CTC#64 Sale A Bration Inspiration in love with "What I love"

Welcome back to the CTC blog for this week. I am still away travelling so this is brief this week but I wanted to play along.  You may have arrived from Rachel's blog and if you continue around the group you will see some amazing inspiration.

There is so much inspiration in the SAB catalogue but I was inspired by the gorgeous card alongside the What I Love set so have CASEd that. If you follow my blog (Just fill in your email details at the bar on the right side to get regular emails whenever I post something new) you will know that I do love a square card, and also that I am a big fan of Crumb Cake. For this card I used Tempting Turquoise stamped off for the 2 base images, and Pacific Point for the detail stamp, and Wild Wasabi for the leaves. Super Simple.



And just to show another version using a stampset you may already have I used Everything Eleanor with the same colours. You may be able to see Stella winking at you! 


Thanks for looking, please enjoy the rest of the bloghop
 and follow along with the Kathryn who is next.

Happy Stamping, will be back home next week, Liz

    What a great CASE, Elizabeth. I love Crumb Cake too but for some reason I never make a square card. I am going to try one next time I craft, you have inspired me! This CASE looks great in both styles, but I particularly like how you used Everything Eleanor as an alternative.

    I must stamp on crumb cake cardstock as it makes these colours just stand out. It's great to show that you can substitute another stamp set and it works so well too.

    Creative use of the colours on the Crumb Cake card stock. I haven't inked up Pacific Point for a while as I tend to avoid it. You've made it look good! Lol.

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.
