Fun Fold Friday - Whimsy & Wonder Double Pop Up Concertina Card

Time for another of these Double Pop Up Concertina House cards... though this one is simpler (and a lot quicker to make) - as the Whimsy & Wonder papers do most of the decorative work.... as well as a bit of Brick & Mortar embossing and use of Perfectly Plaid and Welcoming Window...

But before I start... I hope you got what you wanted from the Last Chance List and the Clearance Rack... as many many items are now discontinued... and not orderable... which explains why you can't see them!

However... there are also many items "stuck in transit" somewhere... or due in next week or later.. and so unfortunately not orderable too... So if there is something you really really want... be sure to email (or use the contact me box down the right hand side of the page) and I can check when more stock is due... so then you know when you may be able to order...

And these Whimsy & Wonder papers fall into this latter category - more stock is due in this week... so hopefully will get booked in today... which I am delighted about as I have rather fallen in love with these stunning papers... such a gorgeous, fresh & contemporary colour combination...

BTW - as I know many of you are wanting them... the Peaceful Place papers are the same ie overdue for this week...

Live in the UK - order the Peaceful Place papers or Peaceful Cabin stamps - and get my Class Tutorial' s for free (Please note that sadly the Cabin dies are now discontinued) Note that a Double Pop Up Concertina card tutorial is included in this Tutorial Package... albeit a different size... though I can easily send these measurements if requested (by email ) at the time of purchase...

Trial…

Well..  I’m stuck in traffic  so thought I’d try a blog post just using a mobile phone and see what I can do....

Firstly…  check out the amazing deals on the ‘Last Chance List’ come Tuesday 11pm…. 

Secondly …a quick creative share… a little something we were making in the last week.. which proved so very popular…

Amazingly I have been able to do more than I thought just using my mobile phone… a tech improvement for once!! As it is years since I have tried to do a blog post using just an iPad or iPhone 

Tuesday Trio of Tags

 

A few quick shares of a few things made for our christmas this year...

A few tags (made with no minutes to spare!) to finish off gifts from my brother that arrived very last minute... perfect! Love these! Might even make a few more of these in readiness for another year... 

My brother lives in Boston, USA... so sadly couldn't be with us this year... which was a first... But we got to spend time and unwrap presents with him virtually... as we didn't want him totally missing out!! Not the same... but much better than not actually seeing each other... God Bless Technology!

Sorry I didn't get to post these before Christmas... but all got a bit mad in December!

A trio of Tree Punch projects....

As I shared the Perfectly Plaid stamps and Tree punch on Sunday... I was reminded of a number of projects I made using the Festival of Trees and that Pine Tree Punch...

But before I start... 2 quick announcements...
(1) The really beautiful Everything is Rosy product bundle is available in the Clearance Rack (with 15% off) while supplies last...

You know the one... pinks, navy blues and a touch of rose gold! Click here to go to see...

(2) The "technical glitch" for ordering the Farmhouse Christmas tutorials yesterday morning is sorted!! So they are now ready to order!! Sorry for any inconvenience...  And thank you for the afternoon orders... all of which have been emailed out already...

Right back to today!

So I thought it may be interesting for some of you if I did a quick re-run and share...

Just click on the photo to go to the original post...

I have found this fascinating... as these have been some of my own personal favourite projects  - and my most visited card tutorial - over the last 4 years or so... and indeed many of these still come out every christmas!

Hope that this post may inspire some of you... Enjoy...

And I do have to laugh... as I have lots of this year's christmas projects sitting ready to share with you... but it just seemed to make more sense to take a bit of time and share some golden oldies this week!
