Lillybet's Papers

In an effort to use up bits and pieces (of which I always seem to have a ton) I put together this card using some remnants from a shaving cream marbling class that I held a while ago. The stamped leaves are from Thoughtful Branches and were lying on my desk, and the cork remnant is from a very old Sale a Bration bundle. The card base is Dapper Denim and it is one of the few new products used here!!!  the other is the copper foil for the sihouette leaf (also thoughtful branches), and the enamel dots. My trademark handmade matching envelope is Wild Wasabi froma retired pack of DSP, and he corrugated White card is also retired. so I think I have done quite well using up quite a collection of old bits. the sketch from  FMS worked well for this. thanks for looking,  Liz

Just a quick post to show you another of the cards we made at the class on the weekend. We played with some shaving cream marbling - a fun technique I haven't really used much. It made some gorgeous background papers for the frosting on the cupcakes. I am surprised at how much I am able to do with this set as I play with it more - in fact I only realised the other day that it has a flower shape incorporated in the punch! The simple fold card is an adaptation of Julie Davison's design which has been around for ages. I modified the measurements for Australia to be 10.5 wide  - so you get 2 cards from one A4 piece of cardstock. (Australian width is only 81/4 not 81/2). I don't trim the length until after I have scored and folded - and then only shave  off enough from the large flap for it to fold flat. I score at 7.4cm and 18.5 cm ( there are some odd measurements on the metric scoring plate but they are useful). The panels for both the front and inside flaps are then ...
