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

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.
