Tuesday Trio - New Horizons In The Moment #3

Third and last in my In the Moment, New Horizons & Welcoming Windows series... plus the round up shot...

Note that Welcoming Windows is retiring soon.... but is still available when I just checked... Oh and note that buying the 2 parts separately is cheaper than buying the bundle... Stamps here... Dies here...

Thanks to Tamara Bertram for her inspiration for this card... I love Tamara's more monochromatic card... but had to try out a night scene with shiny stars... 

Girl at a Double Window

Second in my In the Moment, New Horizons & Welcoming Windows series... Note that Welcoming Windows is retiring soon.... but is still available when I just checked... 

Simply die cut 2 windows and stick together... and trim a scrap of New Horizons papers to suit...

Ink up & stamp New Horizons trees and birds on the paper scrap... and then stick behind the window...

Ink up & stamp girl on White and then again on the back of some of the New Horizons papers... colour hair and arms on White with Stampin' Blends... fussy cut the paper hat, blouse and skirt & stick... then fussy cut the whole image... leaving out the wine glass this time...

Oh and apologies... for people that couldn't just click and go to Thursdays post... as I forgot to add a title!! So click here and there you go...two beautiful Blessings of Home cards care of friends...

Tuesday Trio - Sponged For The Guys cards...

Gulp... I blinked... and the week just went!

 So apologies for the radio silence... 

A nice little share for you today using scraps from the For The Guys kit... along with the birds from Sailing Home

 I love it when you can re-purpose something and make something simple... but great...

Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin - Bumper Showcase...

Released today in the UK and Europe... the Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit... designed to simply and quickly say Thinking of You as and when you need to... in lots of different ways should you care to scroll through all this post...

I know that these cards are the ones that people less like to make in classes... so this is a great way to be able to quickly make a beautiful card to send when you need one... 

As everything you need is in the box (except Clear Block D) to make 9 cards (3 each of 3 designs)  

OR to bulk make ahead (if you are more like me... as I prefer to have these cards ready and waiting to pop in the post as and when I need them... )

And the Kit was released in the US back in February... which is great ... because it means I can share some great alternative creations with the kit before I even have one in my hands...  Enjoy!

All made by fellow US demonstrators... just click on their highlighted name underneath their creations to go straight to the relevant blog or You Tube post... And thank you to each and everyone of you for your wonderful creations...

A trio of thoughts from friends #1

Sharing some beautiful cards I received earlier in the year... from fellow friends, team members, customers and demonstrators...  In no particular order... and again thank you all for your thoughts at that time....

Uma Kathirgamanathan's gorgeous Pop Up Front Step Panel Card.... featuring Garden Lane papers and Rooted in Nature stamps... Tutorial for this card here...

Sarah Lavelle's beautiful A6 card featuring Pretty Label punched Label Me Pretty & Flourishing Phrases greeting... with Floral Essence flowers...

 And Caroline Merrick's super Botanical Blooms (retired) A6 card...

PS All is perfectly OK post-op... but I have to "take it easy" and not lift, bend or stretch etc "much" for another week or so... so "grabbing" my crafting supplies is a temptation I need to avoid... so I am taking the opportunity to share some lovely creations made by friends... Normal Service will resume soon... 

PPS At Home classes will continue as planned... I was ready for this month's classes pre-op so nothing to stop those... 

Simple Sympathy for Sunday - Flourishing Phrases

So whilst I was busy creating for the Neutrals Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop post... I needed one of these to go in that days' post... and so here it is...

Even simpler than all those gone before.. just Gray Granite inking with a touch of Night of Navy in the greeting...

And I just happened to have a Colourful Seasons Night of Navy flower stamped cut & ready at the side of me...

Though I could have used a cut-down Flourishing Phrases flower if I hadn't happened to have had that flower sitting there! Click here for more details on the cut-down flower....

Really had forgotten how good the Flourishing Phrases stamp set is... and the Colourful Seasons too!

Card & mats the same as in yesterday's post...

And more on these lines tomorrow... much more!!
