Lovely You Bundle

This week I’m focusing on the Lovely You bundle (154070, $42.25) which consists of the Lovely You 18 piece stamp set and the Lovely Labels Pick a punch. I also incorporated some of the beautiful Fine Art Floral DSP with this card.

The DSP was cut out and matted with Terracotta Tile and then layered onto a Whisper White card base. The sentiment was stamped, also in Terracotta Tile on a one inch deep piece of Whisper White. Next it was time for the punch! There are two different ends which can be punched in 3 different widths which makes it really versatile. This was then popped up using Stampin’ dimensionals. The Lovely You stamp set has some really good – and unusual – sentiments in a really beautiful typeface.

High Tide

Here’s my third card using the set High Tide (143006, $26) which I’ll be demonstrating later on my Facebook Live at 11am.

To make the background I pressed an E block into the mango melody ink pad and then used the take your pick tool to add little swirls of melon mambo ink. Next I spritzed the block with water and then pressed it onto a piece of watercolor paper and left it to dry.

I’ve made this background before using the exact same colours – I think it makes a fabulous night sky at sunset. Last time I left some of the white edges showing (check out the Ridiculously Awesome post a few weeks ago) but this time I trimmed it down and added a basic black mat. Next I stamped the sentiment and the image in memento tuxedo black. To complete the card I mounted it on a thick whisper white card base and added a bow made with the black glittered organdy ribbon.

I’ll be demonstrating this week’s 3 cards using the High Tide set on my facebook live on Sunday at 11am.

High Tide

So continuing my focus on the images in the set High Tide (143006, $26), I’ve used the stamp set more traditionally.

I started with the sand, stamped appropriately in Sahara Sand and two step stamped the lighthouse in the same color plus real red. The sentiment is also from High Tide and stamped in real red. This whisper white layer was matted I some real red and then adhered to a thick whisper white card base.

I’ll be demonstrating 3 cards using the High Tide set this week on my facebook live on Sunday at 11am.

Today’s Tiles

This week I’m featuring the Today’s Tiles photopolymer 8 piece stamp set (152528, $21). 

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Today's Tiles - Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies

It’s a 2 step stamp and I wanted to cover most of the card with the stamping and so used the stamparatus for its ability to do hinge stamping.  The image was stamped in Real Red and embossed in gold and then then layered onto a mat of Red Red and adhered to a Whisper White card base. The sentiment was also from Today’s Tiles, stamped in Real Red and then die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies. A little knot in the Real Red double stitched satin ribbon glued on with a glue dot finished the card.

I’ll be this card and two others on my Facebook Live on Sunday  at 11am EST. Come and join me and learn how to hinge stamp with your stamparatus.

Ridiculously Awesome

Last week, I was showcasing a really fun and encouraging set, Ridiculously Awesome (152512, $22) which was inspired by Ronda Wade and created by Sara’s husband Sean Douglass. I forgot that I hadn’t actually published this yesterday so here it is now.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Ridiculously Awesome

To make the background I pressed an E block into the mango melody ink pad and then used the take your pick tool to add little swirls of melon mambo ink. Next I spritzed the block with water and then pressed it onto a piece of watercolor paper and left it to dry.

Once it was dry, I heat embossed the title sentiment from Ridiculously Awesome using gold powder. This was then mounted on a mango melody card base and finished off with some gold glimmer enamel dots.
