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

  3. 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.

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

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
