Lillybet's Papers

I have had lots of fun creating a card to send to a distant friend - the verse I like says- "I wish that I could be with you and share a cup of tea, but since I can't do that right now please have this one on Me", so you can include a teabag. I have used up lots of old bits and pieces and some new items- the Very vintage Designer Buttons are new, and so is the Island Indigo 3/4" Chevron Ribbon. But the ribbon was too wide for this project so I cut it in half and then sealed the edges with a flame. Tricky but successful! Existing items include the Perfect Pennant Bigz L Die, the Honeycomb Embossing Folder, The Delicate Designs EF,  and the Adhesive Lace Tape .  The retired items include the polka dot  In colour Brads,  and the Tea for Two DSP.

I needed a special birthday card for a special friend who is also a demonstrator and whose favourite colours are Pool Party and Pink. So it seemed like the perfect opportunity to make one of those designs that are on my  "must do One Day" list ( a very long list!) My thanks go to Anna at Annas Art  for her great blog and pictures. Annasart Card with magic Window  I was able to follow the pictures quite easily and she has a few other samples to look at also. I used Pool Party, Primrose Petals and Whisper White cardstock , and the papers and a few embellishments from the Afternoon Daydream Simply Scrappin Kit which has also been on my list of must use items. It wasn't difficult to make but did use a lot of cardstock. There is minimal stamping but you could certainly add more, and the Scrappin' Kit embellishments were so easy to use I will definitely be doing more of these. I used the Window Frame Collection Framelits to cut out the central window and then ...
