CTC#67 Birthday Bouquet Suite

Hello again this beautiful Sunday. You may have come from Kathryn's blog, her Birthday Bloom card was awesome. Welcome to the hop. Hard to believe but tonight is our 100th HOP, that's certainly worth celebrating.


This week will be a treat seeing all the beautiful creations from the gorgeous Birthday Suite in the occasions Catalogue from pages 8-15.

There are so many beautiful products in these pages. I was so excited when I first saw the Number of Years bundle. Being able to personalise any card with the gorgeous big numbers is fabulous, and even better I love the font for the sentiments. I have been waiting a long time for SU to bring out a set that simply said Happy Anniversary, and this is it!I have chosen to CASE card on p10. 


 I do have a special couple in mind for their Anniversary this year. my parents in law

The  numbers images in the Number of Years set are big and bold but so pretty. Cutting them out is a breeze with the large Numbers Framelits Dies. I love the white border around the numbers. I felt that the floral image was a bit bold for the softness of the DSP so I covered this layer with some Botanical Gardens DSP.  This is a treatment I really like, and to avoid seeing any adhesive through the vellum I have simply wrapped it completely around the base panel and the glue is on the back - Easy, and theres's a second card below to show the same technique.


The patterned vellum shows up well over a dark base card, here I have used Soft Suede.




So I hope you have found some inspiration here. Enjoy hopping around the rest of the CTC design crew. Next up is Helen, her work is always so detailed and lovely.




Don't forget you can join in with use any time. We will choose a winner from all the selections for the month.

Thanks for looking, 
Happy Stamping, Liz

    Congratulations to your in-laws! I am sure they will adore their card. Clever wrapping of the vellum to hide the adhesive. That's why the CTC hops are so good, as I would never have thought of that.

    lovely card, thanks for the tip about wrapping the vellum around the card, I often avoid vellum because of the adhesive issue.

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.

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...
