Lillybet's Papers

Well..... 2023 was...... a big year  and here it is 2024 already.   I've had a little de-tox from social media and cardmaking but thought now would be a good time to jump back in and share in this colour challenge. This is one of the four or five cards I created for Colour INKspiration challenges but never got around to photographing and sharing in 2023....   Definitely not a Christmas card , but the colour palette is so light and soft and lovely. picture credit  https://akailochiclife.com/218/11/diy-snow-dotted-cone-trees.html My card uses one of the new sets in the January Mini - Painted Lavender  -it is an image only set with no sentiments. I love it. We'll be using this in my February class. I used the Baby Wipe Technique and loaded Bubble Bath and Flirty Flamingo inks onto a babywipe and used that as my inkpad for the floral sprays.  I did add some more sparkle after I took the photo. The inside shows the beauty of the floral stem While this ...

As I said- once you have a Babywipe palette you can stamp a large number of images. These are few more of the thankyou cards in this series. No Wattle in this group of cards, just greenery. You can see the wattle cards using this set and this technique published yesterday. A little touch of colour and interest on the inside as well - and of course NEVER a naked envelope. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Forever Fern Bundle (English) [ 154094 ] $94.50 Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set (English) [ 152559 ] $42.00 Flowers Of Friendship Cling Stamp Set [ 155358 ] $37.00 Jar Punch [ 152703 ] $31.00 Shimmery White A4 Card Stock [ 121717 ] $17.50 Sahara Sand A4 Card Stock [ 121695 ] $15.25 Bumblebee A4 Cardstock [ 153082 ] $15.25 Bumblebee Classic Stampin' Pad [ 153116 ] $13.00...

I have been asked to create some cards with a rural Australian theme which is quite challenging given the limited number of Stampin' Up! products which fit this criteria. However I have had a good play with some of the images from Forever Fern stampset, and created a few cards with a bunch of wattle in a jar. I had lots of fun creating these. The wattle is stamped in Bumble Bee, and the bobbly spray is also cut from this Cardstock. To get the variegation in the leaves I used the Baby Wipe Technique and a range of green inks to create the stamp pad. One of these jars is copper, and the other is watercolour paper which I have painted with an aqua painter to look like green glass. The forever Fern Stamp set is such a great versatile set, and while I had the baby wipe palette out I stamped a whole bunch of leaves. The woodgrain paper is now retired but it was the perfect background for my wattle bunches. I thought these images looked like eucalyptus leaves hanging from the gum tree, so...

Welcome back, This is a long post so grab a cuppa and enjoy! I have all sorts of goodies to share. Although it's perilously close to Christmas and I'm behind the timeline for making all those things I had planned - I have been having fun playing with some of the gorgeous new products coming up in the new catalogue available January 3. I needed a few (Non Christmas) gifts sorted so thought I would showcase them all in one place. I am focusing on the Sweet Soiree stamp set which I picked as a prize at the end of Onstage. The coordinating Sweet Soiree DSP is gorgeous with silver foiling on most pages. The colour palette is quite broad too. The DSP is slightly heavier than ordinary cardstock so it's perfect for making boxes, bags and party favours. By making all these projects in the one colour palette I have saved a little time.
