CTC 131- at last it's here! Lets go CASEing

Well I'm so excited to be CASEing images and products from the New Catalogue. Welcome to CASEing the Catty this week where we are using the Everyday Occasions Section (p18-65) of the New Catalogue as inspiration. We can use a card layout, colour combination, embellishment or project as a launch pad for our own creation.
Next weekend is my full day Stamping Retreat and Catalogue launch and I have been busy planning and preparing for that ( well in between work and real life etc).

The catalogue really does have a wealth of wonderful  inspiration projects from very simple to quite complex.
This month I need SIMPLE! And what could be more simple than letting the gorgeous papers speak for themselves with a tiny bit of stamping.

When I first saw the "Pick a Pattern DSP" I didn't really give it a second glance, but now that I have it in my collection I'm so glad. It is a really fun suite on pages 40-41. I think it will have a lot of appeal to all ages but especially great for teenagers

 

These are the colours in the pack. Very easy to work with.

I have chosen the sweet card at the top of page 40 to CASE this week. 


Here's the recipe for SIMPLE
  • simple randomly placed tone on tone background stamping with tiny images
  • a large circle of DSP
  • a strip or 2 of contrasting DSP ( scraps are great for this)
  • a stamped sentiment punched out and layered up

Here's the recipe for STEPPED UP (but its' still very simple)
  • simple randomly placed tone on tone background stamping with tiny images
  • add a few extra images in a second colour
  • a large circle of DSP
  • mat the circle onto a nesting circle of card
  • a strip or 2 of contrasting DSP ( scraps are great for this)
  • piece of ribbon looped over and stapled
  • a stamped sentiment punched out
  • mat the sentiment on a nesting circle of card and layer up
Here they are side by side, and the inside also


It was so easy I had to see what some of the other papers looked like from the set.
I'm also going to CASE the pretty pink floral box for another day. Be sure and subscribe to my blog so you'll catch that post too later this week.



Such fun papers. Have you seen some of the other amazing papers that are available?

  7. Lovely cards Liz, its funny how easy it is to miss great little cards in some of the catalogue images. Your collection also shows how different cards can look just by changing up the colours and DSP.

Rolled paper roses Frames

Two new Frames for the Handmade Expo Markets this weekend. These are hand rolled vanilla paper roses, with newsprint DSP in the red version. Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, liz

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
