Happy Birthday to You Watercolour cards, Sale A Bration set

I am always a fan of watercolour and this gorgeous new Birthday Cake stamp is fun to paint. I have used an aquapainter and took the colours from the beautiful DSP from the Best Dressed suite.  The images were heat embossed with white for the painting guidelines.

Stampin' Up! make so many brilliant embellishments and I think the candles are the perfect size for this size cake. Even more amazing is that there are now Coordination products available for a lot of the SAB and Mini Catalogue products including thinlits which will cut both the cake image and the floral elements of this image.  Yay! I've ordered mine and look forward to using them.

I also used one of the silver mini library clips to add the birthday greeting which is from the retired Teeny Tiny Sentiments as I just wanted something small on the front. I also added a little bit of silver foil and painted the cake stand with my old Silver Wink of Stella over the basic grey.


I fussy cut one of the cakes and softened the DSP with some vellum so the paper and the image weren't competing. A little bit champagne foil and some rose metallic thread gives a touch of sparkle.





Demonstrators are able to order the coordination products now, they will be available to customers from Feb 4th. If you would like to be part of the early purchase you can join now and be part of my team.- contact me for more details or click the "join Now" rainbow swirl button on the right side of this page.

That's all from me for today, but I have been creating lots of samples using the New Mini Catalogue and the SAB products. I will have some more Sale a Bration projects to share soon.

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.
