CTC62 A Sale-A Bration Favourite, well of course it's Flowering Fields!

Welcome back to the CTC bloghop this week where we are each making a project inspired by the pictures in the SAB Brochure. CASEing the Catty means that we can use a project, or a colour combination, a layout or a stampset as a springboard for making anything. The creative license is really endless. If you have been inspired by any of the projects you have seen this week, or anything in the brochure you have looked at and thought 'I must make that", then this is the bloghop for you!

We have started 2016 with a new format -each month we will be hosting a challenge as well as the weekly Hop. That means you can make a card and link it up with the CTC page via the Linky HERE. Each month we will select a winner. So you have quite a bit of time to get creative. We hope you will join in. This month its all about the new catalogues, so choose your favourite product or project and jump in.

The front page of the SAB brochure has 7 projects and I fell in love with the flowering fields set so I have CASEd the card on the middle shelf.

Usually I love White Embossing but I thought it might be a bit heavy for the delicate line style of this  set, so I used the White Stazon for this project. I coloured in the flowers using a blender pen and various inks. I don't use the white Stazon very often as I find it can be a bit dry  and you have to reink the pad each stamping session. As a result I tend to stamp a lot of pieces when I have it out and juicy.




I always love a Fancy Fold so this one will be the Class project for February. It's a card style I have done before and it's easy and always a nice change. (You can find the earlier samples HERE)

If you came from Tricia's blog  you will have enjoyed her gorgeous soft birthday card, 

Next on the hop is Julia - also from Sunny Qld like me, with a sunny card using the same Wildflower stampset to inspire you.


thanks for looking, don't forget to make a card for the challenge and link up to the CTC Page.
till next time, Liz

    The white stazon on the crumb cake background gives your card such a soft pretty feel which is perfect for this stamp set. I have never used the white stazon so its nice to see it used. The fancy fold is a fun surprise for the recipient too!

    I have never tried your style of fancy fold so I think you have inspired me to give it a go. The Flowering Fields is I think my favourite stamp set at the moment.

    I really like the white stamping with the coloured interiors. I agree that embossing with white EP might have made the flowers appear too thick. Beautifully crafted and what a great style of fancy fold to use with your design. Thanks for sharing.

    Love the soft look of the White Staz on the Crumb Cake card stock and the fancy fold is pretty special too.

    A stunning CASE Liz - love the fancy fold. The white on crumb cake is the perfect balance of contrast and subtlety - and such beautiful colouring.

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.
