Saturday Simple Blossoms in Bloom in glorious In Colors...

 I like to include a card with my catalogues as I send them out... 

But it was a very very busy week when I wanted to send out the new Autumn Winter mini catalogue

But a thought crossed my mind... so I made a prototype... and thought ... hey why not! And what a great opportunity to play with all of the new In Colors too...

Clean, simple , fast... just perfect... for any occasion...

And then I had another idea... which made things even faster... for the last batch!! But come back on Tuesday for the tips and techniques for that...

Friday Field of Flowers - Gnome you're talking...

Amazing where these cheeky Gnome For The Holidays chappies get... in a Field of Flowers garden... as There's no place like gnome... 

Or when they put their swimmers on again..... friend like gnome other... out in the sun...                

So much fun with my little garden gnomes.......

Today's Thursday Tiles are full of...

Vintage vibes...  and reminding me of past denim days! And a technique that adds a mute softness to this image... 

Though would have been even better if I had thought to use the Tasteful Textile embossing folder after finishing my panel.... that would have been a real WOW!

Todays Tiles mosaic stamp inked up in Misty Moonlight, stamped off on scrap paper and then stamped onto my 10.1cm/4" square panel... Repeated for the other side...

Then Gray Granite overstamped... again twice..

Greeting stamped on 10.1cm/4" x 2.5cm/1" high Whisper White panel ... and added to cover the 3rd section* down... along with a bit of simple white Bakers Twine to finish... 

Adhered to a small square Seaside Spray card blank... 10.5cm or 4 1/8" square 

* brilliant way of covering an "oopsy"... Shhh.. don't tell everyone...

Merry Monday 4 Gnome 3 ways...

Starting this mini series with our Gnome for the Holidays on extra small square cards (9.9cm square or 3 7/8") which means 3 cards from one piece of A4 card ... bargain! As a little goes a long way... 

Greetings all cut from the nw and coming Trimming The Town papers... And ... Whisper White panels 7cm Square, Real Red panels 7.4cm Square

Then dressing up a step... the 4 white panels being set on a Real Red large square card (14.8cm Square or c 5 7/8") 

And then ... adding the 14.8cm square panel to an 8" square card... WoW! Such impact...

And actually I should have made some 7.4cm ( c 2 7/8") cards whilst I was at it... as they would be so perfect for that big batch of cards for everyone in the class at school...
