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?

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!

Daisy Punch and the Daisy Delight stamp set

Leave a reply

Here’s a card featuring the daisy delight bundle and the daisy punch. These have been phenomenally successful so far, far outstripping Stampin’ Up!’s predictions. Apparently a punch sells about 7000 per year and this one, in a two week pre-order period where only demos could by (and only one each) was sold 7200 times! Although Stampin’ Up! had predicted that this would be popular, they hadn’t thought it would be THIS popular and the initial order of 10,000 punches has been sold. Clearly it takes time to make punches but another 6800 are due to arrive in a couple of weeks. So hang in there – soon you’ll be able to get your own punch. And when you do, here’s an idea for it.

It’s just a simple 3 by 3 inch piece of whisper white and I created a negative of the daisy with the Daisy Punch putting a 3 1/4 inch square of lemon lime twist behind it. I designed the card to show off the new in color as well as the punch. The sentiment is from the coordinating Daisy Delight stamp set and do you see the gold faceted gem? It’s impossible to do it credit in the photo; it’s just so sparkly, I love it. And of course, now I have some white daisies to play with!

This Little Piggy

Leave a reply

This Little Piggy is an adorable stamp set; truthfully I thought it was a little too cute for me, but when I came back with it from Onstage Live, I changed my mind.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - This Little Piggy - Oh My Stars TIEF

For this piggy, I used watercolor paper, an aquapainter and some rather unexpected watercolor pencils. For the piggy, since there’s no powder pink pencil, I actually used a light covering of calypso coral which creates a very piggy kind of pink when blended with a little water. I used the old olive pencil for the grass and a little early espresso for the hooves. I added a mat of old olive that was just 1/8 inch larger than the watercolor paper and also used a scrap of watercolor paper for the sentiment which is cut out using the smallest oval from the Stitched Shapes framelits dies. Since one end of it was on top of the mat and watercolor paper, I added a scrap of both to the other end of the sentiment so that it was flat – and as a bonus it looks a little raised on the right hand side.

I used the Oh My Stars TIEF on a piece of powder pink to make the background interesting, but not so interesting as to overpower the piggy. I hope you agree that This Little Piggy is adorable!

Naturally Eclectic

Leave a reply

Here’s Shannon West showing off the Naturally Eclectic suite. There are quite a lot of parts to this – obviously there’s a stamp set, (Oh, so eclectic) with matching thinlits dies. These are unusual though, they cut out shapes, cut out negative images and even dry emboss. There is of course some DSP (mine is on the way) and even card overlays. I have to confess that the ribbon isn’t me though – it’s crinkled seam binding ribbon. I can see that I’d be trying to iron it! But watch Shannon lead you through the bundle with a few samples. It’s fun.
