You can create so many beautiful cards with Lilypad Lake!

Friday, 12 October 2018

I recently participated in a card swap with the Canada Inks Up! Team. The theme of the swap was to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) a card from one of the Stampin' Up! catalogues. I decided to CASE a card using the Lilypad Lake stamps and coordinating framelits.

It's feeling a lot like fall on the West Coast and this stampset makes me think of my time on our boat. The boat is put to bed for the winter, but just looking at the stamps made me remember our summer. For the swap card, I CASE'd a card created by one of the amazing Concept Artists at Stampin' Up! on page 133 of the Annual Catalogue. What better place to turn for inspiration. Often, when my creativity mojo has taken a break, I open the catalogue and look for inspiration. This card was no exception. Check it out!

Can you see how the legs of the heron are tucked in-between the openings of the waves! I love how this was done. I would have just adhered the heron on top, but the Concept Artist had a much better idea!

Here's a second card I made using the same stamp set.

This one was a little less fussy to make and I really like the clean and simple look.

Everything I used to create my cards can be found on my online Stampin' Up! store. You can check out the list of supplies below.

This card is one of the cards that you can receive for free when you place a $50 order (before shipping and taxes). When you place an order using the Host Code AYBEPFRS, I'll send you four cards and instructions by mail as a thank you. If your order is over $200, please do not use the Hostess Code as you'll qualify for Stampin' Rewards, but I'll still send you the 4 free cards!
