Potting Shed Pop Out Gatefold Card

Oh we all really liked this Garden Shed card...

Which was a good job... as it did take a while to get all the bits together!! Though the card is simple enough at the end...

Using the soon retiring Home & Garden bundle (ooh...  buy both the stamps and dies separately at half price off the Last Chance List come 1st June! Just £23.50 for both ... though I don't think they will stay around for long at that price!

And the must have (IMHO) Timber embossing folder... spot the scored planks we scored... no idea why I'd never thought of doing that before... so simple but so realistic...

Wither the retired and no longer available Bloom Where You're Planted papers and Welcoming Windows bundle for the flower & pots

Friday Favourites... My Top Picks...

I have been asked to share my favourite stamps etc... which actually equates to my Top 12 of Suites, Bundles and Stamps... as  I do tend to love the whole bundle or suite if I love the stamp set OR dies OR papers...

So here they are... not in any particular order... as that would have been many more hours of decision time!! And everyone of these are either in my hands... almost here... or soon on their way...

Family Party
This will be the most used set in classes... and therefore at home too... been a while since I have had new family names and numbers to use! Hooray!

Butterfly Wishes
Simply gorgeous! And look what punch it co-ordinates with!

Praiseworthy Prose bundle
With these dies we can name anything!

 And I love the definitions in the stamp set too

Everything Amazing
Almost didn't spot this little gem! So glad I did...

Very Versailles
Ooh la la! Simply beautiful... classically elegant!

Bloom & Grow bundle
You can never have too many flowers... And spot the scallop border dies in this bundle!

Genuine Gems
For those moments when you really don't know what to say!

Garden Shed
This will be a marmite set! Very me (architectural!)... but very not me too (lots of colouring!)

But just look at these stunning samples by the concept artists... not too much colouring here after all!

Sailaway suite
A firm favourite of mine with an enthusiastic sailor in the house, lots of sailing holidays over the years and many a sailing friend...

More information on this suite here...

Magnolia Lane suite
Now this is a BIG suite....

More information on this blog here... and here...

Noble Peacock suite
And this is the suite that has caused the most WOWs amongst my ladies!!

And I guess around the world... as it has shot onto back order status within minutes of launch! So this is one I will tell you to back order whilst you can... as I think it will just go unorderable sometime soon...

 Just stunning Foil Papers and Sheets...

Bird Ballad suite

Wouldn't suit all the bird haters I have had coming to my classes over the years... but I have a particular fondness for this suite... just yum all round!

Look at these stunning Stitched Nested Labels dies... cutting on the inside and outside of "the aperture" at the same time ie producing a frame and aperture at the same time.... which gives you infinite possibilities... and what a lovely shape...

  And just look at these beautiful papers!!

So so pretty...

Oh how exciting! All this new stuff to create with!! Just need to pack 48 hours into every day!

And yes... I will be back with another Favourites round up sometime soon... as there are a lot of smaller faves to tell you about!!

The Potting Shed Bench Fold Card by Louise & Kate

I had another lovely creativity-is-so-worth-sharing and WOW moment last Friday ... as 2 of my lovely class ladies, Louise & Kate messaged me with photos of their creation inspired by the Tool Bench card they had made at our last class a few weeks ago..

When I had first shown them the Tool Bench card.... there was an immediate squeal of delight of "Oh it could be a potting shed" ... and yes absolutely!

So last Thursday night they got together and had a crafty play.... and didn't they do SO well.... here you have a fabulous Potting Shed with some amazing details... may be CASEing a few of those myself girls!

Too many details to point them all out... but check out the wellies... all the pots... trowel to the left ... and the seed packets and gloves on the bench top... too cute!

And just for those that may not know the terminology... a potting shed is a garden shed...or... "a shed which is used for potting plants and in which plants and garden tools and supplies are stored"

Really love it Louise & Kate... and thank you SO much for sharing with me and letting me share to the world on here too... and this is another Bench Fold Card design ticked off my eve growing list!
