CTC#165 - more Sale-a-Bration amazingness!

Welcome back for another week CASEing the amazing pages of the Sale A Bration Brochure. I'm away on holidays next week so wanted to make sure I wouldn't miss too many episodes- and besides it's a great reason to excuse myself form the dishes and get crafting! 
The Celebrate YOu Thinlits are beautiful- and best of all they WILL be continuing in the next catalogue. The stampset which matches will not be continuing however so make sure to order yours if you love it as much as I do.
For this card I wanted to use all 3 thinlits and I CASEd the card on the bottom of page 17,




I didn't have enough time to cut out 3 or 4 of the celebrate and cut them into blocks of letters for the ombre effect they describe in the brochure. Instead I cut one word from Sahara Sand and using paper as a mask I sponged it lightly with a dauber using increasing intensity of Berry Burst Ink. To make the word stand out a little I cut a second word from Copper and adhered the 2 slightly offset to get a hint of copper behind the word. I did the same for the YOU. I also sponged the Tranquil Tide tone on tone to darken it, and to make the Celebrate lift a little off the page I place a strip of vellum behind. The copper roses are heat embossed using the Petal Palette set and painted with my favourite tool - the aqua painter.

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
