Love of Leaves bundle

Leave a reply

The Love of Leaves bundle consists of the Love of Leaves stamp set and the Stitched Leaves dies (155195, $47.50). As I mentioned earlier, the die cuts leave the stitched detail on what you’ve cut out of. Obviously, I needed to use that piece too.

This time I used Very Vanilla as my card base and top layer.  First I die cut the leaf out of the top layer. You could just layer it on top of the mango melody layer but I decided to use sponge daubers and give more texture. Next was the sentiment which is from the Love of Leaves set and stamped in Mango Melody.

This is a very simple card to make but I think it’s quite effective. When die cutting this card, I realised that I haven’t yet played with the embossing parts of the die set. I definitely need to do that!

I’ll be showcasing the three cards from this week on my Facebook Live at 11am EST today. No Facebook? I upload the video to YouTube as well.

The Love of Leaves bundle consists of the Love of Leaves stamp set and the Stitched Leaves dies (155195, $47.50) and this card uses both.

The leaf is stamped in mango melody and then I used sponge daubers and cherry cobbler and daffodil delight to add some more texture. This was then cut out with the Stitched Leaves dies. Next I embossed a piece of whisper white with the subtles folder and matted it in mango melody. This was then layered onto a thick whisper white card base.

As before, I added some of the snowflake splendor ribbon, this time, just a little strip. Incorporating it with the leaf meant that it was easy to glue it to the back of the leaf. Next a sprinkling of rhinestones and then a sentiment, cut out with the Stitched Rectangle dies and popped up with dimensionals.

I’ll be demonstrating 3 cards using the Love of Leaves bundle at my usual Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST – please join me or watch the replay.

Here I used the stamparatus to do some hinge stamping with one of the leaves and shaded spruce. I then stamped it out again and cut it using the Stitched Leaves dies. This is when I discovered that the stitching is actually on the piece of cardstock that remains after you’ve done the die cutting. What fun!

I added a piece of snowflake splendor ribbon to the die cut tree and popped it up with dimensionals and added it on top of the one that was already stamped.

The sentiment is from the Love of Leaves set which was stamped in shaded spruce and cut out with the stitched shapes framelits dies.

Here’s another two cards using the Feels Like Frost DSP and neither of them are for Christmas.  

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Feels Like Frost DSP - Peaceful Moments - Blossoms in Bloom - Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies

This is a very unusual card for me since I really don’t like grey, but here I have to admit that it works really well. I’ll tell myself that the card base is silver rather than Smoky Slate and we’ll be okay. Right? I matted the DSP with whisper white and added that to the silver coloured card base leaving a wide border of the card base showing. I like the balance. The sentiment comes from Peaceful Moments which was cut out with the Stitched Shapes framelits dies and then popped up with dimensionals.

This is the same layout as above but it has a different feel due to the colors. The previous card felt warm, this one is a bit cool. I layered the piece of DSP onto a Night of Navy mat and then onto a thick whisper white card base. Next I stamped the sentiment from Blossoms in Bloom in Night of Navy, cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and popped it up with dimensionals.

I’ll be doing my usual Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST and will demonstrate a number of cards using the Feels Like Frost DSP. I’m hoping to show you that it’s not just for Winter and Christmas.

I’m continuing with Christmas cards because I accidentally made another one. The Feels Like Frost DSP is so beautiful, it almost make Christmas cards for you! 

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Feels Like Frost DSP - Stitched so Sweetly dies - Joyful Holly

I matted the DSP with night of navy and then mounted it on a thick whisper white card base. The sentiment comes from Joyful Holly and is stamped in night of navy. Finally it was cut out with the Stitched so Sweetly dies and popped up with dimensionals.

Next I decided to show that the Feels Like Frost DSP can also make non-Christmas cards.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Feels Like Frost DSP - Stitched so Sweetly dies - Joyful Holly - Peaceful Moments - Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies

I layered the piece of DSP onto a Highland Heather card base. Next I stamped the sentiment from Peaceful Moments in Gorgeous Grape and cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies. 

I did think about adding embellishments but I don’t think this paper needs it.

I’ll be doing my usual Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST and will demonstrate a number of cards using this DSP.
