#SU1to3paperchallenge - a great way to use up some gorgeous papers.



I recently saw an article on the Facebook Stampin' Up! page by Rhoda MacPherson who created 3 cards using lots of DSP.
Since I have loads of paper too I thought it was a great idea . Here's some of what she said:

I hope you’ll join in and try a paper challenge of your own. Just use one main stamp set, one basic layout, and three very different papers and see what you come up with! Why not share it with the hashtag #SU1to3paperchallenge so we can check it out and be inspired?

 So I took the layout from another recent challenge - TGIFC#150 and had some fun creating some different looks.
It would be very easy to do this using a flower set for the decor element but I deliberately chose a stamp that could be more widely used... and I love the lightbulbs!
I coloured each of the light bulbs using the alcohol blends which was fun, so the colours from the blends guided my paper choices. Some new and some old papers. You'll find the links to each product in the images below for more detail.

I will have another set of #SU3to1paperchallenge cards tomorrow for the CASEing the Catty bloghop.
Why not see what papers you have that are just asking to be made into a neat 3 for 1 challenge too.

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
