Lillybet's Papers

 Stampin Up! always assembles such wonderful suites of coordinating products. The newest Suite - FRAMED FLORETS - about to be released on Nov 1 contains 2 fabulous Stamp sets,( One Floral and one Christmas),  a set of dies which includes some detailed and nesting OVAL dies and some floral dies which coordinate with both the stampset and the stunning 12 x 12 Patterned Paper ( DSP). As a Demonstrator we have the perk of being able to buy in advance and mine arrived just as I got home from holidays so I have had a little play - and I LOVE it. If you think you would like to get your hands on these gorgeous products as early as possible now is a great time to join my fabulous team of Demonstrators. The October joining special is the best way to order this and for only $169 you get to choose $283 of product - that's $114 free product. Plus the ongoing 20% discount on all items and the support of lots of like minded paper crafting enthusiasts. Let me know if that sounds good to you. YOu c

It's another round of colour Inkspiration and I am late to the party having been away on holidays for a much needed break. Challenge #131 uses a gorgeous colour palette of beautiful early tones and it was a pleasure to create with these. My card uses Artistically Inked stampset - a super easy set to use - with the addition of some Gold Foil and the wonderful Gold Shimmer Ribbon (156470 from the Jul - Dec Mini catalogue) tucked in behind. The ribbon is just two short pieces, about 2 inches each, folded in half and held in place with glue dots- a simple way to add a little bit of sparkle. I also added some Wink of Stella- my favourite tool - but it doesn't show up very well in these photos. There are lots of beautiful creations already on the Facebook page, be sure and check out all the samples there. You still have time to create and share with us. YOu'll love working with these colours. Picture credit  http://dogbikecarrier.com/dog-travel-carriers/ INKspired to join the ch

T o celebrate World Card Making Day, I am participating in Kathryn's Blog Hop of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from All Around the World to share a card that I have made today (or recently). Kathryn has also challenged us to post this card within a week to someone special, as we all love to receive a big paper hug in the mail. I couldn't agree more. I love the wildflower "Meadow Dies" and have had some fun cutting lots of wildflowers from various papers, and creating little montages with them, layered over an embossed panel. This uses the "Leaf Fall"   Embossing Folder. You can get endless variations of the flowers using patterned papers, and 3 stems is enough. I posted back in April with my tip on how to paint the wildflowers   They look great on both white or vanilla. I do love the kraft card stems in there too. this one uses the Hive and Eucalyptus Embossing Folders I have already posted a bunch of cards this week- my friendly Post Mistress - Treena -
