Merry Monday - Double Pop Out Concertina Card- Peaceful Place #5

Another quick share of my favourite Peaceful Place card today... a Double Pop Out Concertina card...

I am now focusing on the Class At Home (UK) and writing up the tutorials package as there has been much interest noted... though please feel free to register your interest too (either comment on the post or use the contact form down the RHS)

And I have to thank you so much for your kind comments in doing so... I needed the "lift" that they have given me today.... and I hope to be back with all the details very soon...

Sunday Special - Pop Out Concertina Card - Peaceful Place #4

I will have to be brief today... as life has just delivered a curve ball... but I wanted to quickly come and show you the other part of yesterdays creation... 

A Pop Out Concertina card that sprang into my mind from nowhere!! I still love it when my brain comes up with something new... and then it is so satisfying when it can compute a design that works! As many a great idea doesn't then work out ...

Love this new card fold... I can think of so many uses... and a few variants! I will be back with more details sometime soon... sorry that I have to dash...

Edited to Add -  I have written up up a PDF tutorial bundle for 6 of my Peaceful Place cards... and I offer a Class in the (UK only) post too... See HERE for more details

Simple for Saturday - Blended Peaceful Place #3

 

I was asked to do the Northern Lights technique with my Peaceful Place papers... but my mojo had other ideas...

So same technique... but more subtle!

One Blender brush... 3 blues... Balmy Blue... then Misty Moonlight and finishing off around the edges with Night of Navy...

Edited to Add -  I have written up up a PDF tutorial bundle for 6 of my Peaceful Place cards... and I offer a Class in the (UK only) post too... See HERE for more details

Simply perfectly peaceful card! And such fun too... 

And created from a paper scrap... but more on the other another day!

Though I now hope to be able to create a truer Northern Lights version... as friends have just sent me some fabulous "real" photos from their trip away... so won't that be a great Christmas card for them!

Friday Fun Fold - Lock & Pop Card Tutorial

Another Large Square Lock & Pop card for you today... 

As one just had to be made with a Merriest Frames embossed and die cut panel... though still featuring the gorgeous Tidings of Christmas papers and Merriest Moments stamps...

Click here for the previous Christmas one... or here OR here for All Year round versions... And yes... I did finish the 60+ cards mentioned... but more on that another day...

So whilst I am at it... a quick tutorial for you too... love a simple fun fold like this one... 

1. Cut cardstock to 14.8cm x 29cm

2. Landscape. Score at 1, 7, 13, 16, 22 & 28cm 

3. Bone Fold Mountain, Valley, Mountain, Mountain, Valley, Mountain

4. Decorate as required.
I prepped 3 panels of papers cut to 11 x 14.3cm H. Which we then cut in half in portrait orientation to 5.5 x 14.3cm H just prior to sticking... Saves all the panels getting all mixed up!

Oh and yes lots going out with the Merriest Frames panel... but more on that another day...

Merriest Moments Monday #12-14

Adding more detail to my Merriest Moments cards... as the dies set has a large "mat die" which I have used with the gold Metallic Speciality paper...

Mounting up my embossed, die cut and stamped main feature panel with gold mat three ways...

So we have A5 card blanks in Evening Evergreen and then Very Vanilla... and finishing off with a large A5 Very Vanilla blank 

And a tip (and/or a bit of a laugh for you!) You can of course die cut flowers, leaves and even a gold matting panel from the large gold mat before you adhere it to the main feature panel....

But please think about the die placement! I cut lots out where I didn' t mean to!! Though luckily it didn't really show from the front...  In fact it made the gold mat a bit lighter....

New Product coming soon - Eden's Garden

Wednesday Wreath - Merriest Moments #11

Whilst the Merriest Moments is still out... it had to be done... a merry & joyful wreath! 

But before I start... and sorry for the repetition this week!... An admin matter... regarding blog post notification emails not arriving... click HERE for details to rectify... or simply to subscribe to blog post notifications by email for the future...

CLICK HERE for a quick pictorial on stamping a wreath with a "spray stamp"... though no Stamp A Ma Jig required with these photopolymer stamps... 

And 2 things I have to note...

(1) this stamp set is fabulous for stamping a wreath! So easy to add extra colour,  layers and depth.

Here I used Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen & Cherry Cobbler on a Large Square (14.8cm) Very Vanilla card blank with a 12.5cm Cherry Cobbler Mat and 12cm panel

(2) I don't think that my Merriest Moments bundle will be put away until it's actually Christmas! Lovely greetings & images, gorgeous embossing and die cut feature making such simple stunning cards... and such incredible versatility... a true great! Please please please let this one carryover come January...
