Bamboo Beauty

This week I’m working with the Bamboo Beauty stamp set (155478, $21). It’s really good for clean and simple cards. 

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Bamboo Beauty - Layering Circles Framelits Dies

I put both stamps on one block and stamped the bamboo in Evening Evergreen and then matted with in the same. This was then layered on a Whisper White card base. I then went searching for a shape that would suit the sentiment and found the Layering Circle dies. Perfect!

As I said, this really lends itself to #SimpleStamping and can be made quickly if the need arises. Friday’s card using the Bamboo Beauty set is a little more time consuming but not much. 

I’ll be showing how to make this card and two others using Bamboo Beauty on Sunday on my live at 11am EDT. Share my video and be put in the raffle for a little prize.

Beauty of the Earth DSP

I’ve been drooling over the new patterned papers from Stampin’ Up!’s new annual catalog and decided to feature the Beauty of the Earth DSP this week. I started with a very simple card.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Beauty of the Earth DSP

I cut a piece of the Beauty of the Earth DSP down to 3 3/4 by 5 inches to allow room for a tiny Merry Merlot mat. This was then added to a Whisper White card base – yes I still have some thick Whisper White left! The sentiment comes from the Beauty of Friendship, part of the suite that the Beauty of the Earth DSP belongs to. It was stamped in Merry Merlot and I was delighted to find that this die fit it perfectly – it’s from the All Dressed up dies.

The retirement of the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies forced me to look for other options and now I’m glad about it. I wasn’t at the time since I used them so much, but it’s much better to have to find other options.

I’ll be showing this card and 2 others on Sunday at my normal 11am EDT Facebook live so do join me.

Love of Leaves bundle

Continuing on with using the Stitched Leaves dies part of the Love of Leaves bundle along with some of the new in colors.

I used a number of the embossing dies on both Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen and then die cut them using the Stitched Leaves dies. I love the embossing on the leaves. They were then arranged on a white card base. 

The sentiment, from the Love of Leaves set, is stamped on more Soft Succulent in Evening Evergreen and cut out with the Painted Labels dies. It was popped up with dimensionals and a Evening Evergreen bow was added. The finishing touch were some Evening Evergreen in-color jewels .

Art Gallery Bundle

Here’s the second card showcasing the Art Gallery Bundle this week. The bundle consists of the Art Gallery Stamp set and Floral Art dies (buy together and save 10%; 156227 $50.25) and coordinates with the Fine Art Floral DSP (154558, $11.50).

 As on Wednesday, I chose a piece of the Fine Art Floral DSP and this time matted it in Pretty Peacock although that color isn’t mentioned in the list of colors in the DSP. More Pretty Peacock was used to stamp the sentiment onto the paper.

Next the Fine Floral Dies were used to die cut the words in Pool Party which were adhered with the multifunctional glue.  This was then glued to a Pool Party card base. The finishing touch was a few of the Elegant Faceted Gems (152464, $7.50 for 90 gems) my latest favourite. 

Don’t forget that my BOGO starts this Friday. Here’s the link to join the Facebook group: http://www.myelegantcards.com/upcoming-bogo/

High Tide

This week I’m focusing on the images in the set High Tide (143006, $26). It’s a photopolymer 16 stamp set with images and sentiments. I’ve used some of the sentiments, but not the images.  So here goes!

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - High Tide - In the Pines - Stitched Rectangle Dies

The images were stamped in pool party and early espresso with the birds getting a coating of clear wink of Stella so that they look almost wet. Rectangle Stitched Dies were used to cut out the image and then a pool party mat was added. The sentiment, which comes from In The Pines was stamped on a thick whisper white card base in pool party.

I’ll be making another couple of cards using the High Tide set this week, which I’ll make in my facebook live on Sunday at 11am.
