Celebrate Mini Album for Social Stamping Blog hop

I created this mini- album as an order for a friend to give to her relative for a graduation but I have never written about it so I thought I would share it in this theme of Celebrations. It uses lots of retired products including Memories and More cards and stamp sets. 
The concertina card is a common style of card I make for big occasions and lots of people to sign. 
The tin was from a collection of post it notes that I found at Spotlight and purchased from the sale bin - not for the post it notes but for the container!



If you hold the ribbon loop and pull it up you get the concertina to open.








The base card is glued into the tin....So you have to be a bit creative with book supports etc when you sign the individual pages, but it adds to the fun!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my project. 

Be sure and hop all the way around the bloghop to see 
everyone's great projects for the celebration theme. Thanks again to Kelly for all her hard work organising this means of sharing.
If you get lost you can link back to Kelly here to see the full list of participants.

Next this week is the very talented Nicole from WA, I love her bright creative style.
And I hope you have something to celebrate in your corner of the world this week.

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

    This is a fantastic keepsake for a Grad, Liz. Something they can hold onto and add photos in the future too. So clever! xx

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...

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
