Lillibet Stamps

Lillibet - In the Garden

You might remember my projects created with the Lillibet collection by Trimcraft. Recently they also released some fabulous stamps. They are a brilliant addition to this lovely collection, as they give us so much more creative freedom than stickers or printed images.

For the above card I opted for more intense colours and tried out a different hair colour. I used Spectrum Noir pens to colour in the image.

A product list and step-by-step instructions are in my Trimcraft gallery. The swirls are created using a die by Marianne Designs. The background paper and kraft cardstock can, of course, easily be cut with a paper trimmer or guillotine, but I could not resist to try out the square layering dies by Tonic Studios. I could not be tempted by square dies for a long time, but the increments and the large number of dies in this set changed my mind. And somehow it is quite nice to get perfect squares every time, which will come in very handy for techniques like teabag folding.

Lillibet and a new toy


A new toy has found the way into my office/craft room, as I just could not resist the small handheld sewing machine by Joy! Crafts. I just had to try it out today, but we are not friends just yet. It works like a stapler and dragged the cardstock into directions I did not want it to go, so a lot more practice is required.

My products of choice for the card are once again the beautiful Lillibet products by Trimcraft. I just love the wide range of gorgeous embellishments, which can be combined so nicely with other items from the collection or can be used to give other projects that perfect finish. The only other items that I added to this card are flourishes created with a Die-namics die.

A list of required products and tools as well as full step-by-step instructions can again be found in my Trimcraft gallery.

More from Lillibet and her Friends

Lillibet - Country Life

What can be a nicer start into a Sunday than dedicating some time to finishing off craft projects whilst sitting at the window and watching the birds enjoying themselves in the sunshine?

Lillibet - Just For You

And as a result I can now share with two more projects created with the lovely Lillibet collection by Trimcraft. Product lists and step-by-step instructions are also available again.

Click here to see the details for 'Just For You'. The tag is created using a Die'sire tag die by Crafter's Companion. And just click here to see the instructions for 'Country Life, for which I used an Embossalicious embossing folder for Crafter's Companion. The ink pad that I used is a Tim Holtz distress ink pad in 'walnut stain'.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Lillibet - Joy


Oh what a chaotic week this has been! I am so glad that it is the weekend and that I can relax with a bit of crafting.

Let's start with another Lillibet card. This morning dark clouds were hanging in the sky and it was extremely windy, so these lovely products by Trimcraft were just right to brighten up the day. I have also prepared a product list and step-by-step instructions for those of you, who would like to re-create the card. You can view the details in my Trimcraft gallery. Please just do not give the design out as your own, do not enter it into competitions or challenges or similar.

Some might be interested what kind of die I used for the leaves. It is a corner die by Cheery Lynn. I just cut the corner into two pieces and trimmed those to the correct length.

And I need to make a confession. I am already stocking up like mad on some Lillibet embellishments. Another paper pad is probably due soon ... I just love to use the items from this collection so much. And the colours are not only great in combination with the Lillibet images, but also with so many stamps that I own.

Lillibet - All About You


I seem to be on a role this weekend. Here is already the next Lillibet project. It is just so much fun to work with these gorgeous products. And what I like especially about the Lillibet designer paper packs are the soft colours and the couple of sheets with a linen effect.

As I created this project for Trimcraft, I have also compiled a list of products used for this card (the bow die is by Die'sire/Crafter's Companion, by the way) as well as step-by-step instructions. You can again find these in my Trimcraft gallery. And if you have any questions around this project, just give me a shout by leaving a comment below.

I think now I will relax a bit in front of the TV, a the end of the weekend and the beginning of the new working week are not far away. Have a good start into the new week.

Lillibet - Hugs


Lillibet is an adorable little girl with a wonderful bunch of friends.
Follow her on her adventures and be truly delighted by her charming
life as she plays, ponders and builds lasting friendships.


Trimcraft have just brought out a collection of lovely products around these adorable characters. And there are so many brilliant embellishments to explore. There are wooden elements, paper blossoms, three types of flowers, lace ribbon, coloured doilies, charms and so much more. I am still only slowly moving from the 'stroking stage' to actually using these beautiful items. Oh, what are we crafters like ...

I have again prepared a full list of products and step-by-step instructions for this card, so that it is easy for you to re-create it should you wish to do so. The details are - as usual - in my Trimcraft gallery.

And the bad weather today has one big advantage: It is just too wet to do anything outside and I can now continue to work on more projects with these gorgeous new products.
