Just Add Text

I’m using another new set from the annual catalog today, Just Add Text which is a beautiful collection of six heartwarming sayings. I sort of didn’t intend to play with this one, but somehow I was watercoloring away before I knew it!

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Just Add Text - Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF

I started by inking up my image in versamark and then tranquil tide and after stamping it onto the watercolor paper, I sprinkled on clear embossing powder. I’d first tried it in black but it was a bit harsh, tranquil tide was perfect. I watercolored lightly with the aquapainter, being sure to get variety in the depth of the colors. When doing the leaves, I purposely didn’t colour them in order but coloured random leaves so that the variety in colour was spread out. For the flowers I used berry burst with a dot of lemon lime twist in the centre. The layering ovals framelits dies made it easy to cut this out as well as a berry burst scalloped mat. I continued the leaves theme by dry embossing a piece of tranquil tide with the layering leaves dynamic TIEF and after adding some of the half inch berry burst ribbon, popped up my sentiment on dimensionals.

It was impossible to get a really good shot of the glossy embossed sentiment – this one definitely looks better in real life!

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.

Sorry for Everything

Leave a reply

My brother came home a day or so ago with the news that my favourite project manager is leaving tomorrow. He’s one of the rare creatures who can run a project without masses of meetings – and those that he does hold usually finish early. So I wanted to make a card to wish him well. I’d just received the Sorry For Everything set and it seemed perfect for making a card for Pat.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Sorry for Everything - Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF - Layering Ovals Framelits Dies

I really liked the card I made recently with lemon lime twist and black and decided to go with that color way again. First I heat embossed the Sorry in black but I inked up the stamp in versamark and then basic black so that I have a good background of black before sprinkling on the embossing powder. I then cut it out with the largest oval from the layering ovals framelits dies. I then discovered that the largest scalloped die in this set is slightly smaller than the oval so that scuppered the plan for a little border. Instead, I decided to bring in some black with some of the Pick a Pattern washi tape. First I used the layering leaves dynamic TIEF on a piece of lemon lime twist which I cut half an inch smaller than the card base (don’t forget to spritz it with water first) and then matted it with a piece of basic black cut 1/8 inch larger. I put this onto a lemon lime twist card base and popped up the sentiment with loads of dimensionals. Inside the card I put another sentiment from the Sorry For Everything set – “to see you go”. I think this is going to be a really useful set.

Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF

Leave a reply

Here’s a card that’s unusual in that it showcases many products; and it’s not unusual in my inability to move away from the new incolors! The card base of this is fresh fig which I ran through the big shot in the Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF (Textured Impressions Embossing Folder) after lightly spritzing the card with water to get a deeper impression and to help the card fibers to emboss cleanly.

I love green and purple together and here we have old olive with the fresh fig. The DSP is another piece from my one sheet wonder challenge using a sheet of Delightful Daisy DSP and I matted it with a piece of old olive. The sentiments are from a bundle – Lovely Inside & Out bundle which consists of some great words and images plus the ability to cut out three great words. The cutouts are actually designed to create negative space behind them and to be enclosed in a shape (heart, circle, oval) but here I snipped out the word to use on its own. I actually have the word friend twice – under the fresh fig there’s a slightly offset gold foil friend just peeking out to add sparkle. And for a finishing touch, the beautiful fresh fig 1/8 inch sheer ribbon. I love this ribbon – I thought it was probably a little too thin to be used much but it seems to be on a lot of my cards and I’ve ordered another color of it!

Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF

Leave a reply

One of the products that I received last week in my big box was the Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF. I love it. It creates such awesome texture. There are things to know – spritz the card stock with water and run it through the big shot twice and you get fabulous texture. Here on a piece of lemon lime twist. Yes, the color that I was planning to use only for pops of color. I can still hear my sister giggling about that! She immediately loved the color and I decreed that it was too bright and I wouldn’t use it much. Apparently I should be more circumspect when talking to my sister – I told her three years ago that she was wrong about everyone being able to make cards and was convinced I wouldn’t be able to. Ahem.

I also used the This Little Piggy set and stamped this adorable pig on watercolor paper and used some powder pink ink (and more lemon lime twist) with an aquapainter to colour it in. A little powder pink flag to add a little interest whilst leaving most of the Layering Leaves Dynamic TIEF visible and I was done.
