VIDEO: Dear Lizzy's new 'Stay Colorful' collection released at Creativation 2018 is bright and fun and full of darling embellishments! #dearlizzy #staycolorful #video #creativation2018

Elizabeth Kartchner is not only the sweetest person but her new collection, “Stay Colorful” is filled with sweet details that will make scrapbooking a joy!

Do you follow her on Instagram? I LOVE her Insta Stories! @dearlizzy

The colours of this collection are bright and vibrant and whether you’re into fun and trendy embellishments, purr-maid anyone??? or not, this line has something to offer.

First of all you need to know that the paper is available individually, or as a 12×12 paper pad, OR a 6×6 paper pad!

The cut-apart paper, Jive Talkin, ย has fun phrases and images and the ‘B’ side is a nice simple pattern, perfect for layering.ย (Click image to shop! *affiliate link)

I love this paper called “Mood Ring” because it makes me think of the ‘pour art’ that is so popular right now. (You know it’s popular because my Mom has even tried it! You literally pour paint onto a canvas and let it spread, search it on YouTube, it’s mesmerizing!)

The floral, Far Out, is pretty but not too fussy, and I love the confetti sprinkles on the “B” side!

And this script “Hooray” paper (it’s technically called Let’s Boogie) is good for so many uses, I truly love a good sheet of black and white paper, and the pink floral is fab!

I’d probably buy at least two sheets of this “Lava Lamp” paper!

Sometimes I want to add a bit of the fun and trendy products to my layout so I think this sheet of cardstock stickers with foil accents is PERFECT!!!

Or perhaps just a couple of layered stickers?

And I always love some puffy stickers!

The holographic sparkle Thickers are as fabulous as they sound!

These gold/white sparkle words are definitely coming home to my scrappy space!

Honestly I was ‘trying’ not to show EVERY item, but there was so much to love! There are also:

  • some sparkle clothes pins
  • a terrific alpha stamp set
  • ephemera with gold foil
  • gold-foiled cardstock stickers with words and phrases
  • a book of washi tape
  • some glitter resin shapes
  • gold foiled vellum (swoon!)
  • and of course many more patterned papers!

Do you like to include trendy products into your scrapbook, or are you drawn to the simple designs included in this collection? I love that it works for both!

 

Happy scrapping!

Alice.

New York Cake Creativation 2018

New York Cake has some great tools to help you create masterpieces out of fondant and chocolate! #newyorkcake #fondantmold #chocolatemold #chocolatestiletto #chocolateshoe #creativation2018

I was walking down the aisle at Creativation 2018 and I suddenly spot a fabulous shoe! WHAT???!!!

Soon, Lisa Mansour from New York Cake was introducing me to the sweet world of cake, fondant, icing and chocolate! YUM!!! Creativity has never tasted so good!

I was curious about how I might bring some of the molds and tools into my crafty world too… the opportunities are so enticing, kind of like a chocolate shoe!

What kinds of crafts or creativity do you get into? I’ve made chocolates with chocolate molds and they are SO FUN, and the more I learn about cake decorating the more I want to try!
