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...

Two for Tuesday - Paper Blooms

Carrying on with the other half of the Paper Blooms & Heal Your Heart Angled Corner Layer cards quartet as first shared here... where you can see the tutorial link and the product information...

And here is the other side of the paper sheet... Rococo Rose stripes...

Remember that you can get both Paper Blooms & Heal Your Heart for free during the Sale A Bration promotion  - one for every £45 ordered  - but beware this promotion finishes in just under a weeks time - this Sunday 28 Feb... so time is of the essence...

And here are all 4 together...

Paper Blooms Angled Corner Layer Cards duo...

I was inspired by the nifty use of one 6"x6" piece of paper by Rachel Tessman at Stamp Your Art Out. blog to make four of these Angled Corner Cards...

Really quick and easy method with papers... but making a stunning feature... and 4 cards made in a flash! Definitely a method for "pinning" and to use when bulk making...

Sharing just the 2 today... as I tried out a few things as I went along... come back Tuesday for the other Paper Blooms pair... and (hopefully) a few extra tips...

Floral and leaf elements fussy cut from the Paper Blooms papers... which I just love...  

Along with a sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamps... of which the sentiments are just amazing for today's times... 

I particularly like the "can't... fix your problems... but you won't face them alone"... (2nd one down)... I can send a lot with that sentiment out nowadays.. and hopefully brighten someone else's day slightly in the doing so...

Remember that you can get both of these for free during the Sale A Bration promotion  - one for every £45 ordered  - but beware this promotion finishes in just over a weeks time - 28 Feb...

Need more flowers... just check out the co-ordinating All Blooms bundle featured earlier this week... along with those fantastic pierced blooms....

Apart from using different cut out flowers and sentiments... there's only two slight difference between these 2 cards...

Just the Night of Navy mat... and a white embossed sentiment down the right hand slope on this one... and note that the large daisy-type flower is just a partial one (cut from the edge of the paper) which was popped under the bottom slope and covered by more flowers...

And a Night of Navy stamped sentiment on an extra Seaside Spray mat on this one...

Wednesday Wideo - In Bloom bundle

Showcasing the lovely In Bloom bundle for you today... and sharing something you may have not spotted! 

Starting with a video that comes with a public health warning!! 

Stampin' Up! have tried out out fast motion editing for this one... and it is... cough... fast! So you can't actually see the bundle being presented at the beginning... but the featured projects are rather nice... and you are shown how to make them... so some of you may like the need for speed! Once you have got past the first few screens....

So we have the In Bloom stamps...

And the co-ordinating Pierced Blooms dies... love love love all these stitched flowers and leaves! Which I have to admit that I hadn't spotted at all... as I saw the second image below  - not the first - but did you?

And as a Brucey bonus.... this bundle also co-ordinates with the gorgeous Paper Blooms papers... which can be yours for free with the bundle purchase... as you get a freebie for every £45 ordered during Sale A Bration...

And spot that "spotty" piece of paper ( bottom, 2nd from right),... so perfect for die-cutting flowers and leaves from...

But don't delay if you want the papers too... as Sale A Bration only runs for 2 months this time.... ending 28 February...which is less than 2 weeks away...

The World outside Welcoming Window #10

Had to have a Welcoming Window view out onto the world outside... with leaves and flowers at the window... as well as the arrangements in indoor pots on the window shelf...

Complete with wallpaper care of the lovely Sale A Bration Paper Blooms papers... though anyone that knows me will know that I would prefer the white on blue flowery papers!!! But I fancied a change to the colour combination...

Beautiful script Thank You greeting from the free and exclusive Sale A Bration promotional Heal Your Heart stamp set

Don't forget that you can make these "with me" too... whether its a class in the mail (UK only) or the Tutorials in pdf format... click here for more information...
