Fun Fold Friday... Sun Prints Pop Up Concertina Fold Card

Wow! Its been a while since I last posted... so a confession! 

As well as a quick Pop Up Concertina Fold card share for you... the simplest version you will ever see!

 

Oh and if anyone fancy a Sun Prints Kit??? UK only... Or a Tutorial bundle if elsewhere... Same offer as the Awash with Beauty kit shared here... though you will also need the Nature's Prints stamp set/bundle for these cards...

Just contact me by clicking here to email me OR by using the contact form down the right hand side of the blog... next order going in 31st August... 

And so my confession! Think I need to give myself a bit of a blog-oliday... 

A seriously under-performing PC (so so slow!! need a new one!), a sporadic printer service (need a new one!)... along with a few key Blogger and Stampin' Up! website changes over the past few years (so so more time consuming!) has made the process of blogging excruciatingly slower than before... so I just don't find that spare hour (or so) everyday anymore... or even a few times a week...

Oh and back-ache (again!) as soon as I spend time on the PC! Though I may have just sussed something with regards to this!! Fingers very crossed...

But...  even though I produce less projects (as I run far less classes nowadays)  I actually have quite a lot of projects made and ready to share... so I may still pop on from time to time with a quick and simple post... and I am in the throes of making a lot more for a session next week... 

And then I'm onto Christmas!! And (for those who have been here with me for a few years!)... you know how much I enjoy making those and that I normally make rather a lot!!

Thursday 3" ers...

Cut a lovely piece of 12x12 Awash in Beauty paper into 3" wide strips...and what do you get? 

Well ... and very simply... 16 of these cards from one pack of papers... 

I have set on a DL card base (aka Tall Skinny card) but you can  set on a standard A6 (or US A2) card blank too... you'd just cut more of the paper height away!

And for those of you asking me about paper kits and tutorials over the past week... here you go... just scroll back to see more pictures of the other 2 fancy fold cards included...

My Awash in Beauty co-ordinating paper kit for those of you in the UK... and PDF tutorials for everyone else and UK! 

I would REALLY love your support with these kits... 

Just CLICK HERE to email me for a Paypal invoice or more details... but don't forget to tell me which kit you would like and the relevant email address... Order going in imminently if you wish to be sure of getting these lovely papers... but I can do another round for the end of the month...

And remember if you add a £45+bundle/order... then you will qualify for a Sale A Bration freebie... 

Note that the Paper Kit does not count towards qualifying Sale A Bration spends...

Fun Fold Friday - Awash with Beauty Pop Up Concertina Fold Card

Such a pretty floral suite and papers... introducing the gorgeous Awash with Beauty suite...

Thought I'd just quickly pop on and share a card... another pop up concertina fold card... as trying to find the time for a longer post with all the details is proving much more difficult at the moment... 

Combination of PC/technical issues... and a few more parties and meet ups as we all try to live more normally!! 

And oh... a very hot heatwave phase here this week! Have to admit... I just hid!! Though at least I did sort a couple of technical issues as I did!
