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

    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.

    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

    I love the watercoloring Liz - it adds so much texture and individuality to each card, the whole collection together looks really lovely! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.

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.
