Card making with students to raise funds for Our Rainbow House




 Well I haven't posted for a while - have been busy!!
This is my second effort with card making as a fundraiser. I really enjoy being able to be creative for a good cause.
Last week I had a very enjoyable afternoon at Emmaus College with several yr 10 students who are members of the Justice Action Group ( and a few non students too!). They used stamps, punches, and embossing to create their cards. They made a selection of 4 different cards which they are going to sell at a school stall to raise funds for their charity - Rainbow House, which is a home for orphaned children in Zambia.
They were very creative and industrious. I love how everyone creates quite different looks using the same basic elements. I hope they raise lots of money!

Thanks to Kym Beattie for organising it all.
Flower Shop stamps and coordinating Pansy Punch made it so easy!

      Thanks Janet, it was a great day and they did really well. They didn't quite finish but have the materials there to assemble another 60 or so cards. It's a great thing they are committed to. cheers, 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...

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...

CI#165 Country Flowers posy

 Welcome back to Colour INKspriation round#165. This week we have some beautiful new colours in our challenge. Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie are new, and team beautifully with Petal Pink. I am using the Country Flowers set quite a lot at the moment preparing samples for class coming soon. I saw a card like this on Pinterest and thought it was so fun I had to try it. I have done a double front card quite often in the past but this version is a top fold rather than a regular book fold. I have developed the measurements for the metric market and will post them after the class. Here is my card, I am quite happy with how it turned out. The colours work really well together - although I will say I thought the green stool was a bit bright so I actually added a layer of Peach using the Alcohol blends for this card- it did tone it down a little. When you open the card front there is another pretty layer to catch your attention. The pot plant is a little simpler than the posy, but there is ple...
