Lillybet's Papers

With all the excitement of the new catalogue I always have a little tinge of sadness as some of our favourites retire to make room for the New. There are so many sets retiring that I couldn't choose just one. My card this week uses lots of threes. Three of the retiring colours - Emerald Envy, Sweet Sugarplum and Dapper Denim. One of the new greens has the same intensity as Emerald but I'm really really sad about Dapper Denim.  Three badges: using the Badges and Banners set- I really love this punch as a background for focal points and sentiments, I will miss this fabulous tool. And the third "Three" is the 3 pansies stamped with Flower Shop and punched using the Pansy Punch. From framed 3D art to countless cards I have really loved this punch.  I won't be selling this pair in the near future. Here's a few of my favourite projects using this punch.

It's sometimes not easy to come up with masculine cards but at class last weekend we focused on Father's Day and embossing paste techniques. These are 2 of the cards we made on Saturday. The Foil Frenzy  kraft DSP is sp bright and fun. I've also used images from one of my current faves- Bookcase Builder ( If you follow me you will have seen other Father's Day cards here). I've also used the Badges and Banners set whcih is one of those sets which I have used way more than I would have predicted - love a matching punch and stamp. Sneak Peak also of the fabulous leaf image and matching punch from the coming Sunflower Set. This is my colour Palette. Sahara Sand Soft Suede Pool Party Lemon Lime Twist I've also used words and sentiments from Guy Greetings and Teeny Tiny Sentiments. Thanks for looking, and remember "don't just post online, post something pretty!" Liz Bookcase Builder Photopoly...

Hello and welcome back for another week of inspiration from the Catalogue. This week we are using pages 102-111. Have you ever seen a set in the catalogue that was a "Must Have" item which you find hard to use once you have it in your hands?? The Bookcase Builder set was one of those for me. But I am happy that thanks to CTC now that I have had it out I am much more comfortable with it. I challenged myself to CASE the card on page 105 and see what I could come up with. I even managed to get some Father's Day cards done as well. It is quite a versatile set once you get going with it. I love that you can stamp the images individually or put them all on a block to stamp backgrounds in a hurry. I sold all my baby girl cards at last week's markets so need a few to replenish my stash. But I couldn't make a girl card and not mirror it with a boy card. This image from page 105 shows you both the inspiration card and the fabulous images in the stamp ...
