So in Tranquil Tide... You're the Best...

In Fresh Fig... From My Kitchen to Yours...

In Berry Burst... Thank You for caring...

A more floral Happy Birthday label...in Lemon Lime Twist... (Though I have to admit this doesn't do it for me!!! Really does need more Berry Burst than Powder Pink...)

And finally remaining as the original Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamped label... in Powder Pink...

2017-19 In Colors introduction!!

Oh how rude of me... I haven't formally introduced you all to the new In Colors!! Which I have been using for a few weeks so they may not seem so new after all!!

But seems like a good time for a quick colour show and tell using some ever-so-cute and simple Fresh Florals , Pretty Label & Happy Birthday Gorgeous A7 cards we made in Julie's training a couple of months ago! These cards may be small and super simple but they have caught the eye of everyone that has seen my display...

Plus a round up of projects posted over the last week or so- just click on the project photo to go to those as they all have tutorials too...

First up...Tranquil Tide.... I do have to admit to loving all these new in colors... I think they are the best collection we have ever had... but this is my overall favourite new colour...

Oops - 2 other Tranquil Tide projects made but not posted yet... and I am really not in a tutorial writing zone today! So guess what is coming next week!! 

Secondly... the bright and exciting Lemon Lime Twist... try feeling sad after you use this colour... impossible!!

Thirdly... the colour I have actually used the most... Berry Burst... a really deep pink... but lovely and bright... and my favourite pink of all the pinks... 

Fourthly , the deep and fruity Fresh Fig... 

And last ...but not least... Powder Pink... my perfect pale pink... between the more vintage Blushing Bride and the lighter but brighter Pink Pirouette...

And here they are all together again... such cute cards. Click here for a quick A7 card tutorial if you need one...

Fresh Florals & Phrases Double Z Joy Fold Card

Quick share of another A6 Double Z Joy Fold card today... as well... have to admit this week is one of those weeks! Particularly with son and heir having just finished his A levels... Lots of things not been to my plan... but hey... it is his time to have a great week celebrating!

So moving onto the Powder Pink papers in the Fresh Florals papers that co-ordinate with our new lovely In Colors... and using the also co-ordinating Floral Phrases  stamp set...

Simply decorated card... with the ease of the final dressing using the Itty Bitty Bow and the Black Mini Sequin trim to the bottom left... I would highly recommend both of these!

And here is a link to the Tutorial for this actual card.... though the eagle eyed may spot that I actually made a mistake... as it was supposed to be the fully opening version for which the tutorial was shared here... I recommend the latter.... 

And for my US readers... never fear... the US card version tutorials are coming very very soon... I can only blame my son's somewhat unexpected daily celebrations (and resultant mum taxi service!! Disadvantage of living in the countryside!)

Floral Statements Duo

A simple but lovely little duo for you today...

So the new Floral Statements set has just the 2 big stamps... HELLO and THANKS... intertwined with flowers... and they do simply do what the name says... make a statement with flowers...

First up.... THANKS... and the cabbage rose....

Stamped in Archival Black to get it as black as can be... then coloured in with Berry Burst and Pear Pizzazz markers... simples...

Then moving onto HELLO... and the old fashioned rose... or christmas rose... (or for me generally... Mock Orange or Philadelphus as my garden is full of its lovely smell at the moment) or actually... it is amazing how many plants it could be!!

Again stamped with Black Archival ink... and coloured in with Pear Pizzazz and Powder Pink marker pens... then the Aqua-painter pulled out to colour in the flower centres and shadows with Berry Burst... 

Finding the shadow areas is easy... as the artist has cross-hatched it all for us!! In fact this stamp set is really simple, quick and easy to say the words when we need to... highly recommended if you like your flowers....

And look... "wonky matting"... maybe a first on here.... but there was actually a good reason!!! I had stamped the image at an angle... so instead of getting a new white panel & stamping again... I thought what the heck... stick the word on straight but the mat at an angle... and it looks alright... and different for a change.... but I am going to giggle at all the "wonky matters/stampers!" in the future...
