A Beautiful Gatefold and a trip to Ikea

Hello friends

How is your week going so far?

Yesterday Mitchell and I ventured to Lakeside (Essex)

specifically to visit Ikea.  Thankfully it wasn't too busy and we got

everything we needed within an hour.

So...what was we buying?

Among other things (that I didn't actually go to buy!)

we purchased a table and storage drawers to create an area for photography

and videos.  This is Mitchell's new role for Hope and Chances.

Along with helping me with Facebook Live he is going to 

be shooting other videos and taking project photos.

We have complicated lights arriving tomorrow! 

Elliott is still on hand when he isn't at Uni and studying hard,

I am grateful that Mitchell is stepping in to help because sometimes

it all gets a little bit hectic. 

The idea is that it frees me up to craft more...I like the sound of that! 

Talking of craft...today's card is very simple. 

So simple it uses just two colours of cardstock and two die cuts.

The die is the very beautiful Floral Gatefold.

This is a really good sized die and makes an impressive card in minutes.

Simply by folding down the score line and creating a gatefold,

white on midnight blue cardstock.

I chose to use some twine to keep the card closed.

You could of course use ribbon and also add a message/invitation inside .

So much cut out detail with this die, look at those leaves!

I've got a thing about leaves right now.

Floral Gatefold is available on the website here

and for a limited time the price has been reduced.

Please stop by tomorrow for Friday Die Day.

Take care friends and it's nearly the weekend.
