Craft Spa Paper Sets and Classes At Home

I am not running any face to face scheduled classes during January and February… So I have a couple of Class At Home Kits and a Co-ordinating Paper, Card & Embellishment Set planned for January and February …

My next order will be on 9^th January… so please advise any Kits/Sets required by 2pm Sunday 9^th January latest…

Also please order any Grassy Grove bundles direct by 9^th January … as Stampin’ Up P&P direct to you is the same as I would have to charge (due to bundle values)... I will send you the free class kits as relevant (unless you tell me you prefer the more usual crafty products gift)

For January… Grassy Grove Class At Home Kit... Kits and Tutorials will be available by the end of the month...

Then for February… New Horizons Co-ordinating Paper, Card and Embellishments Sets… and Class At Home Kit ... or Free Class Kit with bundle... Kits and Tutorials will be available by the end of February... hopefully earlier!

Though please feel free to get your On The Horizon bundle ( and any more New Horizons paper) orders in straightaway... as I think this suite is going to be the most sought after... and I suggest that you tell me your intentions so I can order more paper come 10th Jan...

Note that the New Horizons papers are not available until w/c 10th Jan...

There may be more as I get into my groove… but here are the starters… Though I think you may see a bit of the Oceanfront stamps and punched clouds too...

True Love Pop Out Panel Card Tutorial

As promised... coming back to the True Love Pop Out Panel card shared last week... 

With another version... and the tutorial for you... as this card fold is so simple but so effective... 

1. Cut a 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of card (19 x 14cm)

2. Score when LANDSCAPE at 1 1/4", 2 1/2"5" & 6 1/4" (3, 6, 13 & 16cm) 

3. Bone Fold Valley, Mountain, Mountain, Valley

4. Cut & adhere papers...
    Sides 1" x 5 1/4" (2.5 x 13.5cm)
    Centre 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" (and white panel for back) (6.5 x 13.5cm)

5. Decorate as desired
I simply stamped using a cut-down stamp from Happiest of Birthdays and die cut a label using the Stitched So Sweetly dies... Then Stampin Blends coloured some fussy cut  flowers from the True Love papers. 

This is actually a very slight tweak on previous Pop Out Panel cards shared on this blog... as the side sections are slightly wider... which in turn means it "stands better aka more robustly"... 

Now can I interest anyone in a True Love Paper Kit... with or without the pinks... or actually ... I could even do a fabulous prepped Class in the Mail... watch this space... but in the meantime do email me if you could be interested... as I would love to be preparing an order for next week.... 

Geraniums on a French Barn...

 

Well that is what this Welcoming Window #9 card one reminds me of... which takes me down a lovely Memory Lane trip... 

I was very lucky as my parents owned a converted barn near Brantome in the beautiful Perigord in France... and this card really reminds me of that house...

Many a happy year of family holidays there... though sadly we all decided to sell it on about 10 years back... as the type of holiday we needed changed... but yes guess what would probably suit us more now! Hey Ho...

So Poppy Parade & Garden Green marker pens used for the geraniums... with Seaside Spray lightly brush blended onto the flower image to soften... 

The Crumb Cake die cut wood parts are all blended with Crumb Cake using the Blending Brushes too... 

Don't forget that you can make these "with me" too... whether its a class in the mail (UK only) or the Tutorials in pdf format... click here for more information...

Love You Always Suite #2 & Kit in the Mail

Getting back to the lovely Love You Always suite... full of products to celebrate any occasion but particularly Valentines & Friends with a few hearts, flowers and lovely words thrown into the mix!

However just the floral papers and foil sheets make this a must have for me... for any occasion... so read on about the co-ordinated UK only Kit I have put together.... And of course any stamps and dies etc can be added as desired... just let me know which you would like adding... 

Though I have now updated the Kits...as I hadn't spotted or included the stunning Speciality papers or the Heart Charms which I think are too good to miss!! So now there is a second upgraded-version of the Kit for you... for you foil lovers! 

