Lillybet's Papers

Well I was too late - actually too busy - to get my post ready for last week but I had made the little boxes for the markets so thought I would add them in to the mix anyway post production... There are some gorgeous projects in the CTC bloghop this week and I hope you have been able to get some inspiration. You can find the full list of design team members and links to their posts here . I think Julia is right, they add a fresh take on classic Christmas colours.   I have done these little boxes as cards in the past for Easter, ( You can see them here  ) but they are so effective I thought I would do some for Christmas - and I had quite a few which sold at the Biloela Art and Craft Fair recently.  Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of all of them before I went. They also look really effective hanging from a tree too. The Tiny Treat Boxes are such good value at $12.25 for 25. You need to make a little bridge from Kraft card - the same way a...

        I recently found this gorgeous card on Pinterest here and had to copy it. It was very inspiring. This is my version using some of the gorgeous Watercolour Wonder DSP which is available in the new Summer Mini Catalogue. I just love the blues and greens -and of course I love watercolour so it was fun to play with this.   My base card is Smoky slate 15 x 27c m scored at 4, 10 and 16 cm . The DSP layers are sponged on the edges with Island Indigo. I have used various sentiments and images from Yippee Skippee, Perfect Pennants, Best of Sale-a-Bration, & Petal Parade. I think the little bird is from Everything Eleanor. There are various shapes cut with the Big Shot using the  Pennant Die and Deco Labels Framelits.
