CTC#94 Candy Cane Lane - the new Catalogue is HERE

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night bloghop 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 Jackie's blog, or you may be starting here. So WELCOME.

This week is very exciting for the Stampin' Up! community as the new Christmas Catalogue is here! Everyone loves new stuff and new ideas! We hope you find something to amaze you here and get you started preparing for Christmas- it's never too early!

The first suite in the catalogue is called Cany Cane Lane and includes paper and stamps. The great set of two markers is really handy, and the matching punch is fabulous for the Santa, teddy , reindeer and other figures.  The Cookie Cutter Christmas  and punhc can be bundled saving 10%. Gotta love that. 

Already there are loads of samples on Pinterest showing how versatile this set is. I am studying at present and my crafting time has been really affected (sad face) so I needed a project that was super quick this week. 


So I grabbed the pens and coloured the reindeer, punched him out and coloured him with an aquapainter to get the soft look. I used the Early Espresso marker to colour his eyes, and when he was completely dry I coloured him with Wink of Stella to add some depth. I used  the ready made notecards and envelopes which save so much time, and I tied the tag on with some of the new sparkly baker's twine. The DSP has both bright images and softer pages too which is very versatile.

I also wanted to show you the great new food safe boxes which are white, can be stamped on, and come with a clear acetate sleeve to cover. So simple and quick. They are 3" cubed so quite a decent size for some baking or a small gift. You can find links to each of these products in my online store just by clicking on any image below. 

So if your crafting time is very limited leading up to christmas this set could be really helpful for you too.

Next on the hop is my lovely friend Krissy. I wonder what gorgeous time she has created this week



Don't forget we love to see what you create too, and we hold a monthly challenge where you can share with us too.


Thanks so much for looking,

Liz

    Your card has such a lovely soft lush feel to it, especially with the addition of wink of stella. The matching box is perfect for a nice little treat.

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.
