Sunday Suite - Fine Art Floral

Introducing the Fine Art Floral Suite... consisting of Art Gallery bundle, Fine Art Floral papers, the must have Heat & Stick powder with Gold Gilded Leafing .. and other co-ordinating products... 

Now this is the suite that has caused the biggest buzz amongst my ladies... But in a "Marmite" sort of a way! They either absolutely LOVE it... or they really don't!! How about you?

I am a game of 2 halves... I love and don't like an equal amount of parts! 

For me most of the Fine Art Floral papers are too busy and with too many colours "at a time" for my liking...  Click here for the sheet by sheet paper pack shot...

Though I love it when the Golden Garden acetate is overlaid on top... as it breaks things up just enough... making a bit of perfection... 2 of these can be laid over

Next images thanks to Rachel Tessman at www.stampyourartout.com who shared these beautiful cards and how to cut your acetate laid over paper sheets.... with instructions in her blog post.... Aren't these just stunning... Thank you Rachel...

And I LOVE that Heat & Stick powder is back... can't tell you how much I have missed this wonderful product in my crafting... and the Gilded Leafing is amazing too!

Think the Art Gallery stamps is a fantastic all round greeting set... as well as having fabulous flowers and leaves... The gold overlay using the Gilding Flakes is an amazing feature...

And I love love love the Just Want to Say expression in the set of Floral Gallery dies...

Think the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder will be very effective... though this is one I need to see before purchase... so if anyone would like to send me a close up picture I'd appreciate it!

And finishing off with some more lovely natural 3/8" Ribbon...

And before I go... here are a lot of Fine Art Floral projects to whet your appetite...

True Love & Brilliant Wings Pop Out Panel Card

Love the simplicity of the Pop Out Panel cards... though I have modified the dimensions this time round... but more on that another day... Sorry... need to dash!

In the meantime this is another chance to check out the beautiful Brilliant Wings dies... see the stunning die cut butterfly top right...

Cut flowers fussy cut from the True Love papers and coloured with Stampin' Blends... 

Greeting from Happiest of Birthdays - which is definitely my go to birthday greetings set at the moment... and one that is very very likely to be a keeper! As I do so love a BIG greeting....

And check out the colouring of the papers to the sides... with just a quick "swoosh" of 2 Stampin Blends... 

And remember that I do have a co-ordinated True Love Paper Kit available ... Click here  - and scroll down - for more details

And just in case you were wondering...I had a lovely colouring session of pink flowers last night.... I am wondering if I might be getting a bit converted....

Fun Fold Friday - True Love A6 Double Fan Fold

Quickly popping on with another of the Double Fan Fold cards I made with the True Love pack of papers... 

Though I have just realised that this one is my A6 version from A4 card... so let me know in the comments if you are interested in the recipe and instructions... but I'll have to come back another day with those...

But for a young man this time soI didn't want any flowers... but as always ... the Stitched Stars dies came to the rescue... where would I be for the menfolk  - and for congratulations cards - without them!! Oh and the retired Large Letters of course - definitely can't be without those!

So it's a very happy 21st birthday Tom... from us to you... 

And remember I have put a True Love co-ordinated Paper Kit together for those of you that want to try without buying everything! Next Close date 22 March. Click here for more details... and scroll down...

Tuesday Trio - Geraniums....

So as I was kitting out the Welcoming Window Class in the Mail... I thought I should add a simple but fun fold card to the pack... just to say Thank You...

But time was of the essence... so a simple easel card with geraniums fit the bill... and so making a nice little trio of geranium cards for you...

Love how the planter makes the perfect "stop" and greeting label for the card... with those flowers strategically placed below the window...

Bricks stamped repeatedly in Sahara Sand using the brick stamp in the set... and then Sahara Sand ink brush blended (or sponged) over the top...

Missed out on the first round of the Welcoming Window Class in the Mail kit... 

Well never fear... second round requested and now on for the product bundle with the 10 card free class kit in the UK ... Close date 23rd March... though actually the card kits can be with you within 5 days (on a first come first served basis... as I prepped a few more as I was doing the first round)

Live elsewhere or already have your own Welcoming Windows.... you can just buy all the tutorials for not 8... not even 10.. or 14... but actually 15 cards... in a whopping 19 pages of step by step photo tutorials in PDF format...

PS this Simple Easel card is not included in the Tutorials... But just score a LANDSCAPE 21 x 10.5cm piece of card at 5.25 and 10.5cm (or for US Letter.. trim & score a LANDSCAPE 8 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of card at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4") and mountain bone fold both score lines

Terracotta Pots and Geraniums...

 

I just found another Welcoming Window card that I missed at the time.... check out the simple stamping of greenery for the small pot on the left hand side...

Again another card that takes me back to many a holiday in sunny France... with geraniums in terracotta pots around barns....

Though I had a play with the colours used for the terracotta pots... and decided I like Calypso Coral (large pot) and Terracotta Tile (small pot) the best...

But I also tried Cajun Craze and Cinnamon Cider...

Fun Fold Friday - Welcoming Window Bridge Fold Card

So as I was typing up the tutorials for the Welcoming Window class... I realised that I could make a few things easier to do on the Bridge Fold card... and so needed to take some step by step photos again...

So I made another card up... and added a bit of variety to my lovely flowers.... much more Spring like... just care of a few Marker Pens direct onto those lovely buds... Gorgeous!

The Tutorial PDF is now available... ending up as a whopping 19 pages worth... as lots of step by step photos... covering these 10 different cards and the different decorative elements...
