Beauty of Friendship

This week I’m using the Beauty of Friendship set and I can see that it’s going to be really fun.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Beauty of Friendship

The tree was stamped in Sahara Sand on a piece of watercolor paper. The foliage was stamped in Mossy Meadow and spritzed lightly with water before stamping.

It was then matted with Sahara Sand and glued to a Mossy Meadow card base. I contemplated a sentiment strip and also embellishments but it just seemed too much, so I left it clean and simple.

I’ll be making this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern. If you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle for a free embellishment plus a card.

Snowflake Specialty Vellum

Here’s the third card using the fun Snowflake Specialty Vellum.

First I cut a strip of theSnowflake Specialty vellum to 2 by 5 1/2 inches. Next I silver embossed the sentiment onto Rich Razzleberry and die cut it using the Frosted Flurry dies. Then I attached the sentiment strip to the front of the vellum. Turning this over, I added glue to where the sentiment strip was going to hide the glue. I also added a tiny bit behind the larger centre of the pattern.

Finally I added some Pastel Pearls.

I’ll be making this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live later today at 11am eastern. If you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle.

Snowflake Specialty Vellum

Here’s the second card using the fun Snowflake Specialty Vellum. This should’ve been posted yesterday but I’m still having computer issues. The HIT (Home IT) desk is on the case now that he’s no longer testing positive for Covid. It was really bad timing!

First I heat embossed the sentiments in silver three times on Balmy Blue and cut them out using the Frosted Flurry dies.  Then I glued them onto the Snowflake Specialty vellum. Next I added glue to the back of the vellum where the sentiment dies were positioned and added it to a Balmy Blue card base.

I’ll be making this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live tomorrow at 11am eastern. If you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle.

Snowflake Specialty Vellum

This is my first attempt at using vellum. I didn’t really like vellum until now! This is really fun.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Snowflake Specialty Vellum - Brightest Glow

I prepared all the pieces of the card first – the Starry Sky card base, 4 by 5 1/4 inch vellum and a piece of Starry Sky. The latter I used to heat emboss the sentiment from Brightest Glow in white. It was then cut down to 3 7/8 inches wide and about 1 1/2 inches tall – basically until the banner looked right.

Then I added the banner to where I wanted it on the vellum and turned it over adding glue to the vellum where the banner would go. Then I attached the vellum to the card base and placed the banner to hide the glue. The glue behind the banner is enough to hold it in place without the vellum flopping.

Finally I added a few solid faceted gems.

I’ll be making this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live tomorrow at 11am eastern. If you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle.

Splendid Day Specialty DSP

This week I’m using the Splendid Day Specialty DSP. Here’s one that isn’t quite as splendidly shiny (and therefore easier to photograph).

 

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Splendid Day Specialty DSP - Charming Sentiments - Labels Aglow dies

The piece of DSP was cut to 5 1/2 by 2 inches and put onto a fresh freesia card base.

Next, the sentiment from Charming Sentiments was stamped in Fresh Freesia and cut out with the Labels Aglo dies. It was added to the card base and then a few of the Pastel Pearls were added.

I made this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern. If you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle.
