My Second Favourite 6 from 2016

Continuation looking back over the last year so I can rework some favourites with new stamps for 2017.

Continuing on trend in 2016 has been the watercolour addition to cards which I have always loved. I love my old and new Stampin' Up! stamps and made several Baby cards for the markets using retired SU products and current colours

The current In Colours are my favourite set and I was lucky enough to have them to play with for creating display samples for Onstage in May. - more Watercolouring!



I do love 3D items and constructing paper things so I was really happy with my Afternoon Tea Tree using the  Cuppa and Kettle Thinlits (so sad they are retired) and making my own little teabags ( and yes they had scented tealeaves in them!

My latest favourite 3d item is the Hot Air Balloons using the Up and Away Thinlits, which are coming with the New Occasions Catalogue in only 2 days time on Jan 4!!! Getting Excited for new things!
This gorgeous mobile was for beautiful baby Bella- a little treasure. It's really hard to capture in a photograph but lots of fun to make.

And then of course there's more favourite in Christmas crafting !! I absolutely loved creating the String Jars Decor for the Handmade Expo Markets and the matching Christmas Cards.


Now the next thing is to get busy making new things!!
thanks for sharing this journey with me.

Come back tomorrow to check out some new products!

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...

CTC#100 Presents and Pinecones

Can you believe we are 100 posts young???? Welcome to the 100th post for CASEing the Catty. You may have arrived form Katherine's post or you maybe starting here- Welcome! Be sure to hop around all the participants this week as we take inspiration from the Presents and Pinecones. I've been short of time with lots of commitments- aren't we all too busy?? So I needed a quick card for this week's post - which is perfect as I am planning a stamp-a-stack for Christmas class. It's a very big section of the catalogue but I settled on the gorgeous card on page xxx I have a few different versions using the same layout but different colours and embellishments. Not everyone loves tying bows so I tried to make them very simple. Heat embossing is such a simple way to add instant pizazz. The sparkling emerald Envy embossing powder is fantastic but I would advise definitely using your embossing buddy to minimise the amount of stray glitter, and I would also advise ...

CI#04 Jars of Love

Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. Aren't those pansies in the inspiration picture this week just stunning - those gorgeous yellows and strong purples. These are not colours I normally gravitate to but a challenge is all about extending yourself so i'm glad to have had a go! I have recreated a selection of jars with my very favourite Jar of Love set. I have made cards like this before using very bright colours which are fun and very sweet, (and I'll post them tomorrow, so make sure you have filled in the follow by email box on the right side of this page) but today I needed to make a Sympathy card for a good friend who also loves Stampin' Up! It's a card for my work friends to give a colleague so it needed to be big enough for lots of people to sign it.  This card measures 13 x 19cm and I chose this size simply because I had some large envelopes left over from some wedding stationery- they have a little embossed heart on the flap whic...
