Lillybet's Papers

I am loving the images in the beautiful Season's Blessings Bundle, so it was a good colour combination to use with this set.  For this version I used the beautiful String Basket die, what a lovely effect. I decorated the inside with some leftover strips which are retired but match the colour theme- it's not often we have DSP which uses vanilla rather than white. I love to use ribbon but sometimes it's a bit bulky so I like to cut the new in colour woven ribbon in half and get the effect of using two strips of narrow trim. And another handy tip for these flowers uses the strawberry builder punch to create small flowers which I have stamped using the large flower stamp from this set. I love these.

My tips this week: I love vellum wrapped around- it's how I adhere vellum without worrying if any adhesive will show through,  simply use double sided adhesive tape along the edges at the back and fold the vellum strip firmly around the cardstock the twine looped behind the sentiment piece is super easy to apply - I just staple it in place since it will be hidden. This also has the advantage of not adding any height from a knot or bow which will interfere with your postage costs i...
