Share What You Love cards

So a few of the eagle-eyed amongst you asked about the cards I shared in my Craft Spa at Home Kit post yesterday... and then I realised that I hadn't actually shared most of these...

So first up... some more of my 3 in 1 Z Fold cards....which were made to go out with the new catalogues I posted last week... click here for the Tutorial...

And second up... some more of my small (A7) sized Pop Out Swing cards... just because they are a nice way to show the different papers off... and the use of the fussy cut flowers from the papers themselves... Click here for the Tutorial...

And it is still not too late to order your own Craft Spa at Home Share What You Love Kit... click here for more details... I will be ordering in just 2 days time though...

And here are some more close up photos for you... these really are lovely papers... you just can't go wrong with these...

Told you there is a lot going on!!

And so back to the card...

Have to admit that this card is definitely difficult to photo... as they are a lot cuter in the flesh... and picked up by everyone around here!

Card Tutorial shared here...

Decoration really all about the gorgeous Share What You Love papers... with the flowers being fussy cut from one of the sheets...

And difficult to see...but the small flower centre on the bottom right is actually separately fussy cut and 3Dd with a Mini Stampin Dimensional... as that way I got to use the incomplete flowers at the edges of the paper too!

And I have also added a Share What You Love pearl to the centre of that flower centre...

As well as a quick colour in of the centres of the Old Olive trio with a white Signo gel pen.

Note that these tiny pearls are the pearls included in the Share What You Love bundles... not the Faceted Dots that I mentioned here last week... oops!

The greeting is from Perennial Birthday ...in Rich Razzleberry and Basic Black... and I faux-stitched with a Rich Razzleberry marker pen this time...

Label Me Pretty for All Occasions

Seem familiar? Look again...

The small A7 cards shared yesterday had a quick make-over using the new Label Me Pretty stamps and the co-ordinating Pretty Label Punch... so now cards for all occasions...

Label Me Pretty bundles available with 10% off - clear mount here and wood mount here

So in Tranquil Tide... You're the Best...

In Fresh Fig... From My Kitchen to Yours...

In Berry Burst... Thank You for caring...

A more floral Happy Birthday label...in Lemon Lime Twist... (Though I have to admit this doesn't do it for me!!! Really does need more Berry Burst than Powder Pink...)

And finally remaining as the original Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamped label... in Powder Pink...

2017-19 In Colors introduction!!

Oh how rude of me... I haven't formally introduced you all to the new In Colors!! Which I have been using for a few weeks so they may not seem so new after all!!

But seems like a good time for a quick colour show and tell using some ever-so-cute and simple Fresh Florals , Pretty Label & Happy Birthday Gorgeous A7 cards we made in Julie's training a couple of months ago! These cards may be small and super simple but they have caught the eye of everyone that has seen my display...

Plus a round up of projects posted over the last week or so- just click on the project photo to go to those as they all have tutorials too...

First up...Tranquil Tide.... I do have to admit to loving all these new in colors... I think they are the best collection we have ever had... but this is my overall favourite new colour...

Oops - 2 other Tranquil Tide projects made but not posted yet... and I am really not in a tutorial writing zone today! So guess what is coming next week!! 

Secondly... the bright and exciting Lemon Lime Twist... try feeling sad after you use this colour... impossible!!

Thirdly... the colour I have actually used the most... Berry Burst... a really deep pink... but lovely and bright... and my favourite pink of all the pinks... 

Fourthly , the deep and fruity Fresh Fig... 

And last ...but not least... Powder Pink... my perfect pale pink... between the more vintage Blushing Bride and the lighter but brighter Pink Pirouette...

And here they are all together again... such cute cards. Click here for a quick A7 card tutorial if you need one...

A CUTE Whole Lot of Lovely Trio!

Love these little A7 cards... so much so I had to create 3 with my Whole Lot of Lovely paper leftovers!... I think you can safely say I don't have a lot left from my 6x6 training kit....

So what is an A7 card... well half an A6 one in size... so 4 cards from one sheet of A4... what is not to love!

(1) Pick up a piece of A4 card
(2) Cut in half  PORTRAIT (short edge along top) at 10.5cm
(3) Cut in half  LANDSCAPE (long edge along top) at 14.8cm (so you now have a 14.8 x 10.5cm panel!)
(4) Score in half (LANDSCAPE) at 7.4cm
(5) Repeat until you have 4 cards!

So cute!

And for my US readers... that is the equivalent of half your A2 card! Is there such a thing?

Wording on this last one from the fabulous Colorful Seasons ... lots more on that set another day!

Decoration using the co-ordinating Lots of Love stamp set, Shimmer Pear Pizzazz ribbon and Gold Mini Sequin Trim
