Lillybet's Papers

Hello and welcome back to me! I've been away for 2 weeks on holiday and had a great time, but now I'm back and I have to say I did miss my craft desk a little.  This week's card use the fabulous new DSP which is on offer in the second release of Sale A Bration products. It's white and thick and glossy with a foil print and is perfect for colouring. I have used the inspiration pictures from page 3 of the little brochure and coloured two panels of the card. The first is with Dapper Denim, and some fussy cut elements as well as vellum leaves. The second uses blushing bride and Flirty Flamingo in an ombre look and the labels panel of woodgrain stamped using the beautiful Heartfelt Blooms. The copper dots in this card really stand out against the pink, and the Celebrate is Sponged also and raised up on a few layers of Early Espresso, coated with Tin- Tip glue for a glossy highlight. next this week is Mel and before me is Ange...

Welcome back for another week CASEing the amazing pages of the Sale A Bration Brochure. I'm away on holidays next week so wanted to make sure I wouldn't miss too many episodes- and besides it's a great reason to excuse myself form the dishes and get crafting!  The Celebrate YOu Thinlits are beautiful- and best of all they WILL be continuing in the next catalogue. The stampset which matches will not be continuing however so make sure to order yours if you love it as much as I do.

Instead I cut one word from Sahara Sand and using paper as a mask I sponged it lightly with a dauber using increasing intensity of Berry Burst Ink. To make the word stand out a little I cut a second word from Copper and adhered the 2 slight...

Welcome back for the Sunday night treat - CASEing the kits section from the catalogue. There are several just gorgeous kits in this catalogue - and so stunning when completed. The best thing about the Lots of Happy Card Kit is that you can purchase the refill kits. Recently for our Stamping Retreat we included one full 1/4 of a refill kit in everyone's goodie bag. They received everything they needed to make one of each of the beautiful card you see in this week's inspiration pic. However, I decided instead this week to CASE the layout of one of the cards on the bottom of page 17. I love the  background stamping using some text,  a little feature element  a coloured card base some matching sponging behind the element to tie the colours together and a sentiment stamped over the background I did get a bit carried away in the end..... not unusual.....and ended up with lots of backgrounds.  So I made them all up. My goal this weekend is to use up all the ...
