Using up some gorgeous DSP for some thankyou cards #Loveit Chopit.

I received a gorgeous Thankyou card a while ago by the very talented Angela Meiritz-Reid in New Zealand. ( fromt eh CASEing the CAtty Design Team).

I loved the layout she used to show off this stunning sheet of DSP from the Sweet Soiree set which is retiring soon.
I needed a stack of thankyou cards so I have gratefully CASED Angela. I had quite a few partial kits in my stash and have used up some of those tags for the sentiments as well as current and retired ribbon and finished off some spools of embroidery thread. A very satisfying stash of cards all round.

I do try to use up retiring paper - but if you looked at my boxes you would not say I was successful at it!
The feature panel is 31/2" x 51/4"
The behind panel is 3 3/4" x 51/2"
or whatever size panels you can create from your pieces.

I used Calypso Coral for these bases, and some random pieces of coordinating DSP for the base.



The DSP is so pretty that I used the remaining strips to finish off the other cards on Very Vanilla bases


12 cards from one sheet of DSP seemed like a pretty good effort. I will miss this paper but I know there will be something else lovely to take its place.

 post something pretty!"

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
