Miss You Monday!?

And there's more... I had a few people reach out yesterday and thank me for the round up posts over the past couple of days... as it had prompted them to buy something they did not realise was going!!  And/Or to see a really cool card fold with a tutorial they wanted to try out for themselves!

So seeing as this is the very last day you can buy retiring items from the catalogue... I have decided to keep with the theme... these products now only available for 16 hours... 

The ordering systems are turned off tonight at 10.50pm UK time... and will be back up at 8am tomorrow with the new 2019-2020 Catalogue products ... 

So we've already had projects using the reduced Hanging Garden (Greenhouse card) ... Half Full (Wine for all Seasons!) ...  and Vertical Greetings (Topiary notecards)... 

Baby Bear.... gosh! Oh what fun we had!!!

Balloon Celebrations...

Then  Mediterranean Moments retiring...though Beautiful You pictured not retiring...

Artistically Asian... 

Foxy Friends is off...

Sheltering Tree... forgotten how much I used this one... 

Tuscan Vineyard... 

Bella & Friends... oops all gone! But I had to share this card as it still so cute!

And also remember ... that this is the VERY Last Chance to buy those 2018-2019 and Spring Summer bundles with the 10% off... though these all carryover to the new catalogue tomorrow... but without that discount....

WoW! What a(nother) trip down Memory Lane...

Paper Pumpkin The Shelli Card KIT... Such good value... Available only while supplies last... £20 for 12 cards including stamps & ink spot! 

Half Full & Stampin Blends...

Very quick share today...

Remake of this card but using the new Stampin Blends alcohol based blending marker pens... now that is more like it!

Green bottle top because I just wanted to use 3 Stampin Blends colours destined for christmas makes... Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Pool Party... and not because I wanted to spend the day singing "10 green bottles standing on a wall"... mmm! Sorry to those of you now singing away...!!!

Half Full Thank You

Another card made with the Half Full stamp set... proving it's all year round appeal and value....

These are actually some of the Thank You cards I sent out for some of my early September orders... as I was on a bit of a role with this card format...

More details about this card shared here with the Christmas version.... just the colours being different... with Sahara Sand for the wine in the glass... and Dapper Denim for the bottle cap, mat and greeting...

Although the eagle eyed amongst you may spot that I used Tranquil Tide for some of the mats! Both work...

Half Full for Christmas....

Back to the Half Full set... and a different christmas version.... with a few of my favourite colours!

A three layer card this time... set on a small square Sahara Sand card blank... (10.5cm square for A4 card -with 10cm Tranquil Tide mat & 9.5cm Glossy White Card stamped panel...or 4 1/4" Square if using US Letter -with 4" Tranquil Tide mat and 3 3/4" Glossy White stamped panel)

With a Pool Party sponged aperture...  sponged Crumb Cake bottle label... aquapainted Tranquil Tide bottle... Cherry Cobbler red wine & foil bottle top... with the glass lightly water coloured in Soft Sky ... and all over Wink of Stella ... and a stamped and hand cut sprig of holly to finish...

Like an even simpler card... check out the previous one layer and two layer versions shared earlier by clicking here... 

Jems September Blog Hop - Autumn Colour Challenge - Half Full

Welcome to the Jems Team Blog Hop with a theme of Autumnal Colours... and it was yesterday's Blog Hop that was supposed to be a challenge!!! But again... I have a little card duo for you...

I don't have any specific autumnal stamp sets... and the thought of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler or any of the oranges brings me out in a sweat! But I had a (maybe) inspired colour moment with the stamp set I had out... so here you go...

So it is time to introduce you to another of my favourite new stamp sets from the Autumn Winter Catalogue just released... so here is Half Full... designed by Million $ Sales Achiever demonstrator, Linda Bauwin... thanks Linda! Love it... Available in Wood Mount and Clear Mount...

Now whilst I can't wait to use these to present alcohol related gifts in a beautifully decorative way... I thought a quick clean & simple sponged card would do the job for my very big challenge for today... 

So I sponged through a die cut circular aperture with Crushed Curry and a very very light touch of Cajun Craze to add some texture... then I added some Tuscan Vineyard grapes in Sahara Sand to calm it down a bit and some more visual interest!

A quick Half Full wine bottle and glass (water coloured with Old Olive to represent white wine in an autumnal sort of way... and a Cherry Cobbler seal ) later and there you have it...

Finished off on a small square Old Olive card blank... (10.5cm square for A4 card -with 10cm Whisper White stamped panel...or 4 1/4" Square if using US Letter -with 4" Whisper White stamped panel)

But whilst I was at it I couldn't resist repeating in something more christmassy... so here you have a second small square one layer card... with a Pool Party sponged aperture... Colorful Seasons Pool Party stamped snowflakes... Sahara Sand white wine... Cherry Cobbler red wine... with the glass lightly water coloured in Soft Sky (which unfortunately I forgot to do on my autumnal sample before taking the photos!)... and a sprig of holly to finish...

Just had to do this so I could share this great sentiment pair... now you can see the red wine!!

And now it is time to pass you onto the lovely Karen... who I have to thank for 2 things... firstly for stepping in and organising us for this month's Blog Hop... and secondly for the hardest Color Challenge I have ever had!! LOL...

Just press on the arrow to move on...
