Lillybet's Papers

Hello again - back for some more Social Stamping with Kelly, and this week the theme is hearts. It's so nice to share this hobby and stamp with friends from all over the place. A buckle card is an easy fun fold that makes an interesting card. I shared some Honey Bee Samples here, where you will find the measurements and instructions link, but today I have an alternative version using the gorgeous Peaceful Poppies. I watercoloured a whole sheet of the fabulous Fluid 100 watercolour paper using Merry Merlot, Rococo Rose and Petal Pink. Then I heat embossed the poppies in white and cut out a whole sheet of flowers and hearts. Now I can create a stack of cards quite quickly. I hope you get lots of time to be creative too. Be sure and hop all the way around the group. Next this week is Peta I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz

It's a super easy but very effective.  The Belt is a strip which is anchored under the strip of DSP and shaped using the side of the Tailored Tag Punch. The slot is created using the Classic Label Punch. It was so much fun to make I created a second version and colour scheme. The fabulous DSP is free with a qualifying purchase until the end of March and the black and white lends itself to some very striking cards. I am entering these in the challenge at TGIF#252 You can colour the tassels using your Blender Pens to coordinate with everything, here I used Lovely Lipstick.   The inside ...
