Heart Shaped Wildflower Birthday & Last 4 hours of Sale A Bration...

Just very quickly sharing another of my Wildflower Birthday cards (whilst you can still earn the SAB stamp set I used, Heart Shaped for free! Apologies for those of you that see this tomorrow...)

As there are now now only 3 hours left of this year's Sale A Bration promotion... and I have just realised I have used another free Sale A Bration product in one of my Wildflower Birthday suite of cards...

This is a Double Half Hexagon Card... of which we made a few heart versions of as you can see... as my ladies loved this heart bundle so so much...

More on the card fold another day as I have a few more versions of this lovely card fold... as I have been very busy creating some special cards  - now about 9 so far - and want to pull together a special Craft Spa Card Kit with Tutorials (subject to enough interest!) using the Wildflower Birthday papers.... 

So please do not hesitate to contact me if you would be interested in more details on such a Kit... or even just a Tutorial package if you are not based in the UK (or already have the papers!)...

This is a Gatefold Accordion Card - but more of that another day... as I have been very busy creating some special cards  - about 8 so far - and want to pull together a special Craft Spa Card Kit with Tutorials (subject to enough interest!) using the Wildflower Birthday papers....

Season of Green & Gold Multi Panel Pop Up Card

A more special card using the Season of Green and Gold beautiful foiled papers... and the  Greetings of the Season set  ... a multi panel pop up card... aka a Five Panel Pop Up Card...

I altered to suit A6 card dimensions.... but the card was based on another of Sam at Mixed Up Crafts' clever designs... 

Season of Green & Gold papers....

Love these Season of Green and Gold beautiful foiled papers... so quite a few different designs made... starting with this set of 5... 4 cards and a Book Treat Box for the christmas table...

I do have lots more photos of these cards to share... however technology is not on my side today... the watermarks being larger than the cards!!! So (somewhat annoyingly) I will have to come back to them another day....

Wednesday WOW - Paper Blooms Double Fan Fold Card

OMG... I have been wanting to make one of these Double Fan Fold cards for ages... ever since I first saw one on Sam's Mixed Up Craft blog back in August 2020... and many a-one seen since... and I am definitely not disappointed... Thank you Sam...

So this is my first Double Fan Fold card... and I followed Sam's tutorial to the letter... as it creates a nice big card... And I can have to admit... that I absolutely LOVE this card... 

Flowers all fussy cut from the Paper Blooms papers.... shiny Rococo Rose foil from the Love You always Foil Sheet pack...

And check out the 2 butterflies... one stamped and die cut to the top left... and the other fussy die cut to the bottom right...  A sneak peek of a new product suite coming 2nd March... Butterfly Bouquet... more details coming Sunday...

The perfect set of products for you butterfly fanciers... simply gorgeous... may just be the nicest butterflies I have ever had!!

Stampin Up! Products Used

Paper Blooms papers (free with Sale a Bration promotion...but only till Sun 28 Feb)

Love You Always Foil Sheets 

Happiest of Birthdays stamps

Stitched So Sweetly dies

Butterfly Brilliance bundle

And a couple of simple tips for you... 

(1) Don't be too scared to cut your stamps... makes for much more versatility... as I can use Happy Birthday on its own now... on top of each other (as here)  or side by side to form the long sentiment when I want that... And I can still use ... as designed for... when I need that sentiment too...

(2) Gut your foil... I cut in at 1cm (approx 3/8") from each side... 

So now I have a panel I can use for something else another day...

It gets covered by the paper panel in any case...
