What's cookin'? Kitchen scene #3 Burleigh Inspired

I love the What's Cookin'? bundle and it is one of the sets on sale for March at 20% discount along with the Mini Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.

I have made lots of kitchen scenes with this great set and this one is inspired by the Blue and White China in my kitchen.  ( none of it is authentic Burleigh China but that's ok!) 

I wanted to have a blue and white patterned china bowl and was surprised how well the bowl stamped onto some Boho Indigo floral paper. ( This is retired but the principal would work on any small print DSP). I stamped it in Misty Moonlight and heat embossed the bowl with clear powder to add a bit of shine to the bowl. I tried this on a few of the different papers but the blue on blue stamping worked the best. I also used a retired set - Seasoned with Kindness for the potted herbs on the bench, and the little jug is from Welcoming Window. ( this is another bundle which is on sale and is compatible with the Mini Machine ) 

This is an easel card so it stands up for display but folds flat to fit in an envelope. You can see more Easel card samples if you follow the Fancy Folds tab at the top of the page.
This is not a card for any particular occasion -that's one of the lovely things about handmade cards- you can send someone a little paper hug any time. In my experience it is the unexpected evidence in the letter box that someone was thinking of you that is the most uplifting. When was the last time you posted a cheery hello?

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
