Half Full & Stampin Blends...

Very quick share today...

Remake of this card but using the new Stampin Blends alcohol based blending marker pens... now that is more like it!

Green bottle top because I just wanted to use 3 Stampin Blends colours destined for christmas makes... Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Pool Party... and not because I wanted to spend the day singing "10 green bottles standing on a wall"... mmm! Sorry to those of you now singing away...!!!

Half Full Thank You

Another card made with the Half Full stamp set... proving it's all year round appeal and value....

These are actually some of the Thank You cards I sent out for some of my early September orders... as I was on a bit of a role with this card format...

More details about this card shared here with the Christmas version.... just the colours being different... with Sahara Sand for the wine in the glass... and Dapper Denim for the bottle cap, mat and greeting...

Although the eagle eyed amongst you may spot that I used Tranquil Tide for some of the mats! Both work...

Half Full for Christmas....

Back to the Half Full set... and a different christmas version.... with a few of my favourite colours!

A three layer card this time... set on a small square Sahara Sand card blank... (10.5cm square for A4 card -with 10cm Tranquil Tide mat & 9.5cm Glossy White Card stamped panel...or 4 1/4" Square if using US Letter -with 4" Tranquil Tide mat and 3 3/4" Glossy White stamped panel)

With a Pool Party sponged aperture...  sponged Crumb Cake bottle label... aquapainted Tranquil Tide bottle... Cherry Cobbler red wine & foil bottle top... with the glass lightly water coloured in Soft Sky ... and all over Wink of Stella ... and a stamped and hand cut sprig of holly to finish...

Join me at the Tuscan Vineyard...

Let me take you to Tuscany in Italy today... in 5 different ways!

Grab a new Very Vanilla Note Card & Envelope ... overstamp with Postscript in Sahara Sand...

Die cut an aperture with the Layering Ovals... and then play around with the images in Tuscan Vineyard... as much or as little as you would like... depending on how much time you have and how much you like to fussy cut!

Start off super simple... just a greeting (I used Lemon Zest here as it happened to be out!) and the Soft Suede stamped & oval die cut scene through the aperture...

Add a Soft Suede stamped on Crumb Cake basket and bottle...

Add an Early Espresso stamped on Old Olive olive oil bottle...

 Add some Soft Suede on Very Vanilla corks in a row...

And then fussy cut your Old Olive on Very Vanilla olive branch heart out! (I used three here)

Finished off with a Soft Suede stamped, Sahara Sand sponged and Berry Burst/Old Olive coloured wine label...

An idyllic little scene... that immediately makes you want to holiday in sunny Tuscany.... amongst the olive groves and grape vines... Cheers!

In the UK? Wish to order your own Tuscan Vineyard? Just click here to order... available in both clear mount and wood mount... and don't forget Postscript and your Layering Ovals dies too... I will send you some notecards to use...

Cheers To You! Mixed Drinks Part 2

May your wine be plentiful!

Simple DL card (approx 4 1/8" x 8 1/8" for my US readers!) with a few Cherry Cobbler & Gold Wink of Stella (now out of stock & retired) stamped and filled Mixed Drinks wine glasses to cheer you up! 

Glasses all nice and shiny care of Clear Wink of Stella...

To YOU! wording care of Labeler Alphabet

And yes all glasses hand cut and 3D'd for a pop... Though all the glasses appearing "behind" could have been stamped direct... I just find it easier when faced with a blank card to move my pre-cut 3D images around to work out where I need to stick them!! And I do so like fussy cutting in an evening... 

Need I say more... Cheers!
