#useitup #2 with some Cute little Pandas for WWYS#154

Hi again, The challenge for What Will You Stamp this week uses the Party Pandas which is perfect because I had a few little guys cut out and Waiting Patiently for some attention on my desk top ( which is slowly getting clearer)
I also used up-  piece of leftover watercolour paper which I cut into a label and a square, another strip of watercolour shimmer paper, some silver leaves and 2 other silver shapes, an envelope liner and some mint striped ribbon , and a few more odd enamel shapes -  not bad for an odd set of bits and bobs.

One of the things I have been really happy with doing this #useitup process is that I make sure I finish each card as I go - including decorating the inside, stamping the Stampin Up logo "Better than Email" on the back, attaching my embossed Logo and decorating the envelope as I go. I always stamp the inside seniment onto a scrap piece of paper which is sealed in the cello bag with the card ready for sale. I never really comprehended how long this took until I had to spend a whole day tidying up and finishing off a stack of cards I had made. So if I can keep up with each batch of cards it makes market day so much easier.



And here's the other little guy made up. so sweet for any age but terrific for teenagers I think.

And here's the last one.

Those pandas really are too cute.



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.
