Trusty Tools - Round Up

 

A quick group shot of the Trusty Tools card designs made so far... just scroll back through the last 7 posts to see the individual cards and more details...

Edited to Add! Free Shipping promotion extended until the end of today Wednesday, 24 July.

It was Free Shipping for 24 hours only yesterday... but it turned out to be another day of worldwide internet issues! (You should have heard my DH when he got back from work!!!) ... so huge apologies if you tried and failed yesterday... but happily Stampin' Up! have extended the promotion so you don't miss out after all...

Trusty Tools #2... and 16 years already!

Before I share the next in my Trusty Tools series of cards....

I must admit that I'm celebrating an anniversary today... 16 years of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! Wow! Seriously doesn't seem that long... but you know what they say about when you are enjoying something!!! 

Anyways... back to today's card... 

Another Bench Fold card... 

Well its been a while since I made one!

Bench Fold Card Tutorials are now available for the Desks & Dressing Table and the Shop Window...

And finally... I can now say that I have finished the next 2 series of Bench Fold Card Tutorials... only taken 5 weeks solid between start and finish! Wow! 5 times longer than I ever ever expected! Such is life at the moment!

So more details for you... Click on the highlighted card name to go straight to the relevant blog post with more photos... 

Series Two covers the Dressing Table...

The Crafters Desk...

And the Student Desk... 

Series Three covers the Shop Window...

I wanted to create another version- or two ... but I reckon it would take me another 3-4 weeks the way things have gone... so I stopped myself! And so note that this is just the one... 

And you can also get Series One at the same time - on its own - or for a reduced rate if you buy all three at the same time... 

This covers the Aga (ie Range cooker), BBQ and the Tool Bench... 

Best Dressed Dressing Table Bench Fold Card

I guess a lot of you knew one of these was coming! A dressing table just had to be created with the wonderful Best Dressed papers and suite... Simply perfect!

And I tried out a few new concepts as I created it... and I love the results... in particular spot the detail under the chests of drawers at either side... the fancy mirror... and the long central drawer...

And to celebrate... I thought it high time I rolled out Series Two... and Series Three of my Bench Fold Card Tutorials... again in written pdf form with step by step photos ... emailed to your inbox!

Series Two covers this Dressing Table...

The Crafters Desk...

And the Student Desk... so so sorry I have been so long coming back to this one...

Series Three covers the Shop Window shared yesterday... 

And you can also get Series One at the same time - for a significantly reduced rate if you buy all three... This covers the Aga (ie Range cooker), BBQ and the Tool Bench...

Retail Therapy anyone? Best Dressed Bench Fold Shop Window Card

Love these new girlie Best Dressed papers, Dressed to Impress stamp set and the whole Best Dressed Suite... not like anything that I have had before!

And love the new Bench Fold Card design that they inspired... call this one the Shop Window!

Been wanting to make a window for a while! And these images just gave me the perfect excuse... I can see a few variants of these over the months and years ahead!

And yes it does fold up flat to go in an envelope... though I think I will have to pop this one in an extra large square one to fit the canopy in...

Only been three years since the first series!

And I wonder where that list I wrote 3 years ago is... of nearly 100 different projects for my Bench Fold design! And I have to admit that I have thought of more to add recently!
