Bike Ride Shadow Box Frames for 3D Thursday

Had to share these Bike Ride Shadow Box Frames as they are just stunning... but Kate does not have a blog set up to share with you... so I am honoured she is letting me do so ....

These are a set and match to this birthday card I was sent by the lovely Kate...  the first one is in a large 12" or so Box Frame... whereas the second one for Amelia is in a smaller 9" one.

Which I am sharing again so you can see the close up picture that I took later of the lovely glittery Pattern Party Mask wall Kate created using Dazzling Diamonds glitter in the Embossing Paste... as well as a little Sahara Sand re-inker... 

Thanks for letting me share these Kate...

And I love the use of the Playful Pennants banner... quick but magic finishing touch...

Treehouse Adventure 3D Box Frame for 3D Thursday

Something really special to share with you today... and I just know that you are going to love it too...

But I can take NO credit... as this masterpiece has been created by the lovely Kate Cooper in my Stampin Up team of Craft Therapists... didn't she do VERY well...

So back to the project... which uses Treehouse Adventure & the "huge" Make A Difference alphabet stamp set... and sits in a 3D Box Frame to make it all the more special...

All I can say is lucky Will & Becca... and Kate... the Treehouse Adventure stamp set is now definitely on my next order! As it didn't take much to twist my arm on this one... it is a stamp that "has my heart" after all...

Sweet & Sassy Team Thanks for Joining Us...

Very quick share today... of a trio of Sweet & Sassy heart die cut cards made to welcome some lovely new members to my Craft Therapists Stampin' Up! team last month...

The wording (care of All Things Thanks) says it all... and I can't wait to see where their journeys take them... in the months (& years) ahead!

Papers from Petal Passion... on an Basic Black mat... on a Thick Whisper White small square card blank (10.5cm or US Letter 4 1/4") and finished off with a little sparkle care of a Rhinestone Basics Jewel

Foil Frenzy & Crafting Forever Concertina Card

The perfect way to celebrate a milestone moment for Betty in my Craft Therapists team... a specially designed new card with our new Crafting Forever stamp set and some special shiny Foil Frenzy paper which proved perfect for the job!

Firstly, the card fold... I have shared many a Scallop Tag Topper Concertina card over the years since we first made one at Julie's training. But they all had 10 panels and more preparation/decoration... click here for the tutorial for the 10 panel ones...

The tutorial for this one will be another day...but this version has 14 panels allowing me to include the 11 letters in the Bronze Elite words plus 3 more for decoration... and this one is a lot simpler and quicker to decorate care of the thickness of the Foil Frenzy papers...

And secondly, the paper. The Tangerine Tango foiled papers in the very shiny Foil Frenzy pack are fantastic coupled with the Copper Foil to mark such a Bronze Elite occasion...

I also used greetings from Happy Birthday Gorgeous (very glad I bought this stamp set... have to admit that I have had a lot of use out of it - many unexpected!), the wonderful Scallop Tag Topper Punch and the Classic Label punch
