Simple on Sunday - Grassy Grove & New Horizons Aperture Card



This is my favourite card so far in my New Horizons & Grassy Grove series... so simple... but a stunner...

Just a Grassy Grove die cut in a portrait tent fold card blank... And then a quick trim of the card blank to 4" wide... which happens to neaten... and "best even out" those tree trunk widths to either side... Trust me you will know exactly what that means should you make one...

Then a stamped 4" x 3"H (7.5cm) paper piece inserted for the background... 

With a quick trim of the leftover bottom 3"H piece for that front base panel.... ie trimmed to best match my aperture positioning... so everyone will be slightly different (though for info - mine is  4.5cm - about 1 3/4" high)

Fussy cut On the Horizons greeting... and finished off with a piece of Black Twine...

And here are the 2 cards primarily created from that one piece of paper...

And hopefully the following picture will save a 1000 words about the paper cutting for the 2 cards...

Fancy Fold Friday - another New Horizons Easy Step Card


Another of the portrait Easy Step Cards to share with you... again combining the fabulous New Horizons papers with the In The Moments stamp set and On the Horizon stamps...  

I used a couple of different paper patterns from the pack as the long thin strip was actually a scrap from another card...
And here is what I did with the 4th square leftover from the Trio of Square cards posted here..... 

So a card with a more colourful wardrobe below... but far less colouring and less fussy cutting on the original above...

Thursday Team Swap Share


Starting to share some cards made by some of my very talented and lovely friends and fellow demonstrators in our team... as from time to time... we create a set of cards and then swap with each other to provide each of us with samples to share featuring different products, projects and styles...

First up... a lovely scenic card by Julie Kettlewell at The Paper Haven using one of my favourite stamp sets in the Jan - June seasonal catalogue, called Oceanfront...

And an admittance as to why Oceanfront is one of my favourites!!? Well, I can't draw for toffee... not even pin men! But there has always been one beach side scene that I could sketch out... and guess what... it's covered in the Oceanfront elements!! So much so that I almost feel like I drew the images for this stamp set myself... LOL! 

About time I had a play me thinks... and I may even share a little sketch!! Always good for a laugh...

Wednesday Wideo featuring Grassy Grove Bundle...

So I've already had a lot of use of my Grassy Grove dies... 

The main die cut tree canopy image definitely being an all time favourite of mine... especially as it teams so perfectly with the New Horizons papers or simple swooshed backgrounds to create a simple but stunning card for any occasion... more to come on these another day!

But I thought I should quickly share some more creations to showcase more aspects of the Grassy Grove bundle...

Starting with a video... 

Showing you how to create these two beautiful cards... and/or CLICK HERE for the written instructions ...

And for those of you that prefer the individual card images... here's a round up of all 5 cards featured today... and/or CLICK HERE for the recipes for all 5...
