CTC#148 using Kits for Inspritation

Welsome to this week's challenge0- usingany of the kits as inspiration for your project. The kits are fabulous but it was an easy choice for me. I fell i love with the beautiful Hello Friend stamp set on page 17 of the annual catalogue. And while I haven't purchased the kit, I have had the stampset for quite a while and I have been inspired by the cards shown in the kit.



This card sort of gets a bit lost in the photo but it was really fun to make. I heat embossed onto shimmer paper because I prefer the look you get with watercolour wash on the shimmer.
 Two of the cards is stamped and cut out the flowers, but 2 are just stamped directly which was much faster. The hardest part was tying those little twine bows! but they do add a little pizazz.


This is a set for the coming Christmas market stalls. I am loving the new acetate boxes. They just make it all too easy. Thanks Stampin' Up!


Don't forget we love to see what inspires you from the catalogue. Please post a photo of what you create to our Facebook Page.

    You are brilliant at the watercolour wash! These cards are just lovely, and I agree about the acetate boxes. They look great and these cards make such a perfect kit. What an awesome case.

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,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
