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...

Simplefor Sunday - New Horizons In The Moment

New Horizons meets In The Moment meets Welcoming Windows (retiring)... 

Love this simple restful little scene... 

And what a fabulous way to use your scrap strips from other cards...

Note that I have actually used it "upside down"... on purpose...

Sorry for being so brief... but technology is not on my side... I think my PC is now groaning at me from overwork over the years!!

Fun Fold Friday - Whimsy & Wonder Double Pop Up Concertina Card

Time for another of these Double Pop Up Concertina House cards... though this one is simpler (and a lot quicker to make) - as the Whimsy & Wonder papers do most of the decorative work.... as well as a bit of Brick & Mortar embossing and use of Perfectly Plaid and Welcoming Window...

But before I start... I hope you got what you wanted from the Last Chance List and the Clearance Rack... as many many items are now discontinued... and not orderable... which explains why you can't see them!

However... there are also many items "stuck in transit" somewhere... or due in next week or later.. and so unfortunately not orderable too... So if there is something you really really want... be sure to email (or use the contact me box down the right hand side of the page) and I can check when more stock is due... so then you know when you may be able to order...

And these Whimsy & Wonder papers fall into this latter category - more stock is due in this week... so hopefully will get booked in today... which I am delighted about as I have rather fallen in love with these stunning papers... such a gorgeous, fresh & contemporary colour combination...

BTW - as I know many of you are wanting them... the Peaceful Place papers are the same ie overdue for this week...

Live in the UK - order the Peaceful Place papers or Peaceful Cabin stamps - and get my Class Tutorial' s for free (Please note that sadly the Cabin dies are now discontinued) Note that a Double Pop Up Concertina card tutorial is included in this Tutorial Package... albeit a different size... though I can easily send these measurements if requested (by email ) at the time of purchase...

Trial…

Well..  I’m stuck in traffic  so thought I’d try a blog post just using a mobile phone and see what I can do....

Firstly…  check out the amazing deals on the ‘Last Chance List’ come Tuesday 11pm…. 

Secondly …a quick creative share… a little something we were making in the last week.. which proved so very popular…

Amazingly I have been able to do more than I thought just using my mobile phone… a tech improvement for once!! As it is years since I have tried to do a blog post using just an iPad or iPhone 

Tuesday Trio - Geraniums....

So as I was kitting out the Welcoming Window Class in the Mail... I thought I should add a simple but fun fold card to the pack... just to say Thank You...

But time was of the essence... so a simple easel card with geraniums fit the bill... and so making a nice little trio of geranium cards for you...

Love how the planter makes the perfect "stop" and greeting label for the card... with those flowers strategically placed below the window...

Bricks stamped repeatedly in Sahara Sand using the brick stamp in the set... and then Sahara Sand ink brush blended (or sponged) over the top...

Missed out on the first round of the Welcoming Window Class in the Mail kit... 

Well never fear... second round requested and now on for the product bundle with the 10 card free class kit in the UK ... Close date 23rd March... though actually the card kits can be with you within 5 days (on a first come first served basis... as I prepped a few more as I was doing the first round)

Live elsewhere or already have your own Welcoming Windows.... you can just buy all the tutorials for not 8... not even 10.. or 14... but actually 15 cards... in a whopping 19 pages of step by step photo tutorials in PDF format...

PS this Simple Easel card is not included in the Tutorials... But just score a LANDSCAPE 21 x 10.5cm piece of card at 5.25 and 10.5cm (or for US Letter.. trim & score a LANDSCAPE 8 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of card at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4") and mountain bone fold both score lines

Terracotta Pots and Geraniums...

 

I just found another Welcoming Window card that I missed at the time.... check out the simple stamping of greenery for the small pot on the left hand side...

Again another card that takes me back to many a holiday in sunny France... with geraniums in terracotta pots around barns....

Though I had a play with the colours used for the terracotta pots... and decided I like Calypso Coral (large pot) and Terracotta Tile (small pot) the best...

But I also tried Cajun Craze and Cinnamon Cider...
