Potting Shed Pop Out Gatefold Card

Oh we all really liked this Garden Shed card...

Which was a good job... as it did take a while to get all the bits together!! Though the card is simple enough at the end...

Using the soon retiring Home & Garden bundle (ooh...  buy both the stamps and dies separately at half price off the Last Chance List come 1st June! Just £23.50 for both ... though I don't think they will stay around for long at that price!

And the must have (IMHO) Timber embossing folder... spot the scored planks we scored... no idea why I'd never thought of doing that before... so simple but so realistic...

Wither the retired and no longer available Bloom Where You're Planted papers and Welcoming Windows bundle for the flower & pots

Sorry to have gone AWOL for a while... I was busy creating for a class.. and then had various - for no apparent reason - aches and pains... which is stopping me from spending as much time on the PC as I need...

But I now have lots of cards created and ready to to share over the next few weeks... so lets hope those niggles just "do one"... and I can get back to doing things more normally...

Tuesday Tip & Tipple... Brewed For You #1

No matter the beer... we have a glass for you! Introducing the new Brewed For You stamp set & bundle... 

And the back story... what is a girl to do when faced with a birthday of someone special... but no card made... and only minutes to spare...

Why re-use an old favourite card of course... using the long retired Another Great Year stamp... dressed up for a new occasion... Cheers!

And I also have to admit to initially forgetting to add the froth to my beer... so that was added later on this occasion... hence the difference in photos... so I thought I'd share both versions...

And I like the finished result so much.... as well as having discovered the Simple aka Faux Centre Step Card version of the card fold this year... that you will see a re-make soon... but using some lovely new papers...

 

And the Tip for today... 

Spot the sheen on the glasses... simply care off a swoosh of a Versamark pad all over the top of the stamped glass image.... followed by a sprinkling of clear embossing powder... and then heated to melt... Oh... and tweezers came in handy!

And then it makes perfect sense to add the froth separately!
