Thursday 3" ers...

Cut a lovely piece of 12x12 Awash in Beauty paper into 3" wide strips...and what do you get? 

Well ... and very simply... 16 of these cards from one pack of papers... 

I have set on a DL card base (aka Tall Skinny card) but you can  set on a standard A6 (or US A2) card blank too... you'd just cut more of the paper height away!

And for those of you asking me about paper kits and tutorials over the past week... here you go... just scroll back to see more pictures of the other 2 fancy fold cards included...

My Awash in Beauty co-ordinating paper kit for those of you in the UK... and PDF tutorials for everyone else and UK!

Simple on Saturday - alternative For The Guys kit card

Just a slightly different alternative layout from the standard For The Guys kit supplied design...

I don't think it will be of any surprise to my long term followers that this is my favourite Kit - probably of all time!

And that I have thoroughly enjoyed designing alternatives... so many more to come...

Fun Fold Friday - alternative For The Guys Bridge Fold Card

Quick share of an alternative make using the For The Guys kit... 

But before I start today... if you have not already done so... please click and accept the follow.it service if you still wish to be automatically notified when I post on this blog... as I will be turning the "old" Google Email notification of a blog post off very shortly... 

A(nother) bridge fold card.... For The Guys card kit used along with my old faithful stamp set, Sailing Home... but back another day with more details... as I am afraid I really must dash!

Tuesday Twofer - Sentimental Rose

Another couple of alternative cards using the Sentimental Rose stamps and inks provided in the Basic Kit...

With extra decoration on the inside too...

Same colourway - Gray Granite, Costal Cabana, Old Olive and Whisper White - just in different orientations...

Using the Gray Granite with the flower and leaf stamps to create the background makes for a stunning effect.... start with the flower and then remember to fill in the gaps with the leaf stamp... I forgot until afterwards!!! 

Simple Saturday -Sentimental Rose alternative project #3

Another quick share for you today... 

With another alternative project using the lovely Sentimental Rose kit stamps... 

They will keep giving after all...

All set on an Angled Corner Layer card ...

Sentimental Rose alternative project #2

Just a quick share for you to day... Showing you another use for your lovely Sentimental Rose kit stamps... 

The stamps that keep giving! Long after the kit has been used...

The son and heir has been home for a little while so my focus went elsewhere! 

Fun Fold Friday - Simply Elegant A6 Pop Out Panel Card with new Tutorial

Still loving the Simple Elegant papers... with an A6 Pop Out Panel Card variant... 

Used along with the stamps from the new Sentimental Rose Card Kit... as the leaf images co-ordinate so well together!

Fantastic set of greeting stamps in this set... plus a flower(s!) and leaves too... 

Such a versatile set of stamps... everyone should have this in their stash... and this Kit is highly recommended for a quick and easy card making session at home... such pretty cards...

And I still can't believe the value of these new Card Kits... stamps, ink, clear block and 9+ cards then kind of for free! Or vice versa!

Greeting frame care of the Stitched So Sweetly dies...

This is a tweak of the measurements used in this previous version of the card... as I realised that the card could look better and more balanced in a C6 envelope... so it just had to be done! This will now be my go-to A6 size...
