CTC#37 Baby

Having completely deleted by original post by accident this may be short!!

Welcome to the bloghop for this week. There are so many great design ideas in the baby section and it's great to see what all the other designers have come up with.  You will have come from Monique's beautiful card using the same stamps. Be sure to check out their creations. If you get lost along the way you can find a complete list at CASEing the Catty here.

I have been inspired by the packaging bag on page 35,  but have turned it into a card. I have been waiting for a set like this to come out and I'm so glad SU have created this as I am regularly asked for Baptism/ Christening cards. They are quite hard to make but this set makes it really easy.

I have created both a baby boy (Marina Mist) and a baby girl (Pink Pirouette) version. The crystal buttons really set them off I think.
I am also SO happy because Stampin' Up! have finally released a thick white cardstock which is perfect for making white cards. The Whisper White is beautiful and smooth to stamp on but hasn't, in my opinion, got enough oomph to be a good card base. This new cardstock is fabulous, and I  think I will now be making a lot more white cards. Hooray!
Can I 'do' clean and simple - well that is a challenge!



The scoring plate is fabulous for adding simple straight texture embossing. Elegant and understated
Starburst heat embossed with clear powder and sponging and stamping over the top.

  4. Thanks so much Alison, the sunburst is one of those stamps I couldn't see a lot of use for initially, but it comes into its own every now and then!

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
