Rain or Shine Specialty DSP

Leave a reply

This week I’m using the lovely Rain or Shine Specialty DSP. The specialty part is due to a glossy coating on some of the sheets – not this pattern though.

The Rain or Shine Specialty DSP was cut to 4 by 5 1/4 inches and added to an Old Olive card base. The sentiment is from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set and stamped in Old Olive. It was then cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies and added to the card with dimensionals.

To finish off the card, I used the Dark Old Olive blends to color a few basic rhinestones and added them.

I will be making this card, along with 2 others using this DSP at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern. When 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.

Simply Fabulous

Leave a reply

This week I’m using Simply Fabulous, a 24 piece photopolymer set (159133, $18). It really is fabulous – I’ve been really enjoying creating with this set. There’s so much to use. I kept the color palette as the last card but added Orchid Oasis and used another 4 stamps.

I love stamping up the side of a card so as to leave plenty of white space to keep it clean and simple. 

Here I used Parakeet Party for the two plant stamps, Sweet Sorbet for the flowers and Orchid Oasis for the little blossoms. Wink of Stella was applied to the little Orchid Oasis blossoms.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis and then cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies. The sentiment fits perfectly in the smallest rectangle die. It was then added to the card using dimensionals.

As a final touch, an iridescent basic rhinestone jewel was added to the centre of the flowers.

I’ll be making this card and two others also using Simply Fabulous on Sunday at my Facebook Live at 11am eastern. If you share my live, I’ll add you to the weekly raffle.

All Squared Away bundle

Leave a reply

This week’s product is the All Squared Away bundle (158382, $45) which consists of the All Squared stamp set and the Floral Squares dies. Here’s my third card using this bundle this week.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - All Squared Away bundle - All Squared stamp set - Floral Squares dies

First I cut out the square die in Evening Evergreen three times. Next the flowers were die cut in Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Fresh Freesia. Then using my paper snips, I cut the frames off after which the flowers were glued on. I thought it was a bit too matchy matchy and pruned one of the plants. This gave me just 5 flowers which is more pleasing to the eye than six.  After that I added the sentiment in Evening Evergreen.

Next I glued the flowers into place on the Very Vanilla card base and covered my imperfect snipping with a piece of Evening Evergreen open weave ribbon. It also grounded the flowers. The gems are basic rhinestones coloured with the dark Evening Evergreen blends pen.

I’ll be showing how I made this at my Live later on today at 11am EDT along with another 2 using this bundle.

I cut out the square die in Evening Evergreen and then cut out the flowers using Polished Pink. I glued the Polished Pink flowers over the base and attached it to a Very Vanilla card base. Then I stamped the sentiment (from the All Squared stamp set) in more Evening Evergreen and that was it. A very clean and simple card and I think, quite striking.

I’ll be showing how I made this at my Live on Sunday at 11am EDT along with another 2 using this bundle.

Better Places

Leave a reply

Last week I focused on the host set, Better Places but due to sickness didn’t get the second and third cards blogged. So I’ll post one of them today and one tomorrow.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Better Places

The Better Places host set really lends itself to clean and simple cards which you know are my favourite type. This stamp was colored with Stampin’ Write markers in Balmy Blue, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent. After huffing on the stamp to moisten the ink, it was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White. This was then matted in Evening Evergreen. Finally one of the sentiments was stamped directly onto the card base also in Evening Evergreen.

Check out my Facebook Live that I did on Sunday at 11am EDT or you can also see it on YouTube. Share my Live and I’ll add you to my raffle for next week.
