Horse & Sleigh
Today’s card features the Horse & Sleigh Bundle an Online Exclusive product available from today. I shared some cards using this bundle and the co-ordinating One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper this week in my Facebook Live. Today I cut my card bases from Thick Basic White card. When you add these pieces together you get a Double Z-Fold card. I attached pieces of the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper across both of the card bases before I attached them together.
I stamped the sleigh image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set onto Basic White card using Pebbled Path ink and cut it out using the co-ordinating Horse & Sleigh Die. I scored the die cut image and attached it so that the sleigh is on the front of the card and you only see the horse when you open the card. I stamped the tree image from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set onto Basic White card using Mossy Meadow ink.
The trees are cut out using the co-ordinating Horse & Sleigh Die before I coloured the trunks using the Dark Pebbled Path Stampin’ Blend. I attached one tree to the card front using dimensionals underneath the top of the tree and two trees to the last panel also using dimensionals underneath the top part of the trees.
I stamped the greeting from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set onto Basic White card using Pebbled Path ink and cut it out using my Paper Snips. I attached the greeting over the end of the tree on the front of the card. To create somewhere to write a message, I stamped another greeting from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set onto BAsic White card using Pebbled Path ink. I attached a piece of One Horse Sleigh Designer Series Paper across the bottom of the panel and attached it to the back of the card.
I really love how the paper is so pretty and creates a scene for you without even trying. I hope you are going to pop onto my online store and check out the other new product available from today.

Thinking of You
Today’s card is one I created using some new and some old product from the current Annual Catalogue. I decided not to buy the Countryside Inn Suite or the Countryside Corners Bundle. However, I did purchase the Countyside Corners Dies. I love they way they layer and just know that I will use them a lot. (Edited to note: I did succumb as you could see by my cards last week!) I decided to use the Oceanfront stamp set and stamped the sand image across Basic White card using Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the sea image from the stamp set using Boho Blue ink. I stamped the sky using the same ink but I stamped onto scrap paper first. I stamped the large rock and the double rock images from the same stamp set using Crumb Cake ink. I masked the large rock and stamped the large grass image using Pebbled Path ink.
I removed the mask and stamped the smaller grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set twice using Pebbled Path ink. I stamped three birds onto the sky using the bird image from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut out the image using the third largest Countryside Corners Die.
I attached the image to Boho Blue card cut using the second largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies before attaching the whole panel to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I stamped the greeting from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set onto Basic White card using Boho ink and cut it out using the co-ordinating Wonderful Thoughts Die. I attached the greeting to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the sand and double rock images from the Oceanfront stamp set on the lower left hand corner of the inside of the card using Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the small grass image from the same stamp set three times using Pebbled Path ink.
I just love the look of these dies, don’t you?

Some pictures from our holiday with Mum and Dad last October. For this page I cut down a piece of retired Design a Daydream 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and attached it to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I attached a piece of Pool Party card onto the upper left hand corner of the page and a piece of Gray Granite card to the lower right hand side of the page. I attached my photos to Gray Granite card and then Night of Navy card before attaching it to the page.
I cut the title from Basic White card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies and attached them across the Night of Navy card. I stamped the ship from the On The Ocean stamp set onto Basic White card twice, once using Night of Navy ink and once using Pool Party ink. I cut out the images and then cut the sails from the Pool Party image. I attached the Pool Party sails to the Night of Navy image before attaching it to the lower left hand corner of the page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card, cut it into strips before attaching it across the Gray Ganite card. Another simple page but it is so lovely to remember these times with Mum and Dad.

Countryside Corners
Today I have a fancy fold card to share that I have been meaning to try for a long time and since I used this product suite in my Facebook Live this week, I thought it was about time. I followed some instructions for this Multi-Panel Accordian card that I found on Pinterest by Beccy Muir in Queensland. I cut my card base pieces from Basic White card and cut the openings in the larger card base using one of the Countryside Corners Dies. I cut four pieces of the same pattern of Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. I cut the centre from two of the panels using a slightly larger Countryside Corners Die before attaching them to the large card base. I attached panels of a different pattern of the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper to the smaller card base.
I also decorated the smaller card base by cutting Basic White card using the large flower die from the Around the Bend Dies. I also cut each of the leaves from the Around the Bend Dies from Soft Sea Foam card. The flower centres are cut from Lemon Lolly card using the Around the Bend Die. I layered the flowers onto the two outside sections of the smaller card bases.
I also stamped the greeting from the Charming Sentiments stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. The greeting is cut out using the co-ordinating Charming Sentiments Die before being attached to the left hand outside panel. The smaller card base is attached to the outside panel of the larger card base so that it sits behind the openings. To decorate the front of the card, I embossed a panel of Night of Navy card using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. I inked one of the borders from the Countryside Corners stamp using a Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker and stamped onto Basic White card.
I cut out the image using one of the Countryside Corners Dies. I cut a narrow strip of Basic White card to create a belly band and attached the stamped die cut onto the front. I cut Night of Navy card and Basic White card using the “happy birthday” dies from the Wanted to Say Dies. The dies are attached together before attaching them to the centre of the stamped panel. Since there is nowhere on the inside of the card to write a message, I attached Basic White card to a panel of Night of Navy card before attaching it to the back of the card.
This is not a 5 minute card, but so worth the time it took to create, don’t you think.

