Lillybet's Papers

I have recently purchased the  Hello Doily  stamp after seeing it used by a customer for her wedding invitations. It was stunning. So I have been playing with embossing the image with the Pewter Embossing  Powder. It's beautiful . This card uses Regal Rose card stock as the base, embossed with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder in the big shot. The doily is heat embossed on Crumb Cake card stock. I didnt have any seam binding left so died some white taffeta ribbon with crumb cake ink and loosely gathered it onto a piece of sticky strip.  Hemp thread, a crystal button and some of the soft Flower Trim roses which have been sponged with Regal Rose were added. Lastly I stamped a butterfly from  Kindness Matters  and 2 leaves from  French Foliage  in Certainly Celery, which I hand cut out and mounted with dimensionals. Happy mothers day is   is stamped from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments set. I will miss the Regal Rose colour when it retires...

I have always loved tiled patterns and these 2 Z fold cards make the most of the gorgeous Print Poetry Designer Series Stack (#129312 on page 16 of the Summer Mini). The inspiration for these cards came a card I saw on Pinterest  (terrible time waster!, but oh so good). Barbara at  barbarascraftcircle.blogspot.com  has a tiled card in the Midnight Muse. Mine are similar but I have done a 4x4 version and stepped them up a bit with some added details. Any small punch would work just as well and I would love to try one with a heart punch and also one with circles.

Raspberry Ripple sponged onto individual flowers from the beautiful Flower Trim  (page 5 of the Summer catalogue). Tagtastic Sentiment, and large scallop embosslits (love it!) Butterfly punched twice for added definition, Tiny tags and jewellery tag punch - of course - attached with Vintage Trinket Scallop Rectangle Clearlits  (page 191 of Catalogue- what a bargain item) and Delicate Design Embossing folderTrimmed with Large Scallop Edgelit How did I make cards before the big shot??? This Paper is just so lovely and easy to use. I love all of them, but I am particularly taken with the Raspberry Ripple pages. The in colour ribbon is easy to use, and I love that you can sponge any colour onto the soft flower trim to highlight any card. The Summer mini offers so many possibilities.  Hope you can find some inspiration also. Contact me for any supplies . cheers, Liz

I Just love this Set. This also uses the Vintage Verses from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue. I did get some inspiration for this card from one I saw on Pinterest, (from the very talented Heather Klump at hlkdownstairsdesigns.blogspot.com ) but I have put my own vintage perspective on it, and of course the Tiny Tags which I love to add to almost everything.  I have used Glossy Accents on the Primrose Petals standout Mannequin which adds a nice dimension.The Crystal Buttons seem perfect too. The lovely new Flower Trim from the new Summer Mini Catalogue are perfect and very easy to work with. Hope you enjoy looking at this one, I certainly had fun making it. contact me if you would like to order any of these gorgeous products, thanks for looking , Liz
