CRC162 Sweet Soiree

This week we are showcasing pretty projects inspired by the Sweet Soiree Suite- what a tongue twister. For this week's CASE I wanted to make something easy to show off the beautiful elements in the Embellishment Kit. It has loads of gorgeous diecuts of the flowers, some single roses, 3 cakes,a few pages of lovely silver and vellum leaves and floral sprays which are very easy to add to cards. There are also mini white pegs, some paper tassels, a roll of mini silver washi and some blue velvet scalloped ribbon.

I CASEd the layout from the card in the top right box on page 12 of the Occasions catalogue.

Using the notecards and envelopes is a wonderful timesaver as they are prescored and ready to decorate.

I used my (current) favourite embossing folder to add some detail to the lower third of the crumb cake panel, added a strip of the mini washi, looped some metallic black thread and then popped the diecut up as the feature. Quick and easy.

The same lovely floral sprays are also printed in silver on the vellum and lend themselves to colouring from the back or using just as they are. I forgot to photograph them but I also emboss the flap of the envelope with the same embossing folder to add a finishing touch.

You might also notice the cutest little epoxy shapes on these cards. They come in clear and glitter and are tiny - just perfect for a subtle bit of shine and dimension.

There are lots of gorgeous parts to this suite, I am loving the rose in the masks as well and have made this design a few times now. But I'll show you more of that tomorrow so make sure you are signed up to follow me by email for some tips and tricks with that mask. (See the ranbow box on the right side of this page)

You can see some of the silver leaf sprays as well as the diecut rose tucked into this card

The Sweet Soiree DSP is just stunning - with all that lovely silver on it. I made lots of little boxes to show off how pretty it was. More details on that here

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...
