Simple for Saturday & Loyal Leaves round up....

Finishing off the simple Loyal Leaves series... along with greetings from the brilliant Ornate Thanks set... 

Showcasing the larger leaf that needs more space!  So a standard A6 card instead of the usual little squares... that's better than the diagonal leaf for the little square card series... see bottom centre in the group shot...

And here is the 7 card round up pic... Click here and here for more details on the 2 other trios...

And oh! I have just remembered... Whilst I was "working hard using my friend's Loyal Leaves set..."... I happened to stamp a whole sheet of A4 too... so I hope that I get a few minutes to work on my own One Sheet Wonder (aka OSW)... whilst still working hard producing christmas cards too!

Merry Monday - Feels Like Frost Scrap Card

Yes this is a card made from some of my Feels Like Frost paper scraps...

But more on that later this week!

Though hopefully tomorrow...

With a Tuesday Tutorial for 2 great cards... as I do love it when lots of cuts creates 2 cards!

In the meantime... card dressed using the Frosted Frames dies (Silver Foil leaves, Seaside Spray & White snowflakes & seedhead)... and a Frosted Foliage sentiment stamped in the new Delicata Silver ink... 

Tuesday Tropical Chic Card set...

Just realised I never posted the last of my Tropical Chic cards and/or the Round up picture... so here you go... a little & bright summery rest from Christmas makes for a day...

Live in the U.K.? Want to buy the Tropical Chic bundle (in clear mount or wood mount) and a co-ordinating Tropical Escape paper pack... then howsabout I post you a prepped card kit for 10 cards (2 sets of these 5 cards) as a thank you gift... Just click here to order... and/or click here to email me for more information...

So first up is the last of my simple little cards... and I think this was the simplest... as just a die-cut square aperture in a small square card blank (10.5cm square aka US Letter 4 1/4") using a Stitched Shapes square die... with a Lemon Lime Twist Tropical leaf die-cut card panel popped behind...

And here are the other 4 cards... Just click on the photo to go straight to the relevant post... most of which include the Tutorial...

And for those of you wondering where the other Tropical Chic makes are... well they just didn't fit in with the co-ordinating 5 card set concept... but here you go...

The most popular of them all Super CAS Leaf Aperture on Foil card....

The Chocolate Bar Treat holder (with linked Tutorial)

Think this post now covers them all...

Simple for Sunday - Rooted in Nature Gatefold Card

 

Love this large and bold greeting in the Rooted in Nature stamp set... not only does it say what we need to say... but it is big and bold enough that everything around it can be left simple...

So an A6 Gatefold Card... Copper embossed greeting... Crumb Cake stamped tree trunk "slice"on the stamped circle... Grapefruit Grove and Soft Suede leaves on the Nature's Poem papers and around the stamped circle... Soft Suede scalloped circle... finished off with doubled Crumb Cake Natures Twine

Circles all care of the Layering Circles dies... where would we be without these! 

This is a card we made at last month's Monthly Training... so thank you Julie... and click here to see a few other variants using other Nature's Poem  paper patterns on Julie's blog... and the inside (as I forgot to open it up and take a photo of the inside!)

Subtle Tropical Thursday...

Another simple but beautiful card.... featuring 3 of our beautiful greens... of which two are new ones... the really Soft Sea Foam and the brighter Granny Apple Green... along with last years's In Color Lemon Lime Twist...

But to see the best bit of this card... you will have to look very closely.... as it is so SUBTLE... just a soft texture all over...

Yes I have used the wonderful Subtle Embossing Folder.. on both the card blank and the stamped panel... and it just steps the card up so much!! Not only visually... but there is an added thickness... aka a more quality feel in that texture too... Though I think most of you may have to trust me on both these scores...

Bohemian Rose Wonder DL Card

OK... A few admittances first... some of you will have noticed a few quirks over the past few days... such as... 2 posts a day... Posts that then disappeared..! Tutorials mentioned but no details... Strange post times...  and sin of sins -  a day without a blog post! I won't bore you with the facts!!! Particularly as some I can't quite work out in any case... just forgive me (and Blogger!!)

And also... a Rose Wonder card that I thought I had posted...but now I come to check... I haven't even taken photos.... and I think it is my favourite!! So photos tomorrow...

So back onto today's creative share....

More Rose Wonder (little Rose & Leaves spray this time) ... More die cut Silver Foil (Rose & Leaves)... the bit of Pear Pizzazz for the leaves fill in ... and 1/8" Silver Ribbon to trim everything off.

Along with Razzleberry ink pad & Blackberry Bliss marker pen.... And Bohemian designer papers pack... 

Gosh... I have been hitting that foil card recently... more to follow on that front!
