Free Minute Friday...

If you popped in yesterday expecting to find a nice fast card for Three Minute Thursday, you may have been a little bewildered. I'm afraid I was having a senior moment and got my posts all mixed up, so we'll have a Free Minute Friday today instead and order will be restored!

At One Layer Wednesday this week, the challenge is to make a one layer card featuring stripes, and that's what inspired me to make this quick card:

I often use three stripes from the Solid Stripes background stamp as a grounding device - I love the graphic look of it. Here I've used Early Espresso, Real Red and Old Olive - a favourite colour combination of mine for Christmas.

Here's a close-up of the stamped group. The tree is from a two-step stamping set called Trendy Trees where you stamp the trunk and the crown of the tree separately using a stamp-a-majig. You can line them up perfectly but I rather like the effect of stamping them slightly 'off'. The tree is finished with the smallest size on my Basic Rhinestones sheet to add a little festive sparkle.

Supplies needed for this card:

Stamps: Solid Stripes, Trendy Trees, Season of Joy (sentiment)

Ink: Early Espresso, Real Red, Old Olive

Card stock: Naturals Ivory

Other: Markers, Basic Rhinestones

I'd love to order any of these supplies for you and I can have them delivered to your address in the UK. I am committed to providing excellent customer service and am always happy to help and advise. Just send me an email or give me a call on 01280 820593. 

It's half term already - how on earth did that happen?! My two older children are off today and my youngest finishes this afternoon - whoopee!  - so we're thinking of celebrating with a visit to the cinema to see the Three Musketeers later.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you very soon.

Hugs,
