Monday mess up(s)!

So when I posted this Field of Flowers card on Friday... I didn't own up to the full story... 

As that card was the first in a series of boo boos that produced this card! Which sadly ended up destined for the bin!!

So Friday's card was a rookie error... I unintentionally left the aperture mask on whilst I created the sponged grassy meadow! So I then took the mask off... and sponged over the whole area as intended... but of course the circular element still shone through!! Boo Boo no. 1...

But then I thought... I could add some "out of the frame" interest as is my way! So out came the large square card (14cm/5 1/2" Square).. and using the stamped panel as a guide... I stamped the silhouette image off to the right and to the left... but my lining up was... rubbish!! Boo Boo no. 2...

So ... never to be defeated.... I overstamped the image more...  above on the one side and below on the other... so adding depth and covering up my multi level boo boo! Yup... I can get away with that! And perfect for a birthday card for a friend and customer that I needed to get in the post 5 minutes later...

And then it happened... Boo Boo no. 3... I dropped the ink pad on the card! Muchso expletives I can assure you! So my friend got a card from my stash instead...

And this card hit the bin... but I am sure you can get the idea off what it should have looked like...

And this is the inside... a multi layered stamping of the leafy image... so as to make my cover up of Boo Boo no 2 seem more intended!

Friday Field of Flowers...

Another Friday... and another Field of Flowers card for you... 

Back with more Field of Flowers cards this weekend... along with the details of the Field of Flowers Class in the Mail... but sorry... must dash today...

And how opportune it is that the 2 Stamp sets I have been using most recently start with T and F... Todays Tiles for Tuesdays and Thursdays and Field of Flowers for Fridays! Couldn't have planned that better for the last few weeks posts!

Sneak peak - Field of Flowers Thank Yous...

So first play with my favourite bundle, Field of Flowers that I could pre-order from the new 2020-2021 Catalogue... along with the new Tasteful Textiles embossing folder...

With a simple little card for popping in with the catalogues as I posted them out... though sadly none of the new In Colors could be played with as usual ... as the ink pads got "stuck" in the system... but  I got to use some of my favourite calming colours instead...

Catalogues have been sent automatically to those ordering over £50 in the last year... and to those of you that requested one recently... but it is not too late to contact me now for your copy if you would like to be your UK demonstrator... It would really be appreciated in these times as I still cannot run my face to face classes for the foreseeable future...

The Field of Flowers bundle is a lovely stamp set along with a co-ordinating Confetti Flowers Border Punch... look for my Coastal Cabana (bluey!) flowers to see the punched images... such useful sized flowers for lots of projects using this stamp set - or not! For stamped images - or not!

Love this new embossing folder... it is called Tasteful Textiles as it has a fabric texture and feel... but I also think it is the texture of many a watercolour paper so it will be very useful for Faux Watercolour effects too...

I will be offering a Class in the Mail Kit for this bundle... more details to follow but it will be about £35 for the Base Kit ... so please email me by clicking here if you are interested... No obligations at this time...

Colours Used - Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock, Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana

Craft Spa at Home... Share What You Love Kit

I had a lot of people contact me wanting a postal kit to share in the love of the Share What You love papers & Lovely Floral embossing folder - with a focus on co-ordinating card, ribbon and embellishments... of which there are plenty to choose from...

So after  - a few (cough!) complications in some individual requirements - this is the Share What You Love at Home Kit I have put together... so thought I should share the details here... just in case anyone else is interested...

Note that invoices will be sent via Paypal unless we already have alternative arrangements in place...

Topiary Trio...

You probably can't get much more simple than this... but it has definitely caught the eye of many a lady in my class(room)

Made by me for no apparent reason whatsoever... I just happened to have a couple of coloured and die cut topiary trees from the Charming Cafe stamps and Cafe Builder dies laying around... so I made another.... and now a simple little make selected by my ladies for April classes...

Which now makes 4 cards designed and made a whole month in advance for my April Card Buffet Classes!! About half way there... Never been known before...

So... another small square card blank...  ie 10.5cm from A4 or 4 1/4" from US Letter cardstock... which is a size I seem to be suddenly using for 80% of my card makes this year! With an 8cm (3 1/4") Old Olive mat... and a 7.5cm (3") Whisper White panel...

Topiary bushes stamped in Memento Black... coloured & blended in using Old Olive and Smoky Slate Dark & Light Stampin Blends ... with Light Pool Party around the edge to add definition... and finished off with a simple greeting (also from Charming Cafe)

And I can't tell you how useful the new Mini Stampin Dimensionals were for this card!!! Perfect!
