Fun Fold Friday - Simply Elegant Lock & Pop Card

Had to use my Simply Elegant papers again before they go for good! Along with the Bouquet of Love dies.... and the retired Sweet & Sassy and Large Numbers dies dies (as I needed a larger heart for the numbers)

And it was time to re-size the Lock& Pop card shared here... so this is an A6(ish) version... but more on that another day...

And the view from the back....

Perfect card for our Silver Wedding Anniversary later this year!

Fun Fold Friday - Simply Elegant A6 Pop Out Panel Card with new Tutorial

Still loving the Simple Elegant papers... with an A6 Pop Out Panel Card variant... 

Used along with the stamps from the new Sentimental Rose Card Kit... as the leaf images co-ordinate so well together!

Fantastic set of greeting stamps in this set... plus a flower(s!) and leaves too... 

Such a versatile set of stamps... everyone should have this in their stash... and this Kit is highly recommended for a quick and easy card making session at home... such pretty cards...

And I still can't believe the value of these new Card Kits... stamps, ink, clear block and 9+ cards then kind of for free! Or vice versa!

Greeting frame care of the Stitched So Sweetly dies...

Card Recipe & Tutorial

This is a tweak of the measurements used in this previous version of the card... as I realised that the card could look better and more balanced in a C6 envelope... so it just had to be done! This will now be my go-to A6 size...

A4 Card Basic Grey 21 x 14.8cm. Score LANDSCAPE 5, 7.5, 13.5 & 16cm

Paper (Sides) 4.5 x 14.3cm (x2)

Simply Elegant Pop Out Panel Fold card

Back to the wonderful Simply Elegant papers... with all their shine and elegance... especially when teamed up with the Copper Foil  sheets...

With a simple but fun fold card, a Pop Out Panel card (as per the tutorial shared here)... that some would probably called fancy! 

Made especially for a very special occasion.... as my Stampin' Up! mummy, Julie Kettlewell at The Paperhaven achieved an amazing 500K in Stampin' Up! sales last week... so I couldn't resist sending something shiny to celebrate! Here's to the next half Julie!

Live in the UK? Want to make one (or even a few) of these cards...  then remember that you can order a co-ordinating Simply Elegant Paper Kit if you don't want full packs of everything... as all the paper, card and foil you need is in the Kit... 

Though I do highly recommend adding at least the stamp set with this one... which I have used on the label... 

OR just Click here if you would like the full Simply Elegant Suite... the free extras from me will soon be with you too...

By the way... having now used the papers .. there are Whisper White as well as Very Vanilla backgrounds and features... so I now intend to send both colours in your kit not just Very Vanilla...  unless you prefer otherwise... Oh... and you will get both gold and silver trim (that omission was a typo that I have only just spotted!!) so the above Kit flyer image has been updated accordingly...

Elegantly Said Lock & Pop Card

Returning to my Fancy & Fun Fold Friday posts.... with a Lock & Pop card... as shared by Sam at Mixed Up Craft here... another one I love Sam...

A stunner care of the new Elegantly Said suite.... these foiled Elegantly Said Papers are so stunning... and so elegant! I love them! Along with the Stitched So Sweetly die cut frame...

And I know that these cards will be a real hit when I get back to running classes for a living!

This first one was made especially for my son's birthday... 

Though... I couldn't resist adding one of the gorgeous new gold Bumblebee Trinkets which may puzzle him... 

Though actually it is a great good luck symbol for him at present... as many of the attributed symbolisms of a bee make sense in his life at present... such as focus, persistence, harmony, loyalty and industrious (as in busy as a bee)

And don't forget to order your Simply Elegant Kit soon... as actually... it forms the base of a nice Class in the Mail with the cards I have already made... so a bonus for you!

Elegantly Said & New In Colour Club

Back to the lovely new In Colors... with more details about the colours and The Craft Spa In Colour Club... 

Used today along with the new (coming very soon) stunning Elegantly Said stamps (which are also part of a bundle & a suite too)... All of which go live with the new Annual Catalogue tomorrow, 4th May...

And using all 5 In Colors on my card this time... which is something I never usually do... as they are intended to be on trend colours which freshen and update the overall colour range... rather than for using together...

But for once... I think all 5 can work together... as long as you get the proportions  right...

So to the 5 new on trend colours for 2021-2023.... Click here for a short fun video if you like to guess away at colour names...  And apologies if this video doesn't show for you till tomorrow when the new catalogue is live...

OR just see my "one image shows all" below!

Loving all these colours... though no surprises in guessing that my favourite is... yup... Soft Succulent... but which is yours?

Now as I know you are going to want all of them this time round! I'd love you to join my 5 month In Colour Club... Just £25 per month delivered per month (£23 collected). Giving you a co-ordinated pack of one of the colours every month ... so you have it all by the end of the 5 months...