Happy Birthday Emma
My youngest daughter recently celebrated her birthday and today I am going to share with you the card I made for her. I followed some instructions shared by Susan Campfield on You Tube to create this Double Decker Pop Out card. I cut my card base from Thick Basic White card and attached a piece of Hello, Irresistible 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper onto the inside. I embossed Basic White card using one of the folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and attached one each to the smaller panels. I stamped the smaller flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Flirty Flamingo.
I masked the flower and stamped the double leaf image from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set using Pretty Peacock ink. I attached the stamped panel onto the pop up on the inside of the card. To decorate the front panel, I stamped “happy birthday” from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto the upper right hand corner of Basic White card using Pretty Peacock ink. I attached the stamped panel to Pretty Peacock card and then the card front.
I stamped one large and two small flowers from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set onto Basic Whtie card using Flirty Flamingo ink. I also stamped the double leaf image twice and the three leaf image once onto Basic White card using Pretty Peacock ink. Each of the images was cut out using the co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms Die. I layered the flowers and leaves onto the card front using dimensionals under the large flower. I added an Iridescent Pastel Gem to the centre of each of the flowers. Such a fun card to make which I hope my daughter loved. Thank you so much Susan for sharing your instructions.

Today’s page showcases the photo that Ethan sent to me after he got his “P” plates.. I embossed a piece of Blueberry Bushell card using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to the right hand side of a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I cut two strips of Crushed Curry card, embossed them using the same embossing folder and attached them across the page. I attached my photo to Night of Navy card before attaching it to the page.
I cut Basic White card using the now retired Stitched Rectangle Dies and attached it to the right hand side of the page using dimensionals. I cut Real Red card using two of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies and using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I used these two pieces to create my “P” which I attached to the Basic White rectangle. I stamped the image from the Scenic Wonders stamp set below the photo using Night of Navy ink. I wrote the date using one of the retired Journaling Pens. I cut the title from Night of Navy card and attached it above the photo. I love this page and am so happy for him to have passed this milestone.

Scenic Birthday
This week in my Facebook Live, I shared some cards I created using the Scenic Wonders stamp set. Today I have another one to share with you. For this card, I embossed Lost Lagoon card using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to scored and folded Thick Basic White card.
I used the Lost Lagoon and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers to ink up one of the images from the Scenic Wonders stamp set which I stamped onto Basic White card. I cut out the image using one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies before stamping the greeting from the Scenic Wonders stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink.
I also stamped the bird image from the same stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink before attaching the panel to the centre of the card front. I re-inked the image using the same Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped it onto the lower the left hand corner of Basic White card. This panel is attached to the inside of the card. This is a fabulous stamp set and if you check out my cards from my Facebook Live you will see how amazing these images turn out just using one ink colour! I hope I have inspired you to take a look at this stamp set from the new Annual Catalogue.

Happy 17th
My eldest grandson turned 17 last week and I thought I would share the card I made for him. I cut a piece of Basic White card into two pieces on the diagonal. I stamped the greeting from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of one panel before embossing the panels using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. I attached the embossed panels to Night of Navy card and then scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I stamped the largest balloon from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto Basic White card using Balmy Blue ink.
I stamped the large confetti balloon onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I stamped the medium sized balloon from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I cut the large balloon out using the co-ordinating Beautiful Balloons Die. I cut the confetti balloon out using the medium sized balloon die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies and the Night of Navy balloon using the smallest balloon die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies. I stamped the ribbon image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto Basic White card once using Balmy Blue ink and twice using Night of Navy ink. The ribbon images were cut out using the co-ordinating Beautiful Balloons Die. I attached the Night of Navy ribbons behind the two smaller balloons using dimensionals. I attached the Balmy Blue ribbon behind the largest Balloon using multipurpose glue. I attached the images to the card front using dimensionals under the two smaller balloons only. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped “happy” from the happy birthday stamp in the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I used the numbers in the Alphabest stamp set to stamp “17” onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I used the retired 3/4″ circle punch to punch out the number and the retired 1″ circle punch to punch Night of Navy card. I attached the two circles together and attached the panel below the “happy”. I stamped “birthday” from the happy birthday stamp from the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set below the number using Night of Navy ink.
I love the simple look of this card, just right for a young man, don’t you think?
