Bamboo Beauty

This week I’m working with the Bamboo Beauty stamp set (155478, $21). It’s really good for clean and simple cards. In fact today I went really simple and added no sentiment. It just didn’t seem to need one and in fact, I thought that adding one would spoil the card.

First I stamped the two leafy stamps on Merry Merlot using Versamark and then heat embossed in gold. This was then matted with gold foil and placed on a Merry Merlot card base. And that’s it! Very simple and very effective. And if you need to add a sentiment I suggest a shape in Merry Merlot heat embossed in gold.

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

Bamboo Beauty

This week I’m working with the Bamboo Beauty stamp set (155478, $21). It’s really good for clean and simple cards. That also means fast – check out Wednesday’s.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Bamboo Beauty - Stitched so Sweetly Dies

First I selected a die which would fit the sentiment – it’s from the Stitched so Sweetly dies. Then I drew around the inside of the die with pencil in the middle of a Whisper White layer. Next I used Granny Apple Green ink and two stamps to create the border around the die cut line. Just be careful that the stalk ends of the stamps don’t pass the pencil line or they might show. There’s obviously no need to erase the pencil line. The sentiment was attached with dimensionals.

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.

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.

You’re a peach suite

This week I’m featuring the You’re a Peach suite and today I’m using the Sweet as a Peach stamp set and the Peach Dies. 

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - You're a peach suite - Sweet as a peach stamp set - Peach Dies - All Dressed up dies

Here I stamped the foliage upside down in Pear Pizzazz. Then added some of the flowers (3 on a single stamp) in Calypso Coral and matted the layer in Calypso Coral card stock. After stamping some more of the flowers, I cut them out using the Peach Dies and added a few to the card.

The sentiment, from the Sweet as a Peach set was stamped in Calypso Coral. I was happy to find that the sentiment fit nicely into a die from the All Dressed up dies. Elegant Faceted gems were added to the centre of each flower and then they were given glimmer using Wink of Stella.

Don’t forget that the You’re a peach DSP is one of the 9 regular packs of 12 by 12 inch designer series paper that are being sold at 15% off until August 2. So instead of $11.50 the packs are only $9.78. Check out the selection and buy a few packs and watch the savings mount up!

I’ll be demonstrating how to make this card plus 2 others on my live later at 11am EDT. Come and join me and share the live for a chance at winning a small prize. I also upload it to YouTube around noon if you prefer that format.

You’re a peach suite

This week I’m featuring the You’re a Peach suite and today I’m using the Sweet as a Peach stamp set and a small strip of the  DSP. I went a little off piste and am stamping apricots.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - You're a peach suite - You're a peach DSP - Sweet as a peach stamp set

Here there is a two inch strip of the reverse of one of the papers in the You’re a peach DSP pack. It was mounted onto a thick Whisper White card base and then stamped with 2 sentiments from Sweet as a Peach in Mango Melody. 

The apricots were stamped in Mango Melody, whilst the leaves stamped in Pear Pizzazz. The Whisper White layer was also matted with Pear Pizzazz. This was popped up with dimensionals. As a final touch, the apricots were anointed with Wink of Stella for some glimmer.
