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.

    Lovely card, Liz. Love the colouring on Crumb cake, it gives a beautiful soft finish that works perfectly with this set.

    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.

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
