A Host of... Spirited Snowmen

Cast your mind back a few weeks... I made a batch of these... went to Team Training... and came back with some inspirational swaps...

There were definitely 2 major themes amongst the swaps I had in return... and Spirited Snowmen was one of them!!

So I thought it would be lovely today to share the creations of some of my lovely demo friends... starting with the Spirited Snowmen swaps... all four of them...

But before I begin... a quick update on the Farmhouse Christmas Box Frame, Bakers Box Light & Bridge U Fold card tutorials...  They should still be ready by the end of the weekend... but I just had to have a day off yesterday... as I have run back to back classes since Tuesday... so I was meeting myself coming backwards... and then I forgot that the tree surgeons were at ours yesterday... so I really couldn't hear myself think!! So it was a "day off" having retail therapy instead... albeit mainly for projects for classes and food!! But in the meantime... please don't hesitate to order yours here... Just scroll to the end of the post... and Add to Cart...

First up... by Joanne Wragg... and the card that duly inspired this card shared yesterday... As Craig would say in Strictly... "Gorgeous Darling!"... and I have to admit that my ladies have been loving making this card... so a Big Thanks to you Joanne...

Then we have this fabulous notebook by Sam... which lots of my lovely ladies are coveting... so I think I have a plan for these as a part gift for their orders in November... but shh don't tell them...! Also featuring the lovely snowflakes in the Seasonal Layers dies... 

Closely followed by Rebecca Deary's beautiful " what a gorgeous colour combi" card... show-caseing the Buffalo Check and the Swirls & Curls embossing folder too...

And last but... definitely not least... this spectacular card by Joyce Drake... on one of the new Silver Foil Edged cards.. and also using the Bokeh Dots that is my best selling stamp set in the Annual Catalogue!

Didn't they do well!! Proud to have these on my display lovely ladies...

Now I wonder if you can guess which was the other "major theme"... any guesses in comments or by the contact me form please!!

Hang Your Silver Foil Stocking...

Something simple and shiny today ... using a couple of my ladies favourite christmas stamps and dies (both featuring in the Annual Catalogue in case you were wondering)

This is one to quickly get christmas cards made if you haven't quite finished...

Die cut aperture in a small square card (10.5cm/US Letter 4 1/4")... with die cut silver foil filigree stocking popped through and stuck down... both care of Christmas Stockings Thinlits dies... (which has co-ordinating Hang Your Stocking stamps)

Silver embossed greeting care of Christmas Pines and a little silver ribbon bow to finish...

Enormous Box Frame showcasing Sweet Sugarplum... and me & the other half...

Another day... another 2016 On Stage Telford, UK Stampers Showcase project... and cough... I was rather pleased with this one!!! It was a new idea... and it worked!! Second time around....

Although I don't think most people realised that this frame was just made out of cardstock where it lay on the Stampers Showcase table - as it was cheek and jowl with a smaller 9" Ikea Ribba frame.... but for those of you that picked it up... I am sure that you will have realised... as it is somewhat lighter than the Ribba version....

Take 4 pieces of Thick Whisper White card... and make a nearly 12" Square Box Frame... and display whatever your hearts desires...

I didn't originally plan to use this for a scrapbook layout... nor display a photo of Jon and I on our wedding day... but time was of the essence... so other plans were put onto the back burner... yup... that is me a few years back... this may be the first (and last!) time you see a photo of me....!

And no the tutorial is not yet available I am afraid... and it will be a while as the month is somewhat busy!!! ( yes again) Though I am itching to make another variant already!!! 

But in the meantime have a practice run with a Box Frame Card if you haven't already... loads of variants on this blog if you search for Box Frame Card... but go here for the most popular 6" version... 

And spot the new Ruched Ribbon for the new 2016-18 In Colors... think this maybe my favourite ribbon ever! Can't wait till 1st June to buy more....

And a detail for your Rose Wonder die cuts...  double layered leaves...give the spines of a second set of the leaves a squidge (technical term!!!!) and glue over your flat ones...lots of added dimension in a flash...

Talking of dimension..... and many of you will not remotely understand these comments until tomorrow.... Tuesday is for Txxxxx... I know that these few words will make a few of you VERY happy!!!! Dapper Denim again tomorrow if you need another hint.... Yes it is coming!!! Tutorial too...

Stampers Showcase - Sweet Sugarplum Rose Wonder

Moving swiftly onto Sweet Sugarplum... a colour that I know is going to be seriously popular amongst my ladies! 

Another extra large Rose Wonder make... just type in Rose Wonder in the Search box to the top right if you want to see lots more! Including this card in different colourways...

This card had a few variants as I created... long term blog followers will just know it was going to be a Sweet Sugarplum & Silver Foil Rose on a Whisper White base! Unfortunately I forgot to photo for you!

But then I remembered the brief... we had to mainly use the new In Color we were making for the display! So it was quickly popped onto a Sweet Sugarplum base at the last minute....

Neither could I add my Rich Razzleberry Rose! But here you go for another version.... much more dramatic...

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!

Double Watercoloured Rose Red Wonder

Love this card! This is a CASE of a fellow team member's lovely creation that she shared at our last Team Trainings' Show n Tell (as I like to call it!)

So this beauty was originally created by Nic Baker and you can find her original creation here... along with a few other projects she made using the Rose Wonder set... Nic's are a bit more subtle in colours than mine!

Don't know if you can see it in the photo...but I trimmed around the stamped frame outline and mounted the greeting frame onto a die cut silver foli frame...very subtle...but lovely!

And I believe that Nic's card was inspired by this card in the catalogue... in golds and yellows this time...
