CTC#113 More Sale-a -Bration fun

Welcome back to another Sunday night. This week we are taking inspiration from first part of the Sale-A Bration Catalogue.


I have chosen the layout of the sample on page 5. It's so versatile and can be adapted for all sorts of occasions. That's the great thing about using the catalogue- someone else has done all the design experimenting and figured out the perfect balance of elements.


I have adapted this layout with 2 samples of DSP and cutouts rather than stamped elements. However I did use the beautiful SAB set Delicate Details instead of real lace. I have heat embossed in white on Kraft card and fussy cut around the lace. This is a beautiful treatment for wedding cards! The other SAB itme in my cards is that beautiful ribbon . It is SO much softer than the picture suggests. The trouble of course is picking which SAB item you'll use the most! Get them all - you won't be sorry!



In the Lift Me Up sample I have used the same lace technique and the beautiful SAB item - the DSP. Ready printed clouds make this card quick to put together.


Next on the hop is Rachel - and I think we have been on the same wavelength this week!

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
