Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF

Leave a reply

One of the products that I received last week in my big box was the Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF. I love it. It creates such awesome texture. There are things to know – spritz the card stock with water and run it through the big shot twice and you get fabulous texture. Here on a piece of lemon lime twist. Yes, the color that I was planning to use only for pops of color. I can still hear my sister giggling about that! She immediately loved the color and I decreed that it was too bright and I wouldn’t use it much. Apparently I should be more circumspect when talking to my sister – I told her three years ago that she was wrong about everyone being able to make cards and was convinced I wouldn’t be able to. Ahem.

I also used the This Little Piggy set and stamped this adorable pig on watercolor paper and used some powder pink ink (and more lemon lime twist) with an aquapainter to colour it in. A little powder pink flag to add a little interest whilst leaving most of the Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF visible and I was done.

More Than Chocolate

Leave a reply

I’ve been having a fun day playing with some of the product that arrived a few days ago – as you saw, it was a large box! And I was having so much fun, that I forgot to write a blog post until now! So here’s one I made this morning using the More Than Chocolate stamp set. A reminder of my box…

The mini dimensionals are awesome – they are perfect for putting on the paper pierce tool and just nudging under the edge of a already popped up sentiment to give a little more sturdiness. And I love the fresh fig 1/8 inch sheer ribbon that you can see in the box. As you can see from the card that I’m sharing.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - More Than Chocolate

I used fresh fig for the chocolate box and the sentiment – and it’s a great sentiment. And so true! And then I decided to go for monochromatic chocolates – just stamped in early espresso and left the decorative swirls on the top for another time. I really like how clean this makes it and it meant that I could add a bow in the new fresh fig ribbon without the card being overpowered. This is a really fun set – I just started adding chocolates at random, filling in the spaces as I went. My first play had the chocolates too regimented, I much prefer this irregular look.

I matted the very vanilla with a piece of early espresso just 1/8 inch large so there’s teeny tiny border which mimics the thickness of the chocolate box and left a wide border showing of the fresh fig card base.

Birthday Friends Framelits Dies

Leave a reply

Here’s an unusual set of dies, the Birthday Friends Framelits Dies. They actually cut out images from the coordinating designer series paper – how cool is that?

There’s also a coordinating stamp set of course and we played with the entire suite at Onstage Live in Amsterdam. Here’s the sample that Mikaela Titheridge had designed for us using all three parts of the bundle. Because unusually, you can get the paper, stamp set and framelits in one bundle saving over 10% on the price.

The happy fox and the banner were both cut out of the paper using the Birthday Friends Framelits Dies and we did a little stamping in the background. There’s more of the paper behind the banner – I think the stripey paper is my favourite in this set of designer series papers. It’s SO bright and cheerful.

Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper

Leave a reply

Yesterday I showcased two parts of the Delightful Daisy suite – the punch and the stamp set. Today I’m sharing the third major part, the designer series paper, which is also called Delightful Daisy. It is absolutely gorgeous and I’m currently working on a one sheet wonder with one of the pages which I’ll be sharing soon. Today’s card showcases this very watercolored looking piece. Don’t you love it?

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

I decided to simply mount this beautiful paper onto a calypso coral card base and use a fairly small sentiment so as not to cover up too much of the paper. This is one of my favourite thank you sentiments from Bunch of Blossoms – I love the mixture of typefaces. And I also love how using the stitched shapes framelits dies gives it a border with the stitching and negates the need for a mat to border it.

My rather large Stampin’ Up! order arrives tomorrow. I can’t wait!
