My Second Favourite 6 from 2016

Continuation looking back over the last year so I can rework some favourites with new stamps for 2017.

Continuing on trend in 2016 has been the watercolour addition to cards which I have always loved. I love my old and new Stampin' Up! stamps and made several Baby cards for the markets using retired SU products and current colours


The current In Colours are my favourite set and I was lucky enough to have them to play with for creating display samples for Onstage in May. - more Watercolouring!



I do love 3D items and constructing paper things so I was really happy with my Afternoon Tea Tree using the  Cuppa and Kettle Thinlits (so sad they are retired) and making my own little teabags ( and yes they had scented tealeaves in them!

My latest favourite 3d item is the Hot Air Balloons using the Up and Away Thinlits, which are coming with the New Occasions Catalogue in only 2 days time on Jan 4!!! Getting Excited for new things!
This gorgeous mobile was for beautiful baby Bella- a little treasure. It's really hard to capture in a photograph but lots of fun to make.

And then of course there's more favourite in Christmas crafting !! I absolutely loved creating the String Jars Decor for the Handmade Expo Markets and the matching Christmas Cards.


Now the next thing is to get busy making new things!!
thanks for sharing this journey with me.

Come back tomorrow to check out some new products!

Rolled paper roses Frames

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
