CTC#69 Love Blossoms- Blushing Pink Roses




Welcome Back for the Sunday Night Blog Hop. Welcome from Rachel's beautiful blog
This week we are CASEing the Love Blossoms section of the Catalogue which is such an amazing section of the Catalogue with loads of ideas and gorgeous products.
 I fell in love with the Rose Garden Bundle so have chosen to CASE this for you, using Blushing Bride over Pink Pirouette and layered up on Sahara Sand. The burlap ribbon is so on trend with weddings currently and it blends nicely with the soft pinks. I have to say that the Fine Tip Glue Pen was a must for this project. How did I manage without it? I have used some Embroidery Thread in the right tone as I wanted pink rather than linen on this project.



For the second card I repeated last week's tip about wrapping the Patterned Vellum around the plain card base for a softer look. The tiny sentiment is from a very old but still much loved set called Tiny Tags, but you could easily use any sentiment you liked for this layout. The fine metallic silver thread is tricky to work with but does add a lovely sparkle. I was tempted to add some Wink of Stella but was dismayed to find that I have finished one already !!!!

And just os show what you can do if you don't have the rose garden thinlits yet here is a sample using the inlaid embossing technique and the circles thinlits.



Next on the hop is  Helen, be sure and check out what she has created for us this week.



Don't forget to join the fun and add your link any time during the Month of March.


Thanks for looking, Liz

    Oh Liz, these are the most gorgeous selection of cards! Lots of inspiration for everyone with your blog. I received my Rose Garden Framelits last week, and have also had a lot of fun with them....now I feel I need to try this sweet, soft pink too!

      Thanks Helen, yes I use a lot of embroidery thread in my work - it has a gorgeous lustre and it comes in the perfect shade for every colour.

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.
