Saturday Swap duo...

Sharing the last two Happy Mail team swap cards today with another 2 beauties for you... 

First up, a beautiful Pansy Patch creation by Maggie Bottomley... I particularly love Maggie's amazing spacing of the diagonal Very Vanilla strips... such patience!

And then this stunning Beauty of Friendship Z Fold card by Maria Bailey...

And check out the Bark 3D embossing ( hopefully!) in this close up...

Thank you again Maggie and Maria for your gorgeous swaps... I really do thank my lucky stars for being part of such a talented group...

More on Monday - Hand Penned

Another inspiring creation for you today... using the Hand Penned floral stamp set... 

But before I start... don't forget that the extra free £20 Stampin Rewards Craft & Collect promotion for a £200 + order ends today... and that my double gift value offer (for orders £25 to £150) also ends today at 5pm...

Created by our very talented Barbara Norton (who is currently blog-less as we say in the trade.. but I will be sure to pass on any of your messages... ) Thank you for your gorgeous Happy Mail swap Barbara... 

CLICK HERE for the details on the Hand Penned stamps and all the Suite... And I do have to admit that this bundle and suite is appealing to me more and more every-time I look at it... check out those fabulous Penned Flowers dies... 

Barbara used an Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Pale Papaya colour scheme... with a shiny touch of gold embossing powder to highlight... along with a Happy Thoughts sentiment punched out using the (retired) Story Label punch...

And the Happy Thoughts sentiment stamp set is one well worth checking out... as not only is it only £10 in the Sale... but it has a range of "similar sized" greetings ... so particularly useful for a quick stamp & punch to add to a card as you need it... though it is retiring soon ..so you will have to be quick...

Thursday Trio - Elegantly Said Flowers of Friendship

Quick share of the mini A7 sized Elegantly Said & Flowers of Friendship cards I sent out with the new catalogues earlier this year... 

Well I had to play with all my new 2021-2023 In Colors at the time... 

As well as send out a In Color Shimmer Vellum feature... as the shimmer of these Vellum sheets is gorgeous in the flesh...

Loved these mini cards... Though it surprised me that my favourite was the Pale Papaya one...

 

Tuesday Trio of Trees for all seasons...

Today we have a card with a stunning trio of multi-coloured Inspiring Canopy die cut trees by the very talented Uma Kathirgamanathan of A Sense of Uma blog fame... 

A tree for every season (bar the winter plain branches)... simply gorgeous... 

Thanks so much (again) for the happy mail and for swapping with me Uma... 

Uma also used the co-ordinating Inspired Thoughts for the greetings... 

And the Picture This dies for the 3 rectangle apertures... 

Spot the dash-dot faux stitching round each of the apertures...

Click here for Uma's post of another version of this card using the Beauty of The Earth papers... and a Facebook Live too...

And here are some more projects using these 2 wonderful products... I am definitely sold on both these now!! They do work together SO well... Expensive swap card Uma...
