due in this week... so hopefully will get booked in today... which I am delighted about as I have rather fallen in love with these stunning papers... such a gorgeous, fresh & contemporary colour combination...

BTW - as I know many of you are wanting them... the Peaceful Place papers are the same ie overdue for this week...

Live in the UK - order the Peaceful Place papers or Peaceful Cabin stamps - and get my Class Tutorial' s for free (Please note that sadly the Cabin dies are now discontinued) Note that a Double Pop Up Concertina card tutorial is included in this Tutorial Package... albeit a different size... though I can easily send these measurements if requested (by email ) at the time of purchase...
