Liz's swap....

Let's hope autumn is not around the corner just yet....

but here's a lush project from Liz at our team play day...

Love the embossed vellum leaf, but the large leaf is awesome!

All different colours, and spritzed with glitz shimmer,

and then the acorn is glazed.....all mounted on my favourite En Francais background.

Here's her make n take with the Flower shop set, which I'm desperately trying to resist buying!

I don't do many flowers, but this set is scrummy, and the matching punch makes it

all so easy...true Stampin' Up! style and quality...

We embossed the label shapes from Apothecary Accents dies,

then inked them with a marker pen.

Did you spot one of the new labels?

Love that set too!.......Just for you!

Notelets

I'll start with my favourite which was taken from our Stampin' Up! newsletter

First make an aperture by cutting scrap paper with, in this case, a butterfly.

Use the aperture to stamp script background, ink over,

then add pearls and flower.

Notelets

I decided to make some Notelets to put in my

Stationery Holder.

I got the idea from Debbie Kolberg, to make single layer cards,
using different stamping techniques.

This is the inside of the folder

Come back tomorrow for details of the Notelets....

For Liz

Hello all, hope this finds you well.....

Here's the card I made for my lovely downline, Liz

I used Stampin' Up!' En Francais' for the background,

'Summer Silhouettes', (decoupaged the little flower),

velvet and new stitched grosgrain ribbon,

and some touches of sparkle that don't show up,

using the new Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

The sentiment is from part of 'A Word for You',

cut into a little banner.

We enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner with her, and some of our fellow lace-makers.

Snow blue...

I can't believe how many birthdays there are in January and February!

I'm struggling to keep up!, 

and I'm now worried I've posted some pics before the recipients have opened their cards!

I know I'm safe with this one......

Got the idea for this at Training, but was eager to use a fave background stamp...

it's such an elegant french script, "En Francais",

and "Charming", in crumbcake and pool party.
