Million Dollar Moments and Polka Dot Parade

Have been playing around with the very cute stamp set Million Dollar Moments (#125135, on page 38 of the summer mini catalogue) It's a lot of fun to play with but it is only available as a Hostess Set. I like it so much I had to throw myself a party! So if you would like a set for yourself please contact me to book a party. I apologise for my poor photography, they do look much better in real life!! but here are a few samples. Thanks for looking, Liz
Rich Razzleberry and Sahara Sand, with
Dazzling details glitter to the brolly and the boots and the centres of the flowers.


Tempting Turqoise DSP on Tempting Turquoise cardstock,
layered onto Island Indigo card base.
The image is stamped onto Very Vanilla and the Ovals Framelits
 were used to cut out the image and the Island Indgo mat behind.
The Strip of "clouds" was made using the Tempting Tuquoise 
ink which I used to cover the  fancy Fan embossing folder
befor running it throught the Big Shot
. and the sentiment was punched using
 the mini Curly Label Punch from Sale-a-Bration.
 All in all quite cute and fun to make.

Real Red ink and DSP, Night of Navy cardstock and ink.
 Crystal Effects on the brolly, and the Red Glimmer Paper for the punched Heart.
Tiny Tags and  a rhinestone brad.
I think this is my favourite.
The gloss on the Umbrella is quite cute.but doesn't shopw up well here, nor does the glitter
on the heart.

Pumplin Pie and Melon Mambo ink and paper were used here, layered ont.o Night of Navy Cardstock.

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu...

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
