Happiness Surrounds Episode 3, positioning tips

Welcome back for Episode 3 where I used the set for some all over stamping.
I love the effect you can create with these gorgeous images and some simple stamping.
I have used the fabulous foil edged notecards and envelopes again, Simple and quick with a big wow factor.



Using the stamparatus for these images makes repeated stamping like this easy. 
  • Stamp all 3 colours with your card held in one position.
  • then move the cardstock to your next position and anchor it with the magnets and restamp all 3 colours
  • Repeat until happy
  • if you mark the underlying gridpaper with the position each time you stamp the images, you can repeat this pattern and stamp multiple cards 
  • to line up the images stamp the large outer circle first
  • position the radial leaf image with the tip of each leaf matching the base of the little fountain spray image - see photo below
  • position the small solid flower image with the join between each petal exactly matching the base of the leaf stalk in the radial image - see photo below





It will look fabulous every time.
Experiment with different colours.
I've also used this combo which I love

Here is another version using the same principal 


Tomorrow's episode is part of a blog hop so there will be even more samples.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,

If you would like to order this fabulous set please use the Hostess Code for October, and I will send you a little thankyou gift.

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...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
