Time for a Card Again - fabulous puns with the Forever Friendship stampset, a few samples

I'm a big fan of puns - I come from a family that uses them all the time, so naturally I had to have this set to send to some of them.

I was also inspired by Jennifer Frost at the #Crafty Carrot Collective for their August month of masculine cards. Jen's sneak peak used this layout and the watercolour wash behind layered strips and sentiment. I have used some of the DSP and a few elements from the He's All That DSP. This Paper pack has 2 sheets of elements which you simply press out from the card to stick on your projects. The arrow, banner and stars are from these specialty sheets, so easy to use.

I stamped the cardigan in Garden Green and then gave it a light wash with water and my aquapainter but then once it was dry I re-stamped the cardigan in green again to give it more definition. The buttons are just coloured in with the Espresso marker.

while I had the set out I played with a few of the other images. The Typewriter is just so cute, and easy to use. I have paired it with some retired papers here

And for this version I wanted to emphasise the thanks but not so much the heart, so I adapted the type printed vellum as a page of text just for a bit of fun.

The Alphabest stamp and Best Label punch added some more detail to this fun card, and the tree rings EF created some texture behind.

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

cheers, 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...

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.
