Quick Easter Treats with "Hey Chick" and some retiring products

This morning I whipped up a few small gifts for the staff in the office. (before my husband went to work, super quick) I love using up bits and pieces that I have been saving  (no it's not hoarding if you use them, no matter how long it takes you to get round to it!) And though the gift is very small the wrapping says "You Matter"!

Lots of lucky people have the "Hey Chick" set in their stash now, and this is a great way to use it for Easter. I ran out of time for baking, so each bag contains a selection of Easter eggs, but it's not really about the chocolate, it's about giving.


These use up some retiring ribbon and twine and DSP in the Cucumber Crush range, As well as some old ribbon and retired paper.  It's amazing what you can do with the Triple Banner Punch, some string and a stapler

These days I love to have a stash of little paper bags on hand. These are not Stampin' Up! but they were the only design I had on hand that had enough numbers for what I needed. I can tell you the bags for 2017 in the new catalogue are pretty awesome, but any bag can be dressed up.

Sadly the Kraft Tag a Bag pack have already sold out from the Retirement List. 
So don't leave it too long if there was something you wanted, once they are gone, they are gone for good!

I hope you have a wonderful Easter- I'm so looking forward to being with family for a precious few days.

Happy Stamping, 

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...

500 challenges at CASEing the Catty ' - how fantastic to be involved

What an honour to be invited back to join with the Caseing the Catty team for their 500th challenge! Thankyou Bec for thinking of me. I started with the CTC crew way back at the beginning and I still go to the catalogue as a ready reference for creative ideas. The earliest post I can find is 2014 - CTC#3! 10 years of crafting along, that's pretty amazing. For this challenge it was completely open to choose any project to  CASE from either the annual or the Christmas mini catalogue. There are lots of projects in there that spark a creative journey for me and I did have a hard time choosing. In the end I opted for something simple since none of us have much free time at this hectic time of year. To make things a tad more difficult I have covid so feeling pretty low on energy. Lucky that crafting is a relaxing pastime and I can sit at my craft desk without be scolded too much by my loving DH that I need to be resting! For my projects I have created a Christmas Card and a matching Gift...
