Fun Fold Friday... Sun Prints Pop Up Concertina Fold Card

Wow! Its been a while since I last posted... so a confession! 

As well as a quick Pop Up Concertina Fold card share for you... the simplest version you will ever see!

 

Oh and if anyone fancy a Sun Prints Kit??? UK only... Or a Tutorial bundle if elsewhere... Same offer as the Awash with Beauty kit shared here... though you will also need the Nature's Prints stamp set/bundle for these cards...

Just contact me by clicking here to email me OR by using the contact form down the right hand side of the blog... next order going in 31st August... 

And so my confession! Think I need to give myself a bit of a blog-oliday... 

A seriously under-performing PC (so so slow!! need a new one!), a sporadic printer service (need a new one!)... along with a few key Blogger and Stampin' Up! website changes over the past few years (so so more time consuming!) has made the process of blogging excruciatingly slower than before... so I just don't find that spare hour (or so) everyday anymore... or even a few times a week...

Oh and back-ache (again!) as soon as I spend time on the PC! Though I may have just sussed something with regards to this!! Fingers very crossed...

But...  even though I produce less projects (as I run far less classes nowadays)  I actually have quite a lot of projects made and ready to share... so I may still pop on from time to time with a quick and simple post... and I am in the throes of making a lot more for a session next week... 

And then I'm onto Christmas!! And (for those who have been here with me for a few years!)... you know how much I enjoy making those and that I normally make rather a lot!!

More on Monday - Awash with Beauty #2

 

Second card in my Awash With Beauty series... 

A  Pop Out Centre Panel card fold this time... for which more details are coming soon...

Kept very simple on the reverse... just somewhere to pop a greeting and a message...

Definitely stunning papers that make life very easy to make something beautiful... so don't hesitate to contact me if you might be interested in a co-ordinating paper & card kit... or more of the suite for that matter!

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

Fancy Fold Friday - Pressed Petals Pop Up Front Step Panel card

So back to my coloured Floral Centre posted earlier in the week... which had to be made to co-ordinate with the flowers in these papers!

I just couldn't resist making another of these Pop Up Front Step Panel Cards  using my new Pressed Petals papers

and Pressed Petals Washi Tape... with a bit of help from my Leaf Punch... 

Along with the new and simply gorgeous Butterfly Wishes stamp set...

Though unfortunately the tutorial I had planned (and even written!) isn't posted today... as there were far too many words in a step by step as not enough photos!! So it all became a bit confusing...

 So sorry... for another day after all...
