Hello Friend using Inspire. Create. Share-and a few handy tips for Amazing You.

Hello Beautiful Friend- using the beautiful colour combination from Inspire, Create, Share (and the layout which I've used from Caseing the Catty for #164 from page 17 of the catalogue).


What a lovely colour combination.

Playing with colour sometimes takes me back to childhood. I still remember being so excited the first time I learnt that mixing primary colours gave you a whole new world of variations. The colour wheel had me fascinated. I still love the surprise of what will happen when you mix different amounts of colour. In this case yellow and blue = green...... and it turns out to be very similar to Cucumber Crush using Bermuda Bay.
A few handy tips using this set:
  • I cut the leaves from the flower (a bit tricky but worth it). So now I can stamp the leaves and flower in different colours
  • I inked the leaf section in Daffodil and then added Bermuda Bay using a sponge dauber to only the main leaf stem
  • I inked the sunray in Daffodil and added Bermuda Bay using the sponge dauber to just the edges and stamped this image repeatedly in a row.



It's an easel card so the left over strip was perfect for creating the inside base place holder.


thanks for looking today, let me know if you have any questions about how to do this.

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

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
