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!"

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used.

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...
