Happiness Surrounds Epiosode 1, Inspire. Create. #029

The new set Happiness Surrounds and the coordinating thinlits are only going to be here for a short time - you have until the end of November to order them. So I thought I'd show you a few different ideas in case you were on the fence about ordering it This is Episode 1 of 5
I haven't used the Christmas set but I LOVE the simplicity and versatility of the Happiness Surrounds set.
I have used the layout from Inspire. Create. for this card. The focal piece is so lovely it doesn't need a complex background.
The gorgeous leaf circle has a matching "frilly"flower framelit to cut it out which layers beautifully over the solid "plain" flower framelit (you'll see that in a later post). So if you look at my card above I have cut two of these and layered them on top of each other. I think you could also use this as a Christmas wreath image.

the "frilly flower" is on the bottom row second from the left., and the other cute little emblem is the bottom row far right which is used on the inside of the card.


I do love a square card . 
The little detail poking out was a stitched label framelit that didn't come out cleanly, but it's just enough for some added detail on this card.

EDITED
so delighted to win a Special Mention in the challenge for Inspire. Create. #29

Pop back tomorrow for some more tips on using this lovely set.

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

cheers, Liz

Rolled paper roses Frames

Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, 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
