White on White and soft pastels for JAI

At last I have met a few deadlines with various projects/work/family commitments and have finally found a little bit of time for creating again- feels good!!!


So I took some inspiration from Just Add Ink #456 this week. I do love white on white and have a few projects I need to create so this was a good starting point. I also used the sketch from CASe this Sketch #321, and some retiring punches  which haven't seen as much use as I would have predicted.

Soft Sea Foam is such a beautiful I think and I wanted to keep it to only one other colour so it worked well for the background and for the leaves.
I simply watercoloured a scrap to punched out the leaves. I was going to use the flower centres too but decided on pearls instead. I have so many gorgeous embellishments that I end up hoarding them so this used quite a few!!
Here's how to make the daisies.





I also used a new set Parcels and Petals  for the sentiment and the inside, and I love the soft look it gives. The floral border reminds me of the Art Deco feel and I just spent some time in Napier so maybe that influenced my purchase! - looking forward to playing with this more.
I'll have a few more samples using these punches in the  next few days so be sure and follow me by email to see them when those pages get posted.
These cute little punches are only available while stocks last until June 3 so if you would like your own set click the "Shop Now" button to get your own set.

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.
