CTC 75 Mother's Day - with a retiring favourite


Welcome back to CASEing the Catty - we are all catching up on our regular duties after the fun of On Stage at the Gold Coast last weekend.  You may have arrived here from Monique's blog, so welcome, I hope you find lots of inspiration as you continue around the crew.


For Mother's Day this year I have a whole range of cards for the CQ Craft Expo next weekend, and I have one of those for you today. It is inspired by the card on page 121 of the Annual Catalogue which feature 2 sets I love that are sadly retiring.  I will miss Summer Silhouettes - but don't worry There are plenty of gorgeous flower sets coming in the new Catalogue.

This is almost a direct CASE from the catalogue and the beauty of that is that it came together  really quickly. I added a few extra layers and some extra texture but I do love a quick card.





Soft Sky, Daffodil Delight and Wild Wasabi - very easy colours to use together. Not sure if you can see but I learnt a new trick last weekend watching Shelley demonstrate her splatter technique with the wink of Stella- I used the aqua painter and some Soft Sky ink but i loved how it turned out.

I have lots to share with you in the next few days with some Sneak Peaks of the new colours and some new stamp sets which I got to use as part of being selected as a Display Stamper for the Gold Coast. The amazing thing was that there were 2 other current design team members and one past member there also as Display Stampers, so be sure to subscribe to my website in the box on the right to get all my new posts straight to your inbox.

Don't forget we'd love to see what you create- come share with us... 


thanks so much for looking, and check back in a few days too for the new colours.

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

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,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