See end of this (long) post for further details... but orders and payment by 14^th Jan please. 

So starting with the products in my Kits-at-Home... which "seems like a very good place to start"...  Anyone else singing that song now? Do-Re-Mi...Yes I did watch - and absolutely loved watching - The Sound of Music over the Christmas period... totally took me back to my childhood and listening (and dancing around the lounge) to the whole album most weekends... and desperately trying to yodel!!!!

Sorry I digressed there... 

Back to crafty goodness... and sorry about the 2 parts...this post was pretty much ready to go apart from "saving & adding photos and links" but that part still takes an hour or two... so I had to abort and come back to it Sunday... and so here I am ! 

Just click on the product picture or highlighted name to find all the product information... or see yesterdays post for a quick video showing you all the products in this suite.. 

First up... 12x12 True Love Papers... lovely floral images in black and white so you can colour away and use them in any colourway... including black and white! Half pack in Kits. Click here to see every sheet... 

Then the gorgeous 12x12 Love You Always Foil papers in Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose and Sahara Sand... 1/4 pack in original Kit but double the amount (so full 12x12 sheet) in the upgraded Kit... as if you love your foils... you love your foils... so why settle for a half sheet... right! Click here to see every sheet...

Then the fabulous foiled 12 x 12 Love You Always Speciality Designer Papers... 1/4 pack (3 colours x12x12 sheet of each ) now in my upgraded Kit ! Click here to see every sheet...

Then moving onto embellishments...

Matte Black Dots ( 1/2 pack in Kits)

Heart Charms... again 1/4 pack ( 5) now included in the upgraded Kit... 

Champagne Rhinestones... these aren't 'officially' part of the suite... but they are a perfect match... and so I have included 1/2 pack in my Kits... so thought I should add an image here...

Also in my Kits are A4 card... 2 sheets each Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose, Sahara Sand, Basic Black & the NEW Basic White... 

And Stitched Satin Ribbon... one metre each of Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake and Basic Black... Note that these are retired ribbons... but they are a perfect match so it seemed rude not to use them seeing as I had them! But only available while my stocks last!

And then we have the co-ordinating stamps and dies, packaging and ribbon... all of which can be added to the base Kits....

Forever and Always bundle... combining Forever Always stamps and Always dies... I am gutted now that I didn't pre-order these.. as they are fantastic for all year round use... love the die-cut words and flower images... 

Particularly at this time of year... especially during a lockdown... as we can all do with a bit more love and knowing that people are always thinking of us... Don't know about you but I am on a mission to send more cards and ring more friends up during January... as it is always the "low month" of the year... and this set would have been perfect...

Always in My Heart bundle... combining Always in My Heart stamps and Floral Heart dies... isn't that die cut decorative heart just beautiful...

Then some gift packaging, Love You Always Treat Box... which has proved so popular that it they are in back order already... although still orderable... but it is a good job I didn't include it in my kit after all... 

And finally the Blushing Bride 3/8" Metallic Ribbon...

And in order to round things off... here are lots of projects to showcase these beautiful products... and hopefully inspire you... 

And to finish things off... back to my Kits...

Basic Kit £21 includes ½ pack True Love papers, ¼ pack Foil Sheets, ½ pack Matte Black Dots and Champagne Rhinestones, 10 sheets co-ordinating A4 card in Blushing Bride, Sahara Sand, Rococo Rose, Basic Black & Whisper White plus 3mtr co-ordinating Stitched Satin ribbon in Blushing Bride, Sahara Sand & Basic Black.  Note that the 12x12 True Love papers & Foil Sheets will arrive in 6x12 pieces . If you prefer full 12x12 sheets… the total posted cost will be £22.50

Upgraded Kit £30 also includes 3 full 12x12 sheet (1/4 pack-one of each colourway ) of Speciality Foil papers, 3 full 12x12 sheet of  Foil paper (one of each colourway - so 1/2 pack not the Basic 1/4 pack) and 5 (1/4 pack) Heart charms. And postage for 12x12 sheets....
