Hey Little Magpie December projects

I wanted to share the last of my 2014 makes on the blog before Big Ben chimes midnight tonight!

Full details of my "Thank you" card gift set can be found here on the Hey Little Magpie blog. :)

Here's what was inside that box!

Cards featuring the lovely Dear Lizzy Serendipity papers plus some ideas for the matching stamp set.

And here are the cards inside the box:

Paper: American Crafts Dear Lizzy Serendipity
Dies: Lil' Inker Designs, MFT, WPlus9
Stamp: WPlus9
Enamel dots: Basic Grey
Other: 3D foam

I totally loved this "Liz Lemon" paper in the line. The navy/white stripe is the reverse and I really liked the combination of navy and lemon yellow tones. So fresh and happy!

Next up, I used the jar stamp from the accompanying stamp set and filled it with lots of fluttery hearts:

Paper: Dear Lizzy Serendipity
Stamps: Dear Lizzy, MFT
Enamel dots: MFT
Ink: Hero Arts
Other: 3D foam

More yellow tones on this card - but mixed in with a rainbow of hearts flying out the jar. Just scoring your heart die-cuts before gluing them down makes such a difference. Totally lifts them from the card. :)

And another outing for the jar stamp, this time keeping things more simple by creating layers through stamping:

Paper: Dear Lizzy Serendipity
Stamps: Dear Lizzy
Die: Lil' Inker Designs
Ink: Hero Arts
Other: 3D foam

To create the jar I first stamped the greeting on a strip of paper, the scallop border is actually a stamp in the Serendipity stamp set stamped in pink ink. I then glued the strip onto the aqua paper and stamped the jar image and fussy cut the jar out. Simple!

Next up some more sunshine yellow:

Paper: Dear Lizzy Serendipity
Stamps: WPlus9, Avery Elle
Dies: WPlus9, MFT, Lil' Inker Designs
Enamel dots: Basic Grey
Ink: Hero Arts
Other: 3D foam, Corner Chomper, Stickles

There were a couple of behind-the-scenes accidents with this card which ended up why the sentiment is on that blue strip of paper, but in fact it was like the name of this line suggests, a happy accident!

And to end, there's a bright and bold number!

Paper: Dear Lizzy Serendipity, AC glitter paper
Stamps: Avery Elle
Dies: Mama Elephant, Lil' Inker Designs, Lawn Fawn
Ink: Hero Arts
Other: pattern wheel

I loved the raspberry, leaf and teal tones on this floral paper, so much so I paired them up with a little glitter in the bow and I die-cut the sentiment 4 times from raspberry pink cardstock to create a chunky solid greeting that really pops. I love this technique for solid word dies, so effective! :D

Saw these posted on Facebook earlier Nat and I have to say I absolutely LOVE them! Beautiful papers, I might have to go and have a little look at them in the shop. Not sure which is my favourite - jar of hearts or the one with all the lemons??
