Lillybet's Papers

Hello again, here's another card I created in the lead up to CI#35 when I did quite a bit of experimenting, and struggled to make a card using only 3 colours. It's harder than you think! I used the same colour scheme and another new set - Sitting Pretty stamp set, and Pretty Park framelits. I confess the park bench was the main draw card in purchasing this set, but I love the embossing effect with the pavement.  The bulldog will appeal to many, and the sweet little bird and squirrel are very cute too. The other park bench is very ornate and I'm sure I will love it once I start using it. Gray Granite watercolours really well. I was surprised how easy it is to line up the leaves and the pot plant too. - Super effective. I think I'm going to take Jackie Noble's tip and cut my  sentiment so it's more user friendly for me.  Here's her photo of her stamp. You can see her post here - and she has used the other sweet park bench from this set I ...

I'm just going to love playing with this set. - the new Colorful Seasons set has matching framelits and they are so very lovely- I just had to share. The Seasonal Layers Framelits contain lots of lovely flowers and leaves and this gorgeous chair which I'm going to call a Squatter's Chair. I have teamed this new set with the existing "Sitting Here" for the sentiment and the little birdie. The new Powder Pink is soft and feminine - stronger than Pirouette Pink but not as dusky as Blushing Bride. I used the clear block stamping to create the watercolour backdrop on Shimmery White cardstock. The two step stamping from the set was very easy and the images line up beautifully. Not long now till you can order this set! This pretty card fits neatly I think into the challenge at Stampin' Up Only #173 this week -All that's Feminine. Thanks for looking and remember  "don't just post online, post something pretty" Liz...

You can find the full crew here Hi and welcome from  Krissy's blog  . This week we are all about CASEing the Ronald McDonald Charity set on the inside of the back cover.  Stamping' Up donates $3 to Ronald McDonald charities from each set purchased. Demonstrators also donate cards to the charity for residents to use. It's nice to know you can give back. I don't own the set, and I have never taken too much notice of the cards in that section but when I looked again I was presently surprised! Gotta love a catalogue that keeps on giving! I have made 2 sets of little 3x3 notecards inspired by their little card. How cute is that toothpick! In fact finding some was a tough job around here, luckily there were some in the picnic basket! So taking my lead from their card I looked through my sets to find a shape in some of the sets I already own that has a sentiment in the shape and is small enough. I found a few and settled on the bright and happy star from C...

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...
