Showcasing a set of cards using a Sentiment Only Stampset

I love DSP, all the beautiful patterns that are available make it hard to choose where to start when creating cards.  So choose a Sentiment set and let the paper be the hero of the card.

At a recent class all participants received the Sunny Sentiments stamp set and so I created a few sets to display how versatile it can be.

It's a great set because it covers Birthday, Hello, thinking of you, and thankyou . We all love receiving some handmade thoughts in the post and this is a wonderful set to share that joy.


In the class we created a box like this one which holds 4 cards and envelopes and fits perfectly into Stampin' Up!'s cello bags
This set uses the gorgeous In Symmetry paper and I used the Basic Borders edgelits dies to cut a fancy border from the DSP and then added the sentiments, 4 cards, 4 different sentiments. The little flowers are punched using the fabulous strawberry punch.



Here's 2 of the cards with an angled border on the DSP


Here's the box and two cards with layered offset zig zag borders for a bit of fun 

I'll have another set to share soon using the brilliant potplants suite, including measurements for the box. You can find that post here.

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

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

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...
