We both have our covid vaccinations finally sorted for next week albeit mine is at a Pharmacy (as I have to have the Oxford one due to all my allergies and The Doc is having the Pfizer one at the local hub via his G.P. surgery. Throw in searching for a food delivery slot and I feel like I have been glued to my computer 24/7.
Here are a few more Herringbone cards for inspirations for the current Butterfly Challenge which ends next Tuesday 9th Feb.8pm (GMT).
This first card uses a panel of herringbone. I have a tutorial on how to make over on the Butterfly Blog on the Card shapes tab. This is Version IV.
From the wheel I have used Herringbone/ Hemp/Hansa Yellow/Hazel/Butterfly.
The herringbone design lends itself perfectly to being a Tri Fold Card.
Second card is a panel of Random Broken Herringbone. Again I have written a tutorial for it over on the Butterfly blog. You will find it under Version V
From the wheel I have used. Herringbone/Hemp/Heat Wave/Hansa Yellow/Hazel/Butterfly.
The butterfly stamp is by Stampography and coloured using my Promarkers. Fussy Cut and mounted onto a label die cut by Sizzix and a 2" circle punch. Sentiment by Kaisercraft.
Last card is a variation of Version I (again over on the butterfly blog card shapes page) but uses solid blocks of colour opposite one another. I have divided the sections up using a butterfly washi tape from my stash. The label shape is an SU Punch and the sentiment is by Julie Hickey.
All of the UK goodie bags have been sent out now and I am starting on the International ones . This click and drop with the Post Office is certainly a learning curve as the first one to USA went out wrong. I hadn't enabled the button for printing off the CN 22 Customs Declaration labels so had to do it manually. My good buddy Miss Di soon sorted me out though. Thanks Di.
Stay safe
Hugs

Fabulous wish I had a spare space in Feb to do this, but next challenge...
Some weeks are like this aren't they but good that your mouth is now sorted out. More great inspiration for the herringbone idea.
What beautiful new models you made again Mrs A.
You also used beautiful materials, I took a good look at the photos.
Kind regards, Wilma xx
Great designs, love the patterns
I love all your herringbone patterns, Mrs A. Very creative.
Having spent one and a half hours in the dentist chair last Monday, I have every sympathy with you for your appointments. Glad everything is finished for you now. xx
Hi Mrs A your cards are gorgeous. I love how you can use up so many scraps with these designs. I am so pleased that the work on your teeth has finished and that you are both being vaccinated. Have a good weekend. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Fabulous cards.
Valerija xx
These designs are beautiful Mrs A- such effective techniques and the results are gorgeous- great way of using up the little scraps I can never bear to throw away! Good news about your vaccinations and it must feel wonderful to have your dental work finished!

Totally botched up my comments! Try again:
I said what super cards and also how many there were in the Playground! New trend I think.
Always feel free to ask about Click and Drop although I do think you've cracked it now. It's not the most user friendly system and took me a goos while to feel happy using it. Lock down forced the issue really.
Snow forecast in next few days - here's hoping it's just a light covering - if we even get any and that all is clear by Tuesday! Sigh.
Hugs

Wow, this has cost you quite some time to make all those paperstripes. Great using of snippets, I think!

Wow, so creative and beautiful, I have to check all the tutorials. Thank you so much.
You at least have the option to post it all by youself, we still have to go to our local post office, grrrr... Only one customer could be in there and there is a lot of waiting outside, grr...

Hi Valery, your cards are so beautiful, fabulous papers and designs.
Pleased you finally got your teeth fixed, and that you're to have your jabs nest week, me too, it's all moving in the right direction.
Keep safe, Kate x
These are stunning, I had a faux pas with mine and just used a stencil. I got post today and am waiting till morning to open it, Thank You xx Hazel x
Great to hear your teeth are all sorted now. We haven't even started on vaccinations as yet. The frontline workers are supposed to be all vaccinated by the end of March and there should be enough from the first shipment to also do some of the older citizens. I think we are only getting the Pfizer one initially (when it gets here).
I finished my herringbone card yesterday but still need to get around to photographing it etc. I wish I'd held off as I quite like some of the examples above.
Fabulous herringbone patterns, color combinations and designs Valery Anne.
