Plaid Tidings and Love of Leaves

Plaid Tidings and Love of Leaves. Have you looked at the Plaid Tidings Papers from the August – December Catalogue yet? I did a project using them a few weeks ago, but they keep surprising me. There are so many colours in them that I think they are perfect for pretty much every project you are looking at. Today I am focusing on just one piece, but both sides. I am also looking at just one piece of the In Good Taste Papers from the Annual Catalogue. I have paired them with the Love of Leaves Bundle for both of my cards.

The Pattern from I chose from Plaid Tidings is pretty bright on both sides, so it can take some calming down with papers from the In Good Taste paper pack.

I chose to use Seaside Spray for my leaf on my first card. Like the wood print, it helps to soften the Plaid Tidings pattern. To get the paper the right size for the card front, I simply cut the Plaid Tidings piece in half and added Stampin’ Seal to the folded card front, concentrating on the top corners. All I needed to after that was trim the excess off, using my Paper Snips, from the back, using the edge of the card as a guide. Repeat the process with the In Good Taste paper and you have most of the front of the card finished.

The strip across the middle of the card is just a thin strip of Brushed Metallic Card adhered by adding a length of Tear & Tape to the back and trimming it so it is just 1/8″ wide. Because there is Tear & Tape on the back, it becomes a sticker. Add our leaf and a short piece of trim (frayed after tying the knot) a simple stamped sentiment and my favourite, Elegant Faceted Gems. Done!

Alternative Sides

Simply by turning the Designer Series Paper over you can get a totally different look. That was all I did for card front on the Alternative Version. I changed the leaf to Mango Melody, added Holiday Rhinestones and Braided Trim (also frayed) for a different look.

Technically the rhinestones I used are Pumpkin Pie, but I would challenge you to know that without me telling you. I did change the colour of the Brushed Metallic piece too, but those are the only different items I used.

Video Tutorial Time

To see exactly how I made the second version, take a look at today’s video. It includes lots of additional Hints and Tips, so I hope you find it helpful.

Stampin’ Cut & Emboss

If you have seen my unboxing of the new die cutting machine I am sure it will be on that Wish/Need List. Did you know that, although it is not available for Customers until next month, you are still able to get it in August. All you need to do is add Item #149653 to your Starter Kit and then decide what to spend the other £18 on. This means that you would not only get the new die cut machine NOW, but you would also save £31, no, make that £35.95 (I forgot that the Starter Kit includes the P&P!).

I pride myself on my Customer Service, so am always thrilled when someone chooses to shop with me so they can experience it for themselves. I also like to share as many products as possible with my customers, so, when you shop with me I split the Host Rewards between all of you if you use the HOST CODE.

But that that is not all. If you use the HOST CODE, you can also earn Sunflower Rewards. For every £30 you spend in any ONE order, you earn ONE reward. Earn 10 Rewards and you get to choose up to £30 of current (not discounted) product. Full details are on the Hostess Code Club Page. This month’s Host Code is:

YAVC7TYY

If your order is over £150 (plus P&P), please don’t use the Hostess Code as you will get to pick your own rewards, but don’t worry, you will still become a VIP Member. But, even better, if your order is even close to £100, please, please DO NOT ORDER!! Please get the Starter Kit and save money on this order and every future order until at least the end of January 2021.

The Starter Kit is ALWAYS the best deal in the Catalogue!  It is such amazing value at a total cost of just £99 (129€) for your choice of £130 (175€) of products (with no additional P&P)!
