I have two, nay three amazing collaborations coming to The Lilypad today! And I hope that you will find they are just what you need to help you scrap all the amazing goodies you are snagging this weekend!
One year ago, NSD marked my designing debut and I celebrated with the support and cooperation of my dear friend Crystal as we released a special template-only grab bag together. And we thought it would be fun to revisit the grab baggy spirit and fun! So I’m happy to present the 2nd Annual {i}NSD Grab Bag collaboration from Zinnias and Swallowtails and Crystal Livesay. This is a versatile set of 8 layered templates inspired by layers and a play with paper.
And here is a full reveal of what you will find inside this fun little grab bag:
You can grab this bag o’ templatey goodness in my store for $3 throughout the weekend. After this time it will return to it’s original price of $9.
Here is a spot of grab bag inspiration:
I have also teamed up with the ever amazing Amy Martin to create a set of templates inspired by the process of moving, packing and unpacking. We always have fun collaborating together and this set was no exception.
Meet Packed, a set of 10 layered templates created in the spirit of tighter, layery, stacky compositions:
And Unpacked, a complementing set of 10 templates created in the spirit of airier, looser compositions in mind:
You can also grab the bundle, Packed and Unpacked to enjoy the full set of 20 templates.
And here’s some amazing Packed and Unpacked inspiration:
And lastly, Amy and I have created this fun set of Thankful cards, which are perfect for creating heartfelt custom thank{full} greetings for those people in your lives whom you’d like to shower with thanks!
