Lillybet's Papers

Welcome back for another week of great inspiration projects from the Catalogue. This week we are CASEing the Shine On section of the Occasions Catalogue form pages 30 -33. Welcome from Julia's blog,what lovely tags she has created. It's not a big section and at first glance it appears to not have too many options for CASEing. There are quite a few items in this section that I would love to own, but being realistic and trying to purchase sensibly they kept slipping down the priority list. One item that I definitely did purchase was the Shine On DSP. It is simply gorgeous and the photos don't really do it justice.  You need to hold this beauty in your hands to appreciate how gorgeous and shiny it is. I have made quite a few projects using it and they have all been very striking. The colours against the kraft are very strong, but the silver is absolutely beautiful. There are lots of great cards in this kit. Can you see the black card on the bottom row with th...

Can you believe it? I'm a guest designer??, and what gorgeous colours to play with. Thanks so much to Bronwyn for all her inspiration. I think this lovely combo is perfect for a mother's day card. I love watercolouring on Shimmery White cardstock, it gives such lovely fluid backgrounds. And of course you can stamp on them too, here I used the timeless textures while it was wet. And Gold simply has to be heat embossed, so once I had the gold butterfly it was easy to colour with a blender pen and Soft Sky ink. The gold glimmer washing tape from the sale-a-bration specials makes it so easy. The little flower is from the Rose Garden thinlits and was cut from shimmery white cardstock too. There's a little watercolour panel behind it but it needed some glitter to bring it to life! If you click on the colour tree logo image above it will take you to the challenge page and you can link up your creation, and check out some others. Look forward to seeing what you cr...

Hello again. I have a collection of cards and paper creations here using the gorgeous Cups and Kettle Framelits and various techniques. I love the spiral die rolled flowers and was looking for a new way to display them when the Afternoon Tea Tree was born. The roses are created from Very Vanilla and the gorgeous rose leaves are from the new Rose Wonder Thinlits . I used an old teapot made for me by a friend and the fine shape of the teapot matches the fineness of the twigs from my garden. I did use lots of hot glue to assemble the tree. The teapots and teacups are tied on using Linen Thread or Whisper White Bakers Twine , and I made a series of Teabags from the Pretty Petals paper stack to match. I was inspired by the colour scheme from the Pretty Petals paper pack and I love the Shine On DSP. The Watermelon Wonder on the Kraft card tones well with the Calypso Coral from the DSP, and you can never say no to the sparkle of silver(!) so it was great to use some ...
