Happy ( More Perfectly Pencilled W Folds) Easter!

Wow... these photos took a bit of finding and sorting out! 

But here you go...

Happy W Fold Easter using Perfectly Pencilled papers 5 ways... 

FYI... the papers are reduced by 30%... so only £7.87 a pack now ... but only while supplies last! 

Just glad I found these four before this Easter was over!

Plus the one I shared last Friday...

Spot the difference... Stampin Blends coloured in leaves and flowers on the papers...or not...

Spot the difference... Stampin Blends coloured in flower petals on the papers...or just the centres coloured in...

And a 5 ways group shot! Boy am I going to miss Bermuda Bay!

Fancy Fold Friday - Double W Fold Card - Fitting Florets

A very quick share of another Double W Fold card... featuring the gorgeous Fitting Florets papers... the Alphabest stamp & punch bundle... and A La Mode dies...

Oh and before I start... don't forget... now only 5 days of Sale A Bration left...

Different (aka more standard) sizing to this earlier one...

So I will be back on Tuesday with the recipes and instructions... as I really must dash now...

Fun Fold Friday - He's The Man Simple Faux Step Card

 

Another Large Faux Step card (aka Simple or Easy Step Card)

Again using the new He's the Man papers... and the Biggest Wish stamps for the greetings... 

With images from the retired Stampin' Up! Classic Garage papers for the car, wheel trim and bike...

And more apologies for the quick post... but as an avid ex tennis player... I have to admit that Wimbledon has caught my eye somewhat this week...  It's the first time for years that I have allowed myself to watch anymore than the finals... and I am loving it! 

Doing me the world of good... though I had to laugh at myself on the first afternoon I watched... as I felt so guilty... and was visibly twitching... as it is SO long since I just sat and watched something during the day!! It just didn't feel right!! Good job that feeling left me pretty soon!!

More Brewed For You and He's The Man...

 

Another Faux (aka Easy or Simple) Step card using the new He's the Man papers... 

And the new Brewed For You stamps and dies... and Biggest Wish stamps... and a Cheers! from some random stash....

Looks similar to last Friday's post... but this is a standard A6 sized card... whereas last weeks was on a 7"x5" card...

Back with more information on these sometime soon... 

All Day class with friends tomorrow... which means I have loads more made to share...

Sunday Swap - Grassy Grove

From time to time... part of our team of intrepid (and incredibly talented and creative!) demonstrators create a set of cards and then swap with each other to provide each of us with samples of different products, projects and styles...

And this month was the time for our latest Team Swap! I created a set of 10 cards using the Grassy Grove dies... which I have to admit may prove to be my most popular die of all time!!

My original plan was to use the wonderful New Horizons papers... but delays to stocks being in place in Europe meant I had to come up with a Plan B... though my papers did turn up the day after the deadline! And they are indeed perfect for this little scene...

So a bit of Baby Wipe Swoosh ( or Swipe) on Shimmery White card was the order of the day... using Soft Succulent and Balmy Blue to produce a dreamy backdrop... with a touch of Soft Succulent stamped grasses at the bottom...

Added a couple of deer to my 3D scene... and finished off with the beautiful greeting from Nature's Harvest in Evening Evergreen... I just thought this was the perfect sentiment for my little scene...

And I had to share the full set of backgrounds... as I love that they changed as time crept on... as the Baby Wipe got less and less moist... 

Oh .. and did I mention... I designed a simple but fun fancy fold whilst I was at it... as I found that the die cut card blank wanted to splay... and so collapse! So an extra insert was the order of the day... and so I guess you could call this a Simple Diorama Card Fold...

Just a 14.8 x 5cm piece of card scored whilst portrait at 1, 2.5 and 4cm... folded valley, mountain, valley... and stuck to the bottom of the card... (For my US friends... 5 1/2" x 2"... scored whilst portrait at 3/8", 1" and 1 5/8")

And yes you've guessed it... I now have 9 wonderful swapped cards to share at some point... though I have quite a lot of other projects to share first... including some New Horizons versions... so they will be for another day! 

Fun Fold Friday - Whimsy & Wonder Double Pop Up Concertina Card

Time for another of these Double Pop Up Concertina House cards... though this one is simpler (and a lot quicker to make) - as the Whimsy & Wonder papers do most of the decorative work.... as well as a bit of Brick & Mortar embossing and use of Perfectly Plaid and Welcoming Window...

But before I start... I hope you got what you wanted from the Last Chance List and the Clearance Rack... as many many items are now discontinued... and not orderable... which explains why you can't see them!

However... there are also many items "stuck in transit" somewhere... or due in next week or later.. and so unfortunately not orderable too... So if there is something you really really want... be sure to email (or use the contact me box down the right hand side of the page) and I can check when more stock is due... so then you know when you may be able to order...

And these Whimsy & Wonder papers fall into this latter category - more stock is due in this week... so hopefully will get booked in today... which I am delighted about as I have rather fallen in love with these stunning papers... such a gorgeous, fresh & contemporary colour combination...

BTW - as I know many of you are wanting them... the Peaceful Place papers are the same ie overdue for this week...

Live in the UK - order the Peaceful Place papers or Peaceful Cabin stamps - and get my Class Tutorial' s for free (Please note that sadly the Cabin dies are now discontinued) Note that a Double Pop Up Concertina card tutorial is included in this Tutorial Package... albeit a different size... though I can easily send these measurements if requested (by email ) at the time of purchase...

Merry Monday - Whimsy & Wonder Lock & Pop Card

Another one we all enjoyed creating last week... using the beautiful Whimsy & Wonder papers...along with a Wonderful Snowflake... and the Christmas Season stamps & dies... 

Click HERE for the Lock & Pop Card fold tutorial I shared earlier...

And don't forget to come back at 11pm tomorrow, 30th November.. when the Last Chance list goes live... which is when you can get these stamps and dies at 50% off... wow... 

Though... as much as we love our half pricers... do be sure to see the full list of all the retiring seasonal items and check out the other discounted items too... only available while stocks last...

Trial…

Well..  I’m stuck in traffic  so thought I’d try a blog post just using a mobile phone and see what I can do....

Firstly…  check out the amazing deals on the ‘Last Chance List’ come Tuesday 11pm…. 

Secondly …a quick creative share… a little something we were making in the last week.. which proved so very popular…

Amazingly I have been able to do more than I thought just using my mobile phone… a tech improvement for once!! As it is years since I have tried to do a blog post using just an iPad or iPhone
