Time to start thinking about Christmas cards and presents.  I bought the Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle from the mini catalogue  August-December 2020..  Such a timeless set and can be used for cards in the southern and northern hemisphere.   It has a mix of all my favorite colours in this suite, in particular the Copper and Pretty Peacock caught my eye. Whisper white card stock size: 21cm x 11.5cm folded in half Pretty Peacock card stock size 10cm x 11cm. Using copper cardstock I embossed with the "Greenery Embossing Folder" (from the Forever Greenery) suite and ..read more

I am a little bit rusty on blogging and video's as I had to step back from being a Stampin' Up demonstrator a couple of years ago.  I have rejoined and enjoying all the beautiful products again that are available and loving getting inkie fingers and crafty again. The first thing I ordered was the Forever Greenery Suite.  Such a variety of coordinating products and lots of possibilities. Lots of elements in this suite can be used with other products in the catalogue. I stated with making this simple very classic card.  This could be adapted to be a wedding card, engagement card ..read more

#the100dayproject May and June where the most awful months for me with sickenss and losing someone dear.  I don't know if you are like me, but I simply cannot craft and create when I am so sad.  When I start to recover I feel my smile come back in my craft and this card is my reflection of that.  I wanted to make a simple clean card which can be used for any occasion or just a note card.  This was not a card I entered into a bloghop, but I did decide to shared on my blog and facebook purely for inspiration. Thank you for stopping by ...... and it is so true when the ..read more

#the100day project This was the first chance I have had to have a play with this beautiful embossing folder.  It gives an amazing deep impression into the card which gave me the idea of heat embossing.  I used the Versamark on  positive image, and heat embossed in gold embossing powder and it came out beautifully, so I thought I would see how it would turn out on the  negative image and I absolutely loved it even more! The products I used are listed below: Shimmery White cardstock: 121717 Metallic-Edge Ribbon: 144313 Gold Embossing Powder: 109129 Versamark: 103383 Em ..read more

#SDBH Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. This month's theme is Annual Catalogue Sneak Peak. You are currently visiting Waterlilypapercraft from Australia. I hope you enjoy my card. My card is featuring the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum which has 24 sheets 6" x6" with such a variety of printed vellum sheets from soft lines, flowers and birds to symmetrical lines and bold patterns.  The sheets can be coloured using the blender pens to give off a vibrant colour to bring out the patterns and then cut to any shape. I focused on squares with this design.  I col ..read more

This little box was inspired by a project I made from approximately 3 years ago when I started crafting using SU products, which was published by Pootles Papercraft.  I have changed the measurements slightly as I am using the new DSP instead of cardstock which will make two of these little boxes/bags which are ideal for putting a little gift inside etc.. chocolates, lip balms etc.. I can easily get in three Lindt chocolates in my ones today. I have taken some photo's of my prototype with the measurements which you can see below. Using 12 x 12 DSP, you will need to cut to the D ..read more

#the100dayproject This was such a therapeutic card to do, but it would also be also fun  to do together with children or grandchildren. I used the Mandala pattern from the decorative mask pack  I picked three of my favourite colours and three separate clean daubers (I used a blender pen for the small dots in the end) With old washi tape I taped the Mandala mask down over Whisper White cardstock being careful to centre. Gently daubing the ink over the areas with each colour. I wanted a dark intense colour so kept building it up. If you want a lighter shade then just lightly dab ..read more

I treated myself to the pre-order "Gotta Have It All Bundle" (149812) which is now open to customers to order.  The suite has EVERYTHING I LOVE in there, so I could not resist. I wanted to cover the front of my Memories & More album (code 144203). The papers are to die for .....the photo's you see do not do this paper justice, you really do have to see them in real life to appreciate the pearl design and the feel of the paper is just top quality. I had trouble choosing one of the papers for the front cover of my Memories & More photo album as I love them all.... so I loo ..read more

#the100dayproject I am not sure if the photo is picking up the background of puddles in white embossing as it is subtle, but the background needed simplicity so not to take focus away from the beautiful little dragon flies. I embossed the little dragon flies in silver and then with an aqua pen I added a little dab of Berry Burst to colour the wings.  The middle dragon fly was stamped with versamark onto window sheet and then pressed onto the square of the shimmery paper so it was facing the opposite way. This beautiful stamp set will be available very soon in the new 2018-2019 Ca ..read more
