Bench Fold Card Tutorials are now available for the Desks & Dressing Table and the Shop Window...

And finally... I can now say that I have finished the next 2 series of Bench Fold Card Tutorials... only taken 5 weeks solid between start and finish! Wow! 5 times longer than I ever ever expected! Such is life at the moment!

Want the know how? Click HERE to go and order the tutorial (s)... 

So more details for you... Click on the highlighted card name to go straight to the relevant blog post with more photos... 

Series Two covers the Dressing Table...

The Crafters Desk...

And the Student Desk... 

Series Three covers the Shop Window...

I wanted to create another version- or two ... but I reckon it would take me another 3-4 weeks the way things have gone... so I stopped myself! And so note that this is just the one... 

And you can also get Series One at the same time - on its own - or for a reduced rate if you buy all three at the same time... 

This covers the Aga (ie Range cooker), BBQ and the Tool Bench... 

Broadway Bound Good Luck... and Ombre Tuesday Tip!

Imagine the scene... the sudden realisation that you have less than an hour to make, address, photo..., get to the Post Office and send a card and a treat box to wish your son well in his exams... or you are going to miss the post and they will arrive the day after his first exam! As it is a Bank Holiday weekend...

So these happened! Talk about speed crafting... Broadway Bound papers... 

Amazing Life stamps (the ones in the bundle with the Rectangles Stitched dies! Still available with 10% off till 3rd June)... 

And of course our very favourite Stitched Shapes dies...

But he will be happy... as the box contains not one but two bars of chocolate! 

And oh yes... you guessed it... I covered one of those Lemon Lime Twist boxes I had already made...well speed was of the essence!! 

But for you... link to the tutorial here! 

Wouldn't care... but I seem to remember I was in the same last minute state last year! Though I blame the Bank Holidays of course!

And oh... nearly forgot.... My Ombre tip for today... 

See the word LUCK... coloured in with a Marker Pen... then coloured over the bottom again... with the same marker pen!! 

Simples!! Just wish I had take a close up shot for you...
