Patchwork Quilt Themed Cards, great way to use up Paper scraps

Using up retired DSP, don't even remember the exact name of this Bella series. Red, Chocolate Chip and Pink Pirouette make a great combination
 Also uses the lace ribbon border punch which retired a while ago.
 Soft ribbon roses from the flower trim are also gone, I will miss them.
using up some Baja Breeze cardstock, some Attic Boutique Collection DSP and 2 of the sets of squares are stamped with the Elements of Style images.

My latest class making patchwork inspired cards.
 The DSP is Fan Fair which is soon retiring, Island indigo ink for this one,
 the red version is in the top photo with the trio of cards.
I loved how everyone had slightly different versions,
with different emphasis on where the solid coloured segments should go

Inchies make great patchwork and use up small scraps very effectively. I had lots of fun mixing and matching different patterns.
For some cards i sponged the edges of each square before adhering to the base layer.
once assembled I ran the patchwork through the Bigshot with an Embossing Folder with a detailed texture to give the appearance of a quilt.
Spectacularly easy!!!
thanks for looking, Liz

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
