Lillybet's Papers

Well as the year has closed and I am stuck for some inspiration for where to get started with some new products I am looking back at some of my favourite and my most popular post from 2016. And I am totally grateful! By far the best thing about 2016 was getting to know my local demo friends better and spending more time creating as a group. The May CQ Craft Expo and Onstage on the Gold Coast really kicked off some great ideas and we have had much more fun times together this year. Secondly, being part of the CASEing the Catty team has really been amazing. I have learnt so much from this group of wonderful stampers, and I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to meet most of them at Onstage in November in Brisbane.It was wonderful to meet and share with so many other creative people. I have enjoyed selling my creations at the Handmade Expo Markets in Rockhampton, and further afield. I am always honoured when I am asked to make a Birthday or Wedding or Baby or Anniversary card for ...

Hello again and welcome to the Sunday night hop where we are CASEing anything from the SALE-a-bration Catalogues. You may have come from Helen's blog  and her beautiful project.  I have chosen to CASE the card top left on the back page of the supplementary SAB brochure which has 3 new awesome products available until Mar 31. The little Pedal Pusher set is super cute and very easy to colour, and it can be yours FREE with any purchase over $90. I made the card for the CTC#68, but I was already playing with these colours because of Bronwyn's fabulous The Colour Tree Challenge#7 which you can see   here .

If you follow me you may have noticed that I try and make a point each week of creating my chosen layout with both a new and an old stamp set- just to show how versatile an inspiration point can be. So this week I used the same layout (which is dead ...

Hello again, the Colour combination at The Colour Tree had me struggling at first, but once I started playing with the colours I really enjoyed using them. I have always loved the Turquoise but I was daunted by the Gold. That's the beauty of Challenges - they get you thinking! I'm also linking up with the CAS(E) this sketch#160.   The gift bag (top, right) inspiration from the SAB catalogue. In the end it's essentially a monochrome card with some Gold highlights - a few gold sequins and the fabulous Gold Washi tape on the peg. (though they don't show up very well in the photo) The Washi is from the Sale-a-Bration specials on at the moment, as is the gorgeous Pedal Pusher Stamp. Such a cute image and very easy to colour.  I used both a blender pen and the aqua painter. I don't make a lot of bags but was inspired to try the one at the back page of the Sale-A-Bration brochure. the Catalogue has such a lot of inspirational projects. You should c...
