At Stately (or no 10 Downing Street) Home with you!!?

I thought I would give you a laugh for the weekend... this is a At Home With You card that did not quite work out as planned... some different ideas but the final overall execution... well you know... not quite what I had in my head originally!

It quickly got dubbed my Stately Home or no 10 Downing Street card (home of UK Prime Minister for those of you that don't know the address!)... or of course "another Tardis in the making" card... none of which were the original concept...

So I will just point out the details rather than comment on the whole...

Opening door this time as per the original concept of the At Home dies.... love that feature...

White picket fence care of chopped down Adirondack chairs from the Seasonal Layers dies... plus daisies care of one of the At Home With You stamp images...

And the crowning glory... Planter care of the Seasonal Layers Adirondack chair chopped down again ...and flowers from a different At Home With You pot...

So there you have it....  only taken me 4 months or so to share it!!!

Bath with Champagne... Sunken Bench Fold Card!!

Can't believe I didn't share this card with you ages ago....  This is the alternative card I came up with for Karen's 50th birthday as another of our friends, Andrea had already made the Red Aga (Kitchen Range!) card for her.... click here for that card and the back story...

So I have more to tell you about Karen today.... not only is she a master baker... but she is rather partial to a glass of Champagne (or Prosecco when needs must!)

Hence the add of the champagne flute to both the Aga and the Bath card....

And yes this card does "sink down" so you get the bottom of the bath at the bottom of the card.... fun!

And then I had so much fun.... and went a bit mad... care of images I came upon on the Internet... a true one off in decoration!

As Karen likes a spot of Limoncello with her Prosecco...

But her first love from the bar is actually Bacardi and Coke!!

And she loves here Jo Malone... so on it all went... too much fun on my part....

Needless to say Karen loved her bespoke card... and the Bath Card and the Red Aga Card took pride of place at Karen's 50th Birthday party... though I am not sure all the other party goers understood the excitement over them!! But they did all learn a bit more about Karen!!! LOL...

I haven't completed the tutorial for the details of this version yet... but the tutorial for the Bench Fold Card Series ONE set of Aga, BBQ and Tool Bench can be yours by clicking here... it is the same card/fold...

Stamps used are Mixed Drinks for the glasses and Milestone Moments... Tap & shower spray care of the Adirondack Chair in the Seasonal Layers dies... unfortunately no close up photo taken at the time...

And yes it does all fold flat to fit in an envelope...
