Colour Theory Paint Chip Cards and Super Sweet Pretty Label gift bags.


Today I would love to show you some more of the cards and samples I had at my Catalogue Launch.
I am really grateful to the many creative and generous people out there who share their projects so freely. (Yes I am a self confessed Pinterest Stalker!!)
I'd like to thank Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek from Song of My Heart Stamper for her gorgeous Paint Swatch cards which inspired me to make this collection. I think it's the turned over last piece with the paint crackle that makes it so appealing.
The Colorful Seasons stamp set is super easy to use to create so many different looks, and the Label Me Pretty bundle has a whole variety of looks and styles too which I have tried to demonstrate here.






 The little bags are super cute and very easy to create.
You need a square of DSP 6 x 6

  •  score along one side at 1"
  • rotate and score to the one inch line at 13/4", 23/4", 41/2" and 51/2" all the way to the end
  • cut along the score lines to the 1" line to create the base flaps, cut the corner tab away
  • adhere the long edges together to form a tube
  • glue the flaps together to form the base
  • squeeze the tops together to form the bag, and hold closed with a peg/binder clip/library clip
I saw these first created by Crafty Caroline Creates and she has a link to a video on her website, they were so cute I had to have a go myself. And after my catalogue launch one of my team ceated a whole set for her daughter's birthday party this week.How cute are these! I know Katherine's daughter and her friends are going to love them/

If you would like more details about any of the projects I am happy to share. The products I have used are all itemised below and if you click on any of the images you will get more detail about each of them
Thanks for looking today, and remember

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
