Merry Monday - Sip Sip Snow Front From Our House to Yours!

Yup that "mad" title sums up my trio of lovely creation swaps I am sharing with you today!

First up this stunning little card using the new Sip Sip Hooray bundle... along with the perfect greeting from Playful Penguins... but sadly no creator's name on the back so I can't tell you who made it... as the training was a while ago...

And then we have Julie Kettlewell's gorgeous From Our House to Yours card... in Pool Party and Poppy Parade...

And finishing off today with this beautiful treat of a Snow Front & Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box treat holder...  and a treat for me tonight too (as I demolish the Roses Caramel sweet treat inside!) Sadly again... no name inside so I can't tell you who the clever one is that created it!

A trio of really fantastic makes... though I wish I could share the names of all the creators (so if it is you... or you know who... please click here and let me know...)  and thanks again for swapping with me...

Something Simple for the Weekend... super CAS Stitched Stars

 

So this card was pretty much created from yesterday's... so I guess I could call this another Scrap Card...

As the Stitched Star was lined up and die cut out of the centre of a 12 cm (4 3/4") square piece of Thick Whisper White card...

Then stuck to a 12.5cm (5") square Gray Granite card...

Swooshed with an embossing buddy...

Greeting (from So Many Stars) stamped in Versamark through the aperture...

White embossing Powder added... and heated to melt...

Finished off simply with a few shiny Gemstones...

Another perfect super - CAS (Clean & Simple) card for any occasion... just change up the greeting!

And here are the 2 cards together...

Something Special for the Weekend... Pop out Panel Card

Couple of back to back posts this weekend... as one creation creates the other!

Starting off with a favourite in last week's classes... for a special birthday... featuring Noble Peacock Papers & Foils, Stitched Stars dies, Stitched Rectangles dies, Itty Bitty Birthday... and retired Large Numbers dies...

Such a quick and easy card... and suitable for any age group... male/female...and most occasions... No idea why I hadn't made this one up before! And I reckon a few more to grace these pages as time moves on!! So more on this another day!

In the meantime... I just snipped the Stitched Rectangle between the 2 words on the greeting...so then it could pop behind the numbers... and be totally readable!!

Double Gap Stitched Stars Card for Fun Fold Friday

Sometime the simplest of ideas for a card fold work... and sometimes they don't so much... but I will let you decide which way this card fold went... 

So for today... whilst I keep you guessing... 

I would love to hear your thoughts... and any guesses as to how this Double Gap Card is made... and what about it made me 'laugh out very loud" ...

You can use comments below OR the feedback form down the right hand side (or email me) 

And in the meantime... I will point you this way to see more information on the Stitched Stars parts and decoration... 

Curvy Treat Snowman for 3D Thursday

Cased from the catalogue...

So cute! And again perfect for our Ferrero Rocher and Lindor ball treats on the christmas table...

And so easy with the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit... just peel and stick!

Though I have to admit to not having the Real Red Curly Ribbon used in the catalogue shot... 

Such a shame... but luckily some retired Cherry Cobbler trim came in useful so I could at least finish the project off! But guess who now has some ribbon to buy!!

Wednesday WOW - A Moose is Loose!

More christmassy inspiration for you...  featuring some of our animal friends.... and made by fellow UK demos near and far!

First up Donna Golby's stunning coppery sponged Merry Moose notecard...

Then a lovely Merry Moose tag on a card by (sadly) unknown...

And finishing off with Issy Szczecinski's gorgeous Natures Beauty deer paired with Very Versailles..

Thank you again for your beautiful cards and for swapping with me ladies...

Tuesday Trio of Thoughts from Friends #2

Another trio of beautiful cards from fellow friends, team members, customers and demonstrators...  In no particular order... and again thank you all for your thoughts at that time....

Nic Baker's beautiful Centre Pop Up Notecard featuring the So Shelli Paper Pumpkin kit... which is no longer available in English... but is available (in UK and Europe) in French or German ... and even reduced to £15 in German... and I reckon you will already have greetings to use instead of those German language stamps!

 Kate Martin's stunning Heirloom Frames & Frosted Bouquet dies A6 card

And Julie Wade's gorgeous A6 card with Four Petal punched Pop of Petals flowers with Rooted in Nature greeting...

PS All is still 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...
