Tree Rings birthday card

Leave a reply

A recent order had the background stamp, Tree Rings in it and I decided to make something that didn’t use anything from the Daisy suite for a change!

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Tree Rings - Happy Birthday Thinlits dies

I stamped the Tree Rings in early espresso onto very vanilla after stamping off once which gave a nice sepia look. I added a early espresso border and intended to use a pear pizzazz card base and the same color for my die cut. Except my father was making pasta and that meant that my big shot station was dismantled for 20 minutes – I craft in the kitchen! So I picked up the two cutouts I already had of the Happy Birthday thinlits dies (with the awesome multipurpose adhesive sheets already applied) – fresh fig and lemon lime twist and I was really happy with how fresh fig went with the combo. Lemon lime twist, not so much! So a quick change and a card designed somewhat by accident. And I must say that I absolutely ADORE the multipurpose adhesive sheets, they are so easy to use. The multipurpose glue with the sponge dauber on the silicone craft sheet works pretty well, but this was simple and I can’t see me using the sponge dauber method again. Unless I’m out of the adhesive sheets that is.

Delightful Daisy DSP

Leave a reply

I absolutely love this particular pattern in the Delightful Daisy DSP pack. It’s so happy! And now that the daisy punch is back in stock – although already marked as low inventory – I wanted to share this card. It’s easy, highlights a few of my new favorites from the catalog, and fun.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Delightful Daisy DSP - Daisy Punch - Bunch of Blossoms

This is a 3 by 5 1/2 inch piece of the designer series paper with a night of navy mat which I then put onto the thick whisper white card base. The sentiment is from one of my favourite sets for sentiments, bunch of blossoms and I cut it out with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch. This is then popped up on top of two daisies which I punched out with the daisy punch.

Easy, quick and effective. What more could you ask for?!

Merry Mistletoe

Leave a reply

A few of my friends have mentioned wanting to start making Christmas cards so I’ve started creating so that I can have a class next month. Christmas in July? Why not! Here’s one of the new sets in the annual catalog – Merry Mistletoe along with the new Be Merry designer series paper.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Merry Mistletoe - Be Merry DSP

It’s a very simple card – a whisper white card base with a piece of the new Be Merry designer series paper on top. I then heat embossed the fun deer in gold onto more whisper white and gave it a gold foil border. Easy and really elegant. My sister who is visiting has told me that she’ll be upset if she doesn’t get this one for Christmas. I feel a challenge to come up with one she’ll like even more!

Anyway, I hope that you like it too.  Please use the Stampin’ Rewards code to get five FREE handmade cards; the current Stampin’ Rewards code is NJ99GP9Q (if your order is over $150, don’t use the code, you get the rewards, but you still get the free cards).

And apologies for the delay in posting; I had some rather surprising and unexpected medical news which necessitated a wedge biopsy of my lung. This occurred on Saturday and although I had set up some posts in advance, I wasn’t up to photographing and sitting at my computer even though I had cards prepared. So normal posting should reoccur now that my incision is healing nicely. If you want to get updates about my condition, a friend of mine with my sister have set up a website, https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/lizbailey
