Hello Friend using Inspire. Create. Share-and a few handy tips for Amazing You.

Hello Beautiful Friend- using the beautiful colour combination from Inspire, Create, Share (and the layout which I've used from Caseing the Catty for #164 from page 17 of the catalogue).


What a lovely colour combination.

Playing with colour sometimes takes me back to childhood. I still remember being so excited the first time I learnt that mixing primary colours gave you a whole new world of variations. The colour wheel had me fascinated. I still love the surprise of what will happen when you mix different amounts of colour. In this case yellow and blue = green...... and it turns out to be very similar to Cucumber Crush using Bermuda Bay.
A few handy tips using this set:
  • I cut the leaves from the flower (a bit tricky but worth it). So now I can stamp the leaves and flower in different colours
  • I inked the leaf section in Daffodil and then added Bermuda Bay using a sponge dauber to only the main leaf stem
  • I inked the sunray in Daffodil and added Bermuda Bay using the sponge dauber to just the edges and stamped this image repeatedly in a row.



It's an easel card so the left over strip was perfect for creating the inside base place holder.


thanks for looking today, let me know if you have any questions about how to do this.

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.
