CTC#35 Thanks

Welcome to this weeks Blog Hop. I hope you find lots of inspiration looking at all the gorgeous cards made by the CTC team using the Thanks section of the catalogue on pages 13-18. Maybe you have arrived here from Helen's Blog, or maybe you are at the beginning. Either way you can keep going around the circle and if you get lost you can find the full list of participants here.

Well after my fundraiser on the weekend #creativerelief -raising funds for the Western Qld Drought Appeal- I needed lots of thankyou cards for all the generous people who helped make the day such a success. I have made quite a few different sets this week but this post is about the CASE from the Catalogue.

The first time I flicked through the catalogue I loved the butterfly and vellum card in the basket on page 13. It seems it also caught the eye of a few of the team members which is great because we all get to share our versions with you.



I made 2 using the new in colours Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush and paper from the Cherry on Top paper stack, but then I also needed a masculine version so I swapped out the butterfly for a star. It's quite a versatile  layout and I will certainly be using it again. 

The Fancy Foil Designer Vellum works so well with these cards and there are  plenty of options for stamp sets which would work. I have use the text from Crazy for You and Because You Care  and Build a Birthday, as well as the Butterfly Thinlits, the mini clothespins and some bakers twine.



I was happy to use up some more of my stash of DSP from the All Abloom Pack with Mossy Meadow, Island Indigo and Pistachio Pudding to keep it nice and bright, as well as some bits and pieces lying on the desk. (Who says masculine cards need to be dull?)
I just love the Project Life Grid Cards as focus pieces on my card fronts.(which are really economical at only $6.25 for 50). They work really well for easy cards and they are a nice weight cardstock. They were included in one of the designs we made at #creativerelief.


Now you can see the complete list of bloghop participants at The CASEing the Catty blog.


and Please feel free to join us if you make a card inspired from the Thanks section by adding your  link to the CTC page - or send any one of us a comment and we can link it for you.


If there's anything you would like to know more about, or to order products just drop me a line,

Thanks for looking,

    WOW you've been busy! What great samples, all a bit different to suit the occasion. You can't go wrong with a shiny silver butterfly!

    I love all of these! I think my favourite is the first one, but so genius of you to put a spin on that layout for all three. :)

    One great CASE after another! Your masculine take on the original design is fabulous & the use of grid paper for the sentiment panels is genius. :)

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car...

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu...

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
