CTC! 132 Birthday Celebrations

Welcome back for another round of CTC - using pages 68-85 for the inspiration pages this week. There's loads too choose from in this section, so be sure to make one yourself and post a photo of your card to the Facebook group. Remember we are looking for new Design Team Members and you have to play along for June to be considered.
But on to celebrating Birthday!






I was really impressed when I first saw the Birthday Delivery Bundle in real life and had a play with it at Onstage in Sydney( one of the best perks of being a demonstrator- seeing thing early!). 
It's pretty paper but it is such a clever range. The framelits cut not only the stamped images but some of the printed images in the DSP.  I love the Catalogue inspiration page with the banner hanging across the whole scene and when I found a shadow box frame at a local store I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.



The Old Olive background page is one of the reverse sides from one of the Daisy Delight pack.
Each circle is just pegged on so you could easily rearrange it to suit- or add a name to personalise etc. It did take a little time to fussy cut each of the images but I had some help doing that so putting it all together was quite quick. And since my catalogue launch was a full day yesterday I needed something quick. You can see it in the middle of the table. I will be posting a little video of the table on my Facebook page if you would like to see more of the samples in detail.

 
So get inky and create a birthday card inspired by ANYTHING on the pages specified above. Tell us which item in those pages sparked your creative journey, and post a picture of your project to the Fb page!


I think I'm last on the loop if you began with Rachel, but if not just keep hopping around the loop to see all the gorgeous birthday creations.





Thanks for looking, and remember

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.
