CTC#73 playing with Timeless Textures


welcome back to this week's episode of CASEing the Catty for another Sunday night. there are so many great inspiration projects in the catalogue and this week we are looking at the Botnaicla Gardens section from pages 26-29.
You may have arrived from Rebecca or you may be starting here. Be sure to follow the links around to see all the great inspiration projects from the team. If you get lost you can find the team at the CTC page HERE
Luckily the Timelss Textures set is also in this section and I love all the great looks you can achieve with it so I had a bit of fun playing. I took inspiration from two cards on the top left of page 29



I heat embossed the cup with white embossing powder and sponged the Mint Macaron over. The timeless textures underneath has been embossed with clear powder,an cut the teaspoon out of silver foil.



For the second card I used both the timeless textures and an old favourite- Flower Shop in Rose Red which looks more obvious set on a circle of embossed Vellum. It's hard to go past the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper as an accent



You can see some more inspiration cards by clicking on the links below. Next up is Judy



Thanks for looking today, don't forget you can join in any time during the month.




Happy Stamping, Liz

    The cup is lovely with all the little touches, but the card with the flower is a stunner!

    Great cards Elizabeth. I really like how you've cased both these cards but added your own flare to them. I like the flower on the second card too. Thanks for sharing.

      Thanks so much Penny, I really appreciate you taking the time to "chat". There is so much inspiration in the catalogues. sometimes I just go back and look at old versions for inspiration too!

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.

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...

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...
