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!

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.
