It was Free Shipping for 24 hours only yesterday... but it turned out to be another day of worldwide internet issues!

Simple fun fold card... but oh so very effective... 

And we liked these cards so much in classes that there will probably be more coming at a later date!

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!

More Christmas Classics Shining Brightly...

A more stand out card for you today... a Double Pop Out Side Step card...

For someone special... 

Let me know what you think... 

Happy ( More Perfectly Pencilled W Folds) Easter!

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...

Fancy Fold Friday - Dainty Flowers Double W Fold Card

This is going to be a year of special cards for special birthdays... so here is the first of many a fun and fancy fold card...

Which I call the Double W Fold Card... which is based upon a card (that was incredibly popular) that I made many years ago HERE... (so I could call it a Double Pop Out Strip Card but I think Double W Fold is less of a mouthful!)

Back to this card another day... as whilst we were there we made a few!!

This version was sized around the Dainty Flowers paper pack cut out panel on the front of the card.... 

These papers have proven extremely popular... as they are gorgeous... and a pack can be yours for free with every £45 ordered during Sale A Bration... but remember not quite 2 weeks left for the Sale A Bration promotion now... ends 28 February... 

And bear in mind that there is the Dainty Delight bundle to match! So you can buy the bundle and get the co-ordinating papers for free... Simples!

Fun Fold Friday... Sun Prints Pop Up Concertina Fold Card

Wow! Its been a while since I last posted... so a confession! 

As well as a quick Pop Up Concertina Fold card share for you... the simplest version you will ever see!

 

Oh and if anyone fancy a Sun Prints Kit??? UK only... Or a Tutorial bundle if elsewhere... Same offer as the Awash with Beauty kit shared here... though you will also need the Nature's Prints stamp set/bundle for these cards...

Just contact me by clicking here to email me OR by using the contact form down the right hand side of the blog... next order going in 31st August... 

And so my confession! Think I need to give myself a bit of a blog-oliday... 

A seriously under-performing PC (so so slow!! need a new one!), a sporadic printer service (need a new one!)... along with a few key Blogger and Stampin' Up! website changes over the past few years (so so more time consuming!) has made the process of blogging excruciatingly slower than before... so I just don't find that spare hour (or so) everyday anymore... or even a few times a week...

Oh and back-ache (again!) as soon as I spend time on the PC! Though I may have just sussed something with regards to this!! Fingers very crossed...

But...  even though I produce less projects (as I run far less classes nowadays)  I actually have quite a lot of projects made and ready to share... so I may still pop on from time to time with a quick and simple post... and I am in the throes of making a lot more for a session next week... 

And then I'm onto Christmas!! And (for those who have been here with me for a few years!)... you know how much I enjoy making those and that I normally make rather a lot!!

More on Monday - Awash with Beauty #2

 

Second card in my Awash With Beauty series... 

A  Pop Out Centre Panel card fold this time... for which more details are coming soon...

Kept very simple on the reverse... just somewhere to pop a greeting and a message...

Definitely stunning papers that make life very easy to make something beautiful... so don't hesitate to contact me if you might be interested in a co-ordinating paper & card kit... or more of the suite for that matter!

Fun Fold Friday - Awash with Beauty Pop Up Concertina Fold Card

Such a pretty floral suite and papers... introducing the gorgeous Awash with Beauty suite...

Thought I'd just quickly pop on and share a card... another pop up concertina fold card... as trying to find the time for a longer post with all the details is proving much more difficult at the moment... 

Combination of PC/technical issues... and a few more parties and meet ups as we all try to live more normally!! 

And oh... a very hot heatwave phase here this week! Have to admit... I just hid!! Though at least I did sort a couple of technical issues as I did!

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!!
