3D Thursday Easter Baskets... AKA Painted Poppies # 8

Before I put the Painted Poppies away.... I couldn't resist a re-make of these 2 favourite Easter projects for the display...

But now I have been asked to include the Large one in some of next month's classes... happy to oblige for those that didn't create one before! Or would like another one....

Too many miles away from me to visit... then click here for the tutorial for the Small Basket... or here for the Large Basket... The main difference being that we now have the fantastic Basket Weave embossing folder for the even more realistic finish!

Wednesday Wideo - Mountain Air

Getting to the end of the latest releases of product videos.... but one of my favourites featured today... the Mountain Air bundle...

Perfect for our little scenes... which is right up my "street"... as my long term blog followers will know... as I do love to create a scene or two! But I was resisting the set... though my resolve has now gone after a quick 5 minutes searching on Google... one for my next order! You have been warned...

Click on the image below for the product video...

And for those of you that prefer the "one-shot-shows-all" approach... let me show you...

The Mountain Air stamps...

Majestic Mountain dies...

And with the 10% off... the Mountain Air Bundle...

Tuesday TOP Tip! Small Bloom punch...

Well you should have heard me squeal when I realised this alternative usage of the Sale A Bration Small Bloom Punch! It isn't a 100% fit... but at about 98% it will do nicely for me...

Though it's a shame I didn't realise before some of my ladies made these cards last week!! Sorry girls!! No more fussy cutting required of these in the future!!

So worth it's weight in gold to me as I do so love that flower in Butterfly Wishes...  and it makes the Butterfly Wishes stamps an even more amazing set to have!! With two co-ordinating punches!!

And I was so excited I had to quickly make an aperture card (or two!) using my punched blooms and the newly arrived Sending Flowers dies....

Which I ABSOLUTELY love! Lots more to share!!

Though I did also make some cards made using the free Sale A Bration Thoughtful Blooms stamps that actually co-ordinate with this Small Blooms punch!! Which on second look is a real belter of a set! Funny how sometimes you have to use a set to realise it's true potential (or not as the case can always be!)

 

Oh I have had such a busy & creative day!! And I feel like Spring has sprung! I'd forgotten how happy the colour yellow makes me!!

Painted Poppies #7 - in Calypso Coral

Well I was rounding off the Painted Poppies extra long series today... after 7 days of poppies... but then I went and made a few more!!

So here are the Calypso Coral ones...

And more details on this basket coming over the next few days...

Sunday Suite - Birthday Bonanza

Oh we have had a lot of fun already with this Birthday Bonanza Suite... which is code for a lot of projects already made to be shared over the next week or so...

Now... I have to admit to getting an unexpected surprise with this suite... as I really LOVE the colour combination... so fresh... perfect for Spring and Summer... a tonic for the soul!

We are talking...  Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Mango Melody, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Whisper White along with Terracotta Tile & Crumb Cake in the papers which we didn't actually use on the day! 

So you may see this colour combination again soon... albeit in a totally different form...

But ... I digress... so back to the Sunday Suite! Consisting of...

Bonanza Buddies stamps...

Bonanza dies...

Or both together as the Bonanza Buddies Bundle (with that 10% off)
