Jill & Gez Go Crafting - May 11th

Hi everyone,

Welcome to another "Jill and Gez Go Crafting" when myself and my good friend Gez give each other a bit of exposure on our blogs. This week has been quite a sad one for Gez and I as three Stampin' Up! events we were meant to be attending this year were cancelled. In fact we were supposed to be getting ready this week to head off this coming weekend. Oh well, hopefully next year!

Back to today and our regular Jill & Gez Go Crafting post. If you haven't already seen one of these posts, let me explain a bit. Gez and I are very good friends who met through Stampin' Up! - we live at opposite ends of the country but talk most days. Gez has an amazing blog with loads of fabulous inspiration and really detailed tutorials - just hop over to https://www.nigezza.co.uk/. And also a brilliant YouTube channel which you can view HERE. 

Today I have chosen three beautiful gift bags which Gez has been making recently, starting with this one.

This is a fold flat, no cut gift bag - you'll have to pop over to Gez's blog to see what that means! Read all about it HERE.

Next is this this gorgeous bag Gez made for a blog hop which we both did this weekend, with a theme of "floral". She has used the lovely Magnolia Lane patterned paper which is so pretty!

Just love those circular handles. Read all about this cute project HERE.

Lastly for today, is this lovely bag from a little while back. Gez made this on a Facebook live, improvising as she went along! She even coloured the patterned paper herself!

Read all about it and watch the replay of the LIVE video HERE.

Hope you've enjoyed seeing Gez's projects today and that you'll pop over to see her fabulous blog. I'll be back with more from Gez in two weeks!

The Project Share Project - April 30th

Hi everyone,

Welcome to another Thursday and the Project Share Project where I get to showcase projects made by some of my crafty friends. Today I have chosen three fabulous projects for you, beginning with Verity of Inky Butterfly who has made this lovely card using two sets which will be retiring soon - Perennial Birthday and Label Me Bold. 

Hop over to Verity's blog to see the details about her card by CLICKING HERE.

Next is Heather of Stamp with Nellie. Heather has used the Magnolia Blooms stamp set (which will also be retiring) to make this clever card.

Pop over to Heather's blog by CLICKING HERE.

And last for today is Gez. Rather than retiring products, Gez's card uses a brand new embossing folder - Ornate Floral - and some new dies - Ornate Borders to make this pretty card. 

You can read all about Gez's project over on her blog by CLICKING HERE.

And that is another Project Share complete. I can't believe how quickly these weeks come round! Do join me again next Thursday for more inspiration from these wonderful ladies!

Sympathy card with Magnolia Blooms

Hi everyone,

Recently I have been trying to add cards for all sorts of occasions to my stash and I realised that I didn't have any "sympathy" cards. I think these are the hardest cards to make as it is never fun to be making cards for these sad occasions - so I think having a few to hand will be a lot better. As it happens almost as soon as I had made these cards I had a reason to send one - so sad.

Anyway, here are my cards:

And here is my video tutorial showing how I made these cards. Just CLICK HERE or on the image below:

                                        

And here are the measurements you'll need:

METRIC

Card blank - 29.7cm x 10.5 cm (half an A4 sheet), score at 14.8 cm

Cardstock panel - 6 cm x 14.2 cm

Patterned paper panel - 5.5 cm x 13.7 cm

IMPERIAL
Card blank - 11 3/4 ins x 4 1/8 ins (half an A4 sheet), score at 5 7/8 ins

Cardstock panel - 5 1/2 ins x 2 3/8 ins

Patterned paper panel - 5 1/4 ins x 2 1/8 ins

Hope you like today's project - back soon with another!
