3D Thursday Easter Baskets... AKA Painted Poppies # 8

Before I put the Painted Poppies away.... I couldn't resist a re-make of these 2 favourite Easter projects for the display...

But now I have been asked to include the Large one in some of next month's classes... happy to oblige for those that didn't create one before! Or would like another one....

Too many miles away from me to visit... then click here for the tutorial for the Small Basket... or here for the Large Basket... The main difference being that we now have the fantastic Basket Weave embossing folder for the even more realistic finish!

Merry Monday - Still Scenes with Video...

So I know that many of my "crafty girls" are going to be so happy creating with this set... as the snow globes we made last year went down SO well!! So I have a new cunning plan for this year now... heavily featuring this little gem...

Click here for the Still Scenes product video... but I have to share all this with you!! Can you hear the excitement in my voice!

The whole Still Scenes bundle (with the 10% off)

The Still Scenes stamps

The Snow Globe Scenes dies

And not forgetting the Snow Globe Shaker Domes... I can foresee many uses for these!! Watch this space...

Yup! Loving it!

Magnolia Lane Pop Up Front Step Panel Card

What do you get when you combine the Nested Labels with the A6ish Portrait Pop Up Front Step Panel card...

Yup! A new variant for you!

In a few different Magnolia Lane paper-ways... as I had 6 to make... 4 being the same... and then a couple of others...

Back with the specifics another day...

But in the meantime... I just had to share these Nested Labels featuring Magnolia Lane & Magnolia Blooms version with you...

Wednesday Wideo - Above Clouds

Another very popular new product in the Stampin' Up! range... Above Clouds 

And could also be a vase - or a perfume bottle... or even a punch bag if you need that theme for a man's card... 

And spot the basket and triangle punched parts in the Hot Air Balloon Punch too... I am thinking small plant pot and teeny tiny banners (with or without the stamp set!) or triangular confetti...

With a theme that always lifts one's soul... and a great theme for men's, kids and travel related projects... as well as inspirational words...

And especially for a scrapbook page if (like me) you have had the excitement of a hot air balloon flight... or been to a Balloon Festival...

So bringing you Above Clouds....

Click on the arrow below for the video and project ideas... including how to set up your stamps to easily stamp & punch the 3 parts of the balloon at once...

And as a Bonus Tip for you today... Like the circular greeting around the balloon ona stitched circle..? 

Easy enough to do... just shape/bend your long thin stamp (eg Hi Friend in this case) as you place onto your clear block... using a die cut circle to aid your eye for the shape... 

Then ink up and stamp... and then repeat as many times as you need...

Though you may wish to do a dry run first if using a different greeting... so as to work out how to best place - and how many times to stamp -  to go round the whole circle...

Saturday So Long... Farewell... Auf Wiedersehen... Goodbye!

Last chance to buy... and definitely a keeper for me... and many A N Other Demo! Large Letters dies... going going very soon! 

Already on Low Inventory... only available while supplies last... and definitely not available after 3rd June... 

Oh no!! Life will just not be the same for these special Concertina Cards!!

And if I could count the amount of times I am told " I wish I got those when you pointed them out to be going!!" wrt Large Numbers... Please don't make the same mistake with these fabulous and huge Large Letters...

Yes they are a considered purchase... but you won't look back with any regret...

So thought I would just share a few of the makes over the years... 

Though I reckon I could keep you here another hour (and me another 6 hours!) if I posted everything!

So I will keep it relatively brief... click on the project picture to go to the post... many with tutorials...

Double Pop Out Swing Card tutorial actually here... 

WoW ! Was this seriously 3 years ago!! And these were my first makes with these dies... Double Z Fold card Tutorial actually here... 

Yup!! I will definitely be keeping these dies! They really do make things SO special... 

And here are even  more made by friends... 

What are we going to do without these dies for the Eclipse Technique!?

Wednesday Triangle Corner Card WOW! And please don't miss out...

Had to create one of these Triangle Corner Pop Up Easel cards that are doing the rounds... following Karen Varley's tutorial at Donemark Papercrafts that can be found here... Thanks so much Karen...

Clever card format... though being honest I don't think most people would get it out of the envelope and know how to fold it up!

But a stunning card for those near and dear to you (ie where you can do the folding and pop it up on the mantelpiece! After first having had a bit of a laugh at what they may try to do with it!!!)

And it also bigger than I expected it to be... so definitely has presence!

Using How Sweet It is papers so light and bright for A Level and GCSE exam successes that are likely to be celebrated later this year!

And yes look... it is Birthday Cheer yet again for the  main greeting! Can't tell you how much use this stamp set is getting around here! Such a shame that it will come to an end come 3rd June... Also used En Route for the other greetings...

It does fold to go in an envelope... I personally would fold like this and pop in a DL sized envelope.... as I think it would be a bit bulky... and even harder to work out!! if you folded any other way!

Speaking of 3rd June... remember that all ( well lots of!) good things must come to an end... click on the graphic(s) for more information on these products expiring very soon... or click on the product title to go straight to it in the Online Store...
