CTC205 - CASEing a Birthday card with a Christmas twist

Welcome back for another week. We are taking a Birthday card and CASEing it with A Christmas Twist. (copy and selectively edit)
Would you believe I am still drawn to Watercolour Cards?? I know hard to believe right?
I have CASEd a card I've done before from page 23.
I just love the little bird from Feathers and Frost, and the sentiment is from
Wishing you Well. The sprig punch just makes it all so easy.


You may recognise this card. Although I didn't do any stamping on the base layer, I have run the watercolour card through the Subtle embossing folder after I attached it to the green mat. It just stabilises the watercolourpanel, makes it flatter and makes it look like a piece of art!!

To be perfectly honest I have quite a lot of Emerald Envy (retired) green cardstock so I used that for the mats and there is a mix of Garden Green, Soft Suede an Emerald Envy in the watercolour panels. The little bird is coloured with blends which is super fast and easy.


A little bit of Tranquil Tide glimmer for a few sprigs adds just enough sparkle to qualify for a Christmas Card!


Before me this week is Sandra

next on the hop this week is Monique

Don't forget we love to see what you create too and you can join in our Facebook page with a photo of your project.

    Those water colour backgrounds with the subtle embossing folder is a fabulous idea!! Love the sprigs especially with the glitter ones.

    Liz, I love the effect of the Subtle Embossing Folder on the water colouring, very clever.

    Lovely cards, Liz. Love the embossed watercolour panel and the bright sparkle of glimmer sprigs really lifts it.

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

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...
