Silver & Gold Specialty Paper

This week I’m using the Saleabration $50 freebie of the Silver & Gold Specialty Paper. Here I’m showing the versatility of the paper. Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Silver & Gold Specialty Paper - Nature's Prints - Natural Print dies

I cut a 4 1/2 by 3 1/4 inch piece of the silver spotted DSP and matted it in silver foil. It was then added to an Evening Evergreen card base.

The sentiment is from Nature’s Prints and was heat embossed in silver. It was then cut out using the Natural Print dies and attached to the card with dimensionals.

I made this card along with 2 others on my Facebook Live this morning. I also uploaded it to YouTube.

Rings of Love DSP

This week’s product is the free Saleabration paper, Rings of Love. The paper is really pretty and very versatile. You won’t believe all of this week’s cards came from the same paper pack!

Using designer series paper makes for fast card making although I just like to show off the gorgeous patterns. This means not adding too much else to hide the paper.

This pattern of the Rings of Love DSP was matted in Night of Navy. Next the sentiment, from Happiness Abounds, was stamped in more Night of Navy. Finally the matted layer was added to a Mint Macaron card base.

I’ll be making this card plus two others at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern.  I’ll also upload the video to YouTube. If you share my live, I’ll add you to next week’s raffle.

Elephant Parade

The product of the week is the Elephant Parade set. I really like this little elephant so I gave him a balloon.

As before I stamped the elephant in Memento Tuxedo Black and added the balloon too. Then I coloured him in using Basic Grey, Pacific Point and Melon Mambo for the inside of his ears. Of course I used Wink of Stella to smooth out the lines and to add a little shimmer.

The focal point was matted in Pacific Point and added to a white card base. The sentiment, from the Elephant Parade set, was stamped in Pacific Point. After cutting it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, it was added to the card using dimensionals.

I previously created a baby girl card and wanted to create a card for a baby boy too. For this card, I just added a basic black mat.

As before, the elephant was stamped in Memento Tuxedo black on a piece of Whisper White. Next I grabbed some watercolor pencils, namely Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Melon Mambo and Pacific Point. Using Wink of Stella I smoothed out the pencil lines as well as adding a little shimmer.

This was then added to a Basic Black mat and then to a Balmy Blue card base. Finally the sentiment, from Elephant Parade, was stamped in Memento tuxedo black.

I made this card along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live yesterday. Check out the video on Facebook or YouTube. If you share my live, you’re added to next week’s raffle.

Awash in Beauty DSP

Here is the third card featuring the Awash in Beauty DSP – this time also featuring the Peaceful Moments set for the sentiment.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Awash in Beauty DSP - Peaceful Moments - Layering circle dies

This card requires a 2 by 5 1/2 inch piece of DSP plus a mat of 2 1/8 by 5 1/2. Here the mat is in Calypso Coral. Next the DSP was glued to the mat and then attached to a white card base.

The sentiment, from Peaceful Moments, was stamped in Calypso Coral and then cut out using the Layering Circles Dies. The matching scalloped die in that set was used to create the scalloped mat.

The circle was added to the mat and then placed onto the card base using dimensionals. Finally a few Polished Dots were added to the sentiment.

I made this card, along with 2 more, at my Facebook Live yesterday. You can watch the replay and if you share the video, I’ll add you to my raffle.

Celebrating In Color Alternative

I just noticed that I neglected to publish my third alternative for the Celebrating in Color paper pumpkin kit. So here it is.Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - May 22 Paper Pumpkin - Celebrating In Color Alternative

I lined up the stamp by hand since the stamparatus would have put them too far apart. I just concentrated on the left hand upright on the H to help with lining them up and of course it’s a photopolymer stamp.

I used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky and Night of Navy. Then I used blends to colour in a single letter in each color. Here is when I discovered that Gorgeous Grape doesn’t exist in blends so I used the dark Highland Heather as a substitute. After each letter was coloured I added Wink of Stella to give some sparkle.

I showed all 8 cards that I made with this kit at my Facebook Live at 11am Eastern on the 5th.  Share my live and get added to the raffle.
