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.

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

Rolled paper roses Frames

Two new Frames for the Handmade Expo Markets this weekend. These are hand rolled vanilla paper roses, with newsprint DSP in the red version.

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
