Lillybet's Papers

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ) This is oner of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. If you have followed me in the past you know I love a fancy fold design - and particularly I have enjoyed creating the Double Front Card.  I have used this gorgeous suite to create another one.  A card within a card gives you lots of scope for showing off the DSP and for some additional stamping. It's also a great way to use up leftover embellishments. But mostly it's just FUN.   My base layer strip of DSP is wider in this sample than in some of the previous ones, but that's the beauty of this design - you can tailor it to suit your supplies. I have used the beautiful new Fine Shimmer 12 x 12 Paper Pack for the Fresh Freesia and the Soft Succulent tags, It is such a versatile product, you're going to love it. Ca...

As I often say - It's just as easy to make 2 cards as it is to make one. So while I had all the ink and paper out on the desk I created a second design. You can see the first card published on Aug 17.  Folded flat it looks like an ordinary card. The front of the card hides an identical sized panel behind with some alternative stamping. It's also a great way to show off some cooordinating DSP.  for link to instructions see  Fancy Folds tab or here Such a fun fold, I'd love it if you share your creation with me. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Splendid Thoughts Bundle (English) [ 159677 ] $90.75 Nature's Prints Bundle (English) [ 158801 ] $98.00 Blending Brushes [ 153611 ] $21.75 Water Painters [ 151298 ] $23.00 Sahara Sand A4 Card Stock [ 121695 ] $16.25 Sahara Sand Classic Stampin...

The Double Front card is one of my favourite Fancy Folds and I like to create it each time there's a new catalogue out to showcase different papers, colours and Stamps.  You can find the instructions under the Fancy Folds tab at the top of this page under the blog header. I have plenty of other samples on the blog in this design. This one was created using some of my favourite colours - Coastal Cabana and Sahara Sand, and some of the beautiful Pretty Prints DSP  I'll have photos of the alternative version later this week.  The DSP from Splendid thoughts is really lovely with all the metallic pages. You'll find other samples and a link to the instructions here  - or just search the blog using " Double Front Card"f Do have a go at creating this lovely card style, it's a lovely way to use the DSP and create a card with a little surprise inside. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, L...
