CTC#70 CASEing the Sale -a Bration Sketches

HI again, and welcome back to CTC - can you believe we are up to #70 already?
This week we are using the Sale-a-Bration catalogues again- not too many more weeks and it will be over again for another year, but there is still time to get your favourite set for free with your $90 purchase.

You may have come from Jackie's blog or you maybe starting here. Sit back and enjoy the projects.

I have chosen the sketch on the front page of the supplement for the recent releases - the same sketch as Julia this week, but with quite a different result.


This is the first time I have inked up this lovely set and I really enjoyed the layering. My roses are done in Pink Pirouette as the base, Blushing Bride second, and Rose Red for the top detail, while the leaves are Mint Macaron and Cucumber Crush. I think the collage stamping suits a 90th birthday - what do you think?

And just to decorate the inside, a little touch of collage stamping with some added Timeless Texture.


I wasn't happy with the birthday banner, but a wee wink of Stella fixed that!

Next on the blog hop circle  is Monique ( first if you started at the beginning- is Julia who has been creating some wonderful projects recently. Have you seen her amazing exploding card in a box birthday cards using the numbers framelits and balloons? they are beautiful and very worthy of you winning the challenges!)



You can find the full list of participants here, and don't forget you are very welcome to show us what inspires you in any of the catalogue inspirations for this month.

Thanks so much of joining in this week.

    Wow your card has such a different look and feel to the original Elizabeth, it took me a minute to work out which it was!!! I love that the same sketch can give such a different look and feel with different stamps. The catalogues are just so full of inspiration.

    Fabulous take on the sketch, Liz! Your layered leaves & blooms are beautiful. I would never have thought cucumber crush would work so beautifully with mint macaron. :)

    The colour combination is beautiful, you have inspired me to get out this stamp set to get inky for the first time, I have forgotten about it as there is so many lovely stamp sets in the occasion catalogue.

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.
