Busy Bees Buckle Card in Metric. tgifc#252

Today I created a Buckle Card inspired by Julie Davison of Julie's Stampin Spot.
She has created a very cute nautical card in imperial measurements and I'll attach the link to her great video tutorial, but I wanted to create one for our Australian Metric Measurements. My variation has an embellishment (the beehive) sitting over/hiding the buckle insert slot. It's a super easy but very effective. 
The Belt is a strip which is anchored under the strip of DSP and shaped using the side of the Tailored Tag Punch. The slot is created using the Classic Label Punch.
It was so much fun to make I created a second version and colour scheme. The fabulous DSP is free with a qualifying purchase until the end of March and the black and white lends itself to some very striking cards. I am entering these in the challenge at TGIF#252


You can colour the tassels using your Blender Pens to coordinate with everything, here I used Lovely Lipstick. 
 The inside stamping is bright and cheery - such lovely sentiments in this set.
 Here's the measurements.

Cardstock Base              10.5cm x 25.8 cm   score at 11cm
Cardstock Buckle          5cm x 13.5              score at 3.5

Whisper White Sentiment panels
  • Buckle sentiment : scrap of W. White
  • Inside Whisper White     10cm x 10cm

DSP front                        10cm x 10.5cm
DSP inside strip              10 cm x 4cm
DSP on buckle (optional) 4.5cm x 7cm


Here's Julie's instructions.

I'll have another sample to share soon using a completely different stampset.

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...

500 challenges at CASEing the Catty ' - how fantastic to be involved

What an honour to be invited back to join with the Caseing the Catty team for their 500th challenge! Thankyou Bec for thinking of me. I started with the CTC crew way back at the beginning and I still go to the catalogue as a ready reference for creative ideas. The earliest post I can find is 2014 - CTC#3! 10 years of crafting along, that's pretty amazing. For this challenge it was completely open to choose any project to  CASE from either the annual or the Christmas mini catalogue. There are lots of projects in there that spark a creative journey for me and I did have a hard time choosing. In the end I opted for something simple since none of us have much free time at this hectic time of year. To make things a tad more difficult I have covid so feeling pretty low on energy. Lucky that crafting is a relaxing pastime and I can sit at my craft desk without be scolded too much by my loving DH that I need to be resting! For my projects I have created a Christmas Card and a matching Gift...
