Lillybet's Papers

Welcome to another week with CASEing the Catty as we seek inspiration from pages 8-13 of the new Occasions Catalogue. While I love the Cupcakes and Carousels paper, I am totally in love with the Birthday Blast and Star Blast Edgelits and I was inspired by the box on the bottom of page 11, but I have created a Card in a Box. I had to play around with dimensions a little to get the width for the edgelit, and created a long flat box ("landscape") rather than the conventional taller "Portrait"box.

Todays cards are quick and easy The fabulous Note Cards and Envelopes are such a great way to speed up your crafting, and they are so economical, I always have both White and Crumb Cake on hand. To create this card I did a quick watercolour wash for the background, stamped and punched the balloons and layered them up on dimensionals. The sentiments for inside are so fun, and of course you should never have a naked envelope! For the second card I simple masked off each section and stamped the images so they were only partial images in a single row of colour. This set will be available January 4 -...
