Elementary My Dear Watson

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday! Today I'm sharing a loaded pocket made with one of my favourite new paper collections Sherlock Holmes from Relatively Thoughtful. 

I do love all the old Sherlock Holmes films and television series, but I must confess that the latest BBC one is my favourite. Andrew Scott as Moriarty is just perfect!

The collection is full of backing papers and cut-apart sheets with images and sentiments.

Of course, I had to use a Papercrafting With Paul tutorial to make my stuffed pocket. This was so user-friendly - nice easy measurements lol. I'll put Paul's links at the end. This is the front with two pockets.

And this is the back with a picture of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself.

These are three photo mats that fit into the wallet

And these are the backs. As you can see, Relatively Thoughtful now has stamps - whoo-hoo!!

I made some tags and journalling cards from the cut-apart sheets.

These just fit into the pockets on the front. Is that a bloody handprint that I see.....

Yup, the photo mats fit perfectly. I love these boarders from the cut -apart sheets.

After 'Elementary my dear Watson' this is the quote that I always remember from Holmes.

Here's the very dashing Sherlock Holmes.

And the equally handsome Dr Watson.

As always the collection is available in both digital and paper format.

Bad Witches Only!

Good morning and a very spooky Sunday! Aren't these the cutest  Halloween papers that you've ever seen? It's the Halloween Happiness collection from Relatively Thoughtful.

Today I'm sharing one of my favourite card styles, as designed by the wonderful Paul Ford (Papercrafting With Paul), which is the Floating Hexagon.

I love how this style really shows off the papers.

I fell in love with this one as I used to have a white can when I was little.

And what's not to love about bats?

I would love to be a bad witch, but I think I'd be more of a well-meaning but clumsy one lol.

There's so much dimension to it, yet it all folds flat into a standard sized envelope.

As always the collection comes in both digital and paper formats, and can be found here in Sally's store.

Twit Twoo!!

Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today I've been playing with the beautiful new Autumn Glow collection from Relatively Thoughtful

I'm a massive fan of Paul Lang-Ford (Papercrafting With Paul) and when I saw his new tutorial for the WV fold card I knew that I wanted to give it a try. I'll put links to his Facebook page and YouTube at the bottom.

I started by choosing my papers and making the panels. The card fits perfectly into a 7x5 envelope.

You can see why it's called a WV card. Though in my head it will always be a VW - you can guess what car we used to drive! 

Aren't these owls gorgeous? As with all of Sally's kits there are loads of cut apart sheets.

Are you looking at me???

Whoooo me!!

I gave the owls a coat of Gloss Mod Podge, which does exactly what it says on the tin. They are really shiny and quite sturdy now!

You wouldn't mess with this guy, would you! 

 

As always the collection is available in both digital and A4 formats.

Isn't She Lovely!

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday. For my second project for Relatively Thoughtful this month I've made a tagbook using the beautiful Walter Crane, In The Garden collection.

I started by cutting out lots of tag shapes from the colourful flower papers.

Then I made them into tags.

Which I joined together with ribbon between the layers to make a booklet.

Aren't these beautiful images! I backed them onto black card so that they would stand out against the tags.

Here are some close-ups.

The quotes have been cut from the Autumn Passions collection.

I'm not an expert on flowers so hopefully I've not put Autumn quotes with Spring flowers lol.

And it all folds up nicely together.

As always the collection comes in both digital and A4 formats.

Autumn's Passion

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday! Today I'm sharing a Floating Hexagon card made with the beautiful Autumn Passions collection from Relatively Thoughtful. I hate to say goodbye to Summer, but Autumn really is such a spectacular season.

This fabulous design has been made following a super easy to understand tutorial by Paul Lang-Ford (Papercrafting With Paul)

It was really easy to make, and it all folds flat into a 7x5 envelope.

I'll put a link below to Paul's FaceBook group.

These are the pieces needed to make the card - the base just needs one sheet of A4 card

There are fabulous cut-apart sheets with lots of images to choose from.

This is how it looks from the top - it really shows off the beautiful papers.

And then folds up for a regular 7x5 envelope.

The collection comes in both digital and A4 paper formats.

Walk Like An Egyptian

 Good afternoon and a very happy Sunday. Here I am with my second blog post of the day/week/month! It's been such a long time since I've blogged, but I've got a perfect excuse. My son got married in Tenerife earlier this month (it seems so long ago now). He did the legal bit in June - (which is why I needed two new dresses) and it was a fabulous day/weekend/week of fun and partying.  But all good things must come to an end, and we're all safely home.

For my 2nd Relatively Thoughtful project this month I've made a Double Z fold card with the beautiful Egyptian Dreams collection.

These are such simple cards to make, but I think they look really effective, especially when you have such gorgeous papers.

I started by choosing my papers and making my base card. The worst part was knowing that some of the papers would be covered up.

Everything was designed around showing off these beautiful cat images!

These are going to be my main images.

Here kitty kitty!

He's looking rather regal, isn't he!

This is how the Double Z fits together. Isn't this scarab beetle fabulous!

As always the collection is available in the store in both digital and A4 formats
