Love you to pieces

Leave a reply

I pulled out the unused Love you to pieces and the Puzzle Pieces dies, the latter of which seems to have sold out. Be careful that you don’t wait too long to shop the clearance rack and last-chance category – things are selling out. I don’t know why it took me so long to use this.

I used very vanilla for the puzzle and put it back together on call me clover cardstock. I used one of the great sentiments and stamped in call me clover ink then cut it out using my favourite – and thankfully not retiring! – stitched shapes framelits dies.

Then – and this is a first for me, I’m certain, I added 3 gilded gems PLUS an heart epoxy droplet PLUS a bow. For me, that is certainly dripping with embellishments!

Inspiring Iris part 2

Leave a reply

I was going to use the chrysanthemum stamps today but then I noticed an adorable tulip and changed my plans.

I used garden green and poppy parade and carefully inked up the appropriate part of the stamp  so that the tulip was red and the stem was green. I repeated it three times and cut it out using the Stitched Shapes dies. Before popping it up, I placed it on the card to help position the sentiment. If I’d popped it up and tried to stamp half over the popped up bit, it wouldn’t have worked very well.

As I said on my Facebook Live this morning, I think this set is a sleeper. I had it for months before inking it up and I really love it. Here’s a link to my Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/MyElegantCards/videos/231395538171654/

Inspiring Iris

Leave a reply

This week I’m inking up Inspiring Iris for the first time. Why did I wait so long? It’s beautiful and a lot of fun with which to create.

Inspiring Iris

It’s one of Stampin’ Up!’s distinktive stamps – look at the detail on the irises. I look like an artist but actually, the rich razzleberry part is just one stamp! I used old olive for the leaves and outline (2 stamps) and crushed curry for a hint of yellow. And since Beautiful You was out on my desk after Sunday’s Facebook Live (also on YouTube at My Elegant Cards with Liz Bailey – please subscribe), I selected that for my sentiment. One of my work colleagues is a DJ in her spare time and loves to dance. So this one’s for Anusha; I’m enjoying sending cards to my colleagues at the moment to try to give them a smile.

More alternatives for No Matter the Weather

Leave a reply

I pulled out some notecards – and using some ink was able to make an alternative card with ease.

The flowered boots are really fun – my tip is to stamp the flowered part first and then add the outline. There’s only just enough room on a notecard for 3 sets, so start at the edge. I used daffodil delight, mango melody and poppy parade with memento black stamped off once. The plants are stamped in old olive. I used the triple banner punch to make an inch wide banner which I popped up using dimensionals.

If you’d like to see a video of me making this, I do FaceBook Lives on my page My Elegant Cards on Sundays at 11am. I then upload it to my YouTube channel – My Elegant Cards with Liz Bailey
