Awesomely Artistic first play fun

Well my much awaited stamp set arrived and I have had only limited time to play as I have a cardmaking fundraiser on this weekend raising money for the Western Qld Drought Appeal. the theme for the CASEing the CATTY blog hop is Birthday, but I didn't quite CASE any of the Catalogue Birthday prompts but I need a card for a special friend next week. Make sure you hop on over and check out all their birthday inspiration.
I just love this set and played with watercolouring and layering using Rose Red, Wild Wasabi,Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake, and used up a few bits and pieces lying on my desk.
I can see lots of potential for this lovely set. Here are the two creations.



I used Awesomely Artistic , Happy Birthday Everyone, and Build a Birthday
And the second option



and in this one I added the sentiment from another new set All Boxed Up.

So many lovely things to play with !
I wish Stampin Up! would bring back the shimmer paint! worked really well on the dragonfly.

Happy Stamping, Liz

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
