Lillybet's Papers

As you know I love a Fancy Fold - who doesn't? And I love the Bendi card which is quite fun to make. We made these at a class recently using the beautiful  Countryside Inn DSP. The Blue and White papers are really versatile and easy to mix and match. I love the font in the Layering Leaves stampset , it adds a touch of elegance to any card, and there are sentiments for every occasion. The sweet little birthday cake is from the Circle Sayings Stampset  which comes bundled with the 2 3/8" circle punch which makes life really easy. I have detailed instructions on how to put these cards together from another post on 17 February 2023.  For a bit of added sparkle and some textural interest I painted the cupcake with Shimmery White Embossing Paste I hope you'll give this fancy fold a try, it's a lot of fun. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz

I don't have too many blends so I coloured each one using my Blender Pen and each ink.  It wasn't hard to fussy cut each one. I do find that sometimes images fade a little when coloured this way so to preserve the colour I covered each one completely with Versamark and Clear embossing powder.  this also gives each cake lots of gloss. A simple touch of Bubble Bath ink sponged onto the background and a few pastel sequins and I'm done. The sentiment comes from the Welcome Home set and is very simple so as not to take away from the cakes. I hope you've been enjoying the other fabulous c...
