Lillybet's Papers

Who doesn't love a colour challenge? At Colour INKspiration we are celebrating our 3rd Birthday hop with a new idea- we each chose our 3 favourite colours! That was a huge challenge itself. Once I saw everyone else's creations and colour palettes I started to get "colour envy" thinking oh those are some of my favourites, why didn't I choose those?  So I challenged myself to recreate a card using someone else's palette, and this week it is Bronwyn! I didn't recreate it exactly, but I used the original card as inspiration.- I CASE'd myself!  and this is Bronwyn't colour combo This was my card for the birthday bloghop  and this is the stepped down version we made at classes-  so this is the version I CASE'd and one more alternative version. They are such pretty colours together. Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you can join in the colour fun at our Facebook page - use YOUR 3 favourite colours or grab one o...

It was lovely to get back to classes last weekend- always good to create with others, away from the busyness of life. The morning class used the Peaceful Poppies suite.  Their kit included DSP which was packaged up in a converted Manilla Folder, and we had biscuits packaged up in Poppy theme too. Name tags double as kit ID We had fun playing with the poppies elements and a little bit of watercolouring the poppies using an aquapainter. Everyone received half a pack of the amazing Peaceful Poppies Elements which are super easy to use. As always I do samples showing other ideas on ways to use the items we are using in today's class. Here's a few more samples using the elements. I'll post the afternoon class photos separately.  I think everyone had fun - I know I did. If you would like to order any of these amazing products now is a great time to get your hands on them.  You can get free products with your o...

Layering with Kindness stampset. We will be using this lovely set in class this weekend so I just thought I'd share a few more samples of what you can make with it.   You can see my CI#70 3rd Birthday Blog hop sample here . I found a great sample tucked away on page 64 of the January to June Mini Catalogue and had to CASE it!  The catalogue has so many great images to get you going when you aren't sure where to start- especially when it's a new set and there aren't any Pinterest samples out there yet! I've used Mint Macaron , Flirty Flamingo, Vanilla  and a touch of navy.The white seam binding ribbon is super soft and I coloured it with my stampin pad and some water- that's what caught my eye initially in the Catalogue. I added the little pink detail behind the label for a bit more zing. The label is white heat embossed onto Mint and then sponged with more Mint to add a bit more depth of colour. Don't you just love that leaf image.   S...

Happy World Card Making Day! I held a technique class and a Christmas Stamp-a-Stack so I'm happy to say I've seen lots of cards created today. And this is one of the designs we made today. Christmas is such a beautiful time of year and it brings images all about Sparkle!...  and that's what this week's hop is focusing on.  Welcome to another week CASEing the Catty.  The gorgeous new Year of Cheer paper is just lovely and it was the paper itself that inspired me this week. I just wanted something very simple to let the paper stand out- and also because at this time of year when time is getting more precious Christmas cards need to be fast to produce so you can create a large number. There are 3 sheets each of 4 designs in the pack, but I have only used 2 of the designs for these cards. There is gold, silver and copper foil printing on the papers which have a white base. It is easy to sponge or stamp over the white background and I have simp...
