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

post something pretty!"

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...
