Sneak Peak #2 " Blessings of Home" - coming January 202

It was recently the Onstage Stampin' Up! 2 day virtual event- how I miss the energy of gathering together - but it is always good to connect and share ideas and learn. It is 15 years since Stampin Up started in the South Pacific so we all had a little candle to light. I got to do some stamping with a friend and we celebrated together.

As part of the event we were able to pre purchase a new set which will be coming in January. It is called "Blessings of Home" and has coordinating dies and DSP and ribbon and bling! The dies cut out not only the outline of the 2 floral images but there are several detailed dies which cut smaller floral sprays - so cute.

We used the suite during the event to create 3 cards along with everyone else, but I had such a great time colouring the images that I made (quite) a few extra cards. In this version I have used one pattern of the DSP which is from the suite. I stamped in Cinnamon Cider onto Shimmery white Cardstock and coloured the leaves with Garden Green. I then used just the Wink of Stella and some Garden Green ink to paint the outline of the floral spray. 



I was also honoured to be recognised for 2 awards as part of the annual recognition. A big thankyou to all my team. It is great to work together and share the enthusiasm. 


Here are the 3 cards we made together.




I'll have some more samples to share with you this week, pop back and check what other samples I created using this gorgeous set. If you would like to own it before January you can purchase it when you join my team!


Happy 15th Birthday in the South Pacific to SU!

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...
