CTC#41 Everyday section - so much to choose from

Spoilt for choice for inspiration this week! Welcome to the bloghop for CASEing the Catty - using the EVERYDAY section of the catalogue for inspiration.

You will have arrived here from the fabulous Rebecca, I know you will have seen some amazing inspiration so for, and you can go right around the circle if this is your first stop .

For my inspiration I used the white grateful card on page 87. I used the beautiful leaf image from  World of Dreams to cover the lefthand flap of the card and then fussy cut around the edges. I do love the Brick Wall embossing folder. To make the small white flowers stand out I punched them out of Shimmery White card with the Itty Bitty Accents flower punch. The sentiment is one of the handy ones from All Boxed Up.




I used the fine metallic silver thread as a highlight and some silver rhinestones. ( the silver peg is only to hold it closed for the photo)

Of course I couldn't stop at one colour! So I tried the Summer Silhouettes leaf image in Mossy Meadow. This is a favourite image which I have fussy cut many times. I used the little dandelion in Silver (or Pewter?) heat embossing powder on the Kraft cardstock to tie in with the Natural Chevron Ribbon. The Best Wishes sentiment is from Petite Pairs.




NOT everyone likes fussy cutting the edges(even me!) - and it is not ideal for a class, so to make a faster version I have used the Flower Shop image and the Pansy Punch. Then when I glued them onto the cut card edge , I just staggered the distance to give that same variation.
We will be doing this card in my class this weekend - the flowers are variegated using the Babywipe technique. Should be messy and fun and everyone's will be different!


It seemed a bit too white so the Hardwood background and some Gorgeous Grunge splotches seemed ideal.


Well you are at the end of the list but you can see everyone at the CTC blog. don't forget you can join in and leave us a comment if you would like to be part of the fun.


thanks for looking,

  1. Wow - three great cards! So much detail in these cards - the fussy cutting is very effective as the edge of your card but I also love those staggered punched flowers - thanks for sharing lots of ideas and tips.

  2. Oh my gosh - all three are beautiful!! I love the fussy cut edge look. The vines, leaves and flowers all look so effective against the brick wall texture.

  6. What lovely cards. The fussy cutting is just fab (I love me a little fussy cutting) and the embossed highlights just make the card so much more beautiful.

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
