Last of the Christmas Cards for JAI#390

Thankyou Narelle and the team at JAI for your inspiration sketch which popped up just at the right minute. I needed a layout for my last batch of Christmas cards (hopefully the last!!).
I love the one under /one over strips so that worked perfectly- I wanted to use this gorgeous Mint Macaron ribbon- even though it's a retired colour I still love it. And it also gave me a chance to use up some other retired ribbons and metallic cardstock I've had lying around. Cards are made and written and will be in the post on my way to work.



I'm also quite excited about my new business cards which I had printed to pop into my cards when I send them, Thanks to Lyssa Zwolanek at Song of My Heart Stampers for the inspiration for these.


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

  1. Such cute and pretty cards Liz! Your beautifully coloured tree inside the light bulb is super cute and your mix of patterned and sparkly paper accent your sentiment so perfectly. Thanks for sharing with us again at Just Add Ink.

  2. Oh you have been busy. I love your wonderful collection of ribbons and embellishments that make each card unique. It's great to see how changing the elements on each card makes them all different. Chantell Just Add Ink

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
