Social Stamping blog hop using RAINBOWS

Hello again, we are stamping this week using rainbows as our theme. I've noticed chalk rainbows on the fences around my neighbourhood since Kelly suggested this and they make me smile as I drive past. I remember my kids doing lots of fence/ pavement/ trampoline chalk art too. Such a potent symbol of hope and rebirth. Thankyou to Kelly for suggesting this theme, it's a lovely way to share hope around our community this week. I hope you are feeling some positive vibes too.
 I have a simple floral arrangement on my watercolour background this week, with some machine stitching and some shimmery white embossing paste.


I decorated my card with some leftover felt flowers and elements from the amazing "For the Love of Felt" kit. These are truly stunning and make any card look fabulous.  My cards use almost all the rainbow colours in a watercolour wash background. blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and I added purple using cardstock sprigs in the floral arrangement.

Lovely Lipstick
Blueberry Bushel
Call Me Clover
Pineapple Punch
Grapefruit Grove
These beautiful In Colours are only available until June. They are strong and vibrant but also look fabulous with the dilution of watercolouring. They are just happy colours. Be sure to add them to your supplies. 
There are plenty of card kits in the Annual Catalogue. In these times of isolation they are the perfect activity for some togetherness and connection. Maybe now is the time to introduce stamping to some of your friends or family who haven't had time to do much craft in the past.You can purchase any of these by clicking on the images in the supply list below, or just drop me a line and I can help you.


I have a pastel version also which I will post tomorrow.

Next this week is the amazing Nikki Spencer, I always love her projects.


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.
