Hello there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Wednesday’s Blog is something new, right? 

Well, we are so, so very close to launching something brand and brilliantly new!

The wheels are in motion, 

the cogs are whirring; 

we are spinning on the spot,

running round in circles;

but rotate as we might, 

and we are wheelie, wheelie sorry, 

we’ll not have it ready for your approval 

before this afternoon.

But I’ve got to say, you’ll be impressed.

Bowled over.

I KNOW it!

So can you check back at around 4?

In the meantime, here’s a cool card which was set to be shown on TV on Sunday, but we never got to it. A Dee-lightful card. 

As you know, with all this Blogging, 

and You Tubing, 

and whatever else I get up to when you’re not watching, 

I have called in the Cavalry on TV prepping, 

and Dee Paramour was in the saddle on this one!

It’s wheelie lovely.

Not much used:

Manila Cardstock

Bicycle Stamp, 

little Flowers

Have a Wheelie Happy Birthday Stamp

or get the set of 3, as seen on TV

The New Tree,

The Boy in flight.

or get the set of 2, as seen on TV

Black Archival

Scoreboard & Bone folder.

White Fine Pen

Craft Knife

So, using Black Archival,

 stamp a meadow with the flowers first. 

Plant them all along the base.

Then stamp the bike and the large Trees.

Make hills with the Wheelie lovely Birthday Stamp.

Using a Scoreboard and a bone folder, score down the middle of the card.

Then score down the quarterway line at the front, 

but DON’T score through the trees.

Using a craftknife, like this one, cut out the parts of the trees and bike which go beyond the quarterway line.

Punch out a Black Moon and cut out a few little flowers. 

Highlight them with a white fineline pen.

In fact, highlight the whole card with your white pen!

 It will make the card pop!

Less is certainly more here.

You can add the little flowers, too.

Now, if you were feeling wheelie wheelie adventurous, you could even bring in a flap from the right and add my favourite stamp of all time, the little boy in flight.

 What a fantastic Birthday Card for a young lad!

Says it all really….

Hahaha. 

Just remembered that old joke, 

when the lad went in the chemists and asked for a packet of 
Tampax (other brands may be available!) 

When the assistant asked him why he wanted them, he responded

“I want to fly, I want to swim, ride a bike, climb mountains!”

But of course, unless you remember those cheesy commercials from the 70’s, that will mean absollootlynuffink to you!

Sorry about that….

Hahaha. 

Just remembered sending my younger brother down the road for some. He had no idea what they were for. Watched him walking back up the road, throwing the box up in the air and catching it, pretending to be Gordon Banks! Sucker!!!

 Anyway, hope you like the artwork!

 Do pop back later! 

Just when you thought it had all been invented….

much love,
