Last of the Christmas Cards for JAI#390

Thankyou Narelle and the team at JAI for your inspiration sketch which popped up just at the right minute. I needed a layout for my last batch of Christmas cards (hopefully the last!!).
I love the one under /one over strips so that worked perfectly- I wanted to use this gorgeous Mint Macaron ribbon- even though it's a retired colour I still love it. And it also gave me a chance to use up some other retired ribbons and metallic cardstock I've had lying around. Cards are made and written and will be in the post on my way to work.



I'm also quite excited about my new business cards which I had printed to pop into my cards when I send them, Thanks to Lyssa Zwolanek at Song of My Heart Stampers for the inspiration for these.


I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

    Such cute and pretty cards Liz! Your beautifully coloured tree inside the light bulb is super cute and your mix of patterned and sparkly paper accent your sentiment so perfectly. Thanks for sharing with us again at Just Add Ink.

    Oh you have been busy. I love your wonderful collection of ribbons and embellishments that make each card unique. It's great to see how changing the elements on each card makes them all different. Chantell Just Add Ink

    I love the watercoloring Liz - it adds so much texture and individuality to each card, the whole collection together looks really lovely! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.

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
