#onstage2018 Needlepoint Nook samples #2

Here's a few more samples from my Needlepoint Nook Product Spotlight Display Stamping. 
A mix of simple and more layered cards including 2 masculine cards.
I always try and use every set for both Male and Female cards- it can be a challenge!! but it's a good way to look at your set with fresh eyes.

The lighting wasn't great over the boards at the venue but here they are all laid out together. I'll write them all up over the next few days, today is the Olive section!!


I thought the wooden frames looked like an embroidery hoop so this is simply placed over some DSP. I stamped the Sahara Sand background in versamark with the Burlap stamp for the fabric effect.
For this Old Olive version I clear embossed the Burlap stamp as the background to give the impression of flowers embroidered on fabric. I love how you can see the stitches in the flowers, and I used the thumping technique with markers to get the multitone leaves behind. I love the multicoloured bouquet, and the inside is decorated with more elements too.

The plain navy and olive graphic pages in the DSP pack are perfect for masculine cards. This one uses the little leaf image for some random repeat stamping and the diecut leaf image as well as 2 simple corrugated embossed strips. The olive thread is used for a tassel rather than a bow. I love that the font is versatile for both masculine and feminine cards.
This next masculine sample also uses the leaf diecut- and by using the Mutipurpose Adhesive Sheets you can also use the little punched out leaf shapes over some simple sponging. I used the straight line stitching elements to create some geometric embossing on the foil and that little accent is just enough. I love that the label punch also fits many of the sentiments from the set.


I'll have the boxes written up for tomorrow with links to the instructions. Be sure to have registered for the email updates using the "follow me by email" feature on the left side panel of this page.


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

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...

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...
