CTC#122 - Falling in Love


Welcome back - it's good to be back after a few weeks away from my craft desk busy with family and work. I have missed being creative! So I couldn't possibly miss out on this week's Post - CASEing projects from pages 50-54 of the catalogue.
I do like the Falling In Love Suite but I am a bit of a fan of gift wrapping so I couldn't go past all the cute packages on page 54, and I am also in love with the Perfect Mix set so I have combined the 2 to wrap some beautiful mini Melting Moments (have to admit I didn't bake these but they are yummy!) My kitchen has a lot of blue and white so it seemed perfect to use the Floral Boutique DSP for this set of projects.

 

As well as the packing for the sweets on the top left I love the folder envelope card like the Best Guy Ever sample on the bottom left. 


The Envelope Foldover card is one that I have done before. You take a 6 x 6 piece of DSP and your first mark to Punch and Score is 2 5/8".  The belly band is made from a strip of DSP 11/4" wide and decorated with any choice of sentiment, ribbon, embellishment etc.

They are quite fun to make - and definitely fun to open.





If you like this style of card you can see more samples like that here.


While I had all the kitchen pieces out on my desk I thought the elements also suited the challenge at GDP#080 this week to CASE the designer Louise Sharp, so I made a full card to match.



Don't forget we love to see your creations too - share them with us on our Facebook page


Next this week is the amazing Kelly - not sure where she gets her energy from but as well as being uber creative she's a powerhouse! 


Befor me this week is Mel


You can find the full crew here

Hope you find some time to be creative this week too,
Back to the desk for me - I have swaps to finish! So excited for Onstage - however Cyclone Debbie and the resulting flooding are going to severely interfere with my travel plans as the airport is closed..... no cyclone is going to keep me away ! 

Thanks for looking, and remember,

    I kept passing this set up in the catalog, but your creations have made me take a second look at it. Love Love Love the envelope card done with Floral Boutique DSP, I can see my ladies really enjoy making this card. Thanks for sharing and for giving us some fun ways to use the set.

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...

500 challenges at CASEing the Catty ' - how fantastic to be involved

What an honour to be invited back to join with the Caseing the Catty team for their 500th challenge! Thankyou Bec for thinking of me. I started with the CTC crew way back at the beginning and I still go to the catalogue as a ready reference for creative ideas. The earliest post I can find is 2014 - CTC#3! 10 years of crafting along, that's pretty amazing. For this challenge it was completely open to choose any project to  CASE from either the annual or the Christmas mini catalogue. There are lots of projects in there that spark a creative journey for me and I did have a hard time choosing. In the end I opted for something simple since none of us have much free time at this hectic time of year. To make things a tad more difficult I have covid so feeling pretty low on energy. Lucky that crafting is a relaxing pastime and I can sit at my craft desk without be scolded too much by my loving DH that I need to be resting! For my projects I have created a Christmas Card and a matching Gift...
