CI#64 Purple Posy challenge


Welcome back for another round of CI.
First up, purple is not my colour- but green certainly is, but guess what, my project ended up being mostly purple!!
The shape and lushness of the posy in the photo made me think I'd try a Christmas Ornament using the Ornament punches, and I'm happy it came together reasonably easily.


you need:
Long ornament 15 punched from DSP, 5 punched from Cardstock
Smaller ornament 15 punched from DSP, 5 punched from Cardstock
2 circles of cardstock 2" for the base of each layer
1 glitter circle 13/4" for front.
ribbon to hang and decorate.

Fold each DSP ornament in half longways, adhere 3 together and then adhere this group a cardstock ornament so you have 4 shapes glued to make one unit.


If you have a 5 point star I would use this as a guide for where to place your ornaments so that they are in an even circle when you adhere them to the base.
Arrange the ornaments and adhere to your base.

Repeat for the next layer.

I used (fought with) my hot glue gun to layer them together. ( which is why you won't see any detailed side shots!)
For a first attempt it's passable but Im sure it's easier the more you do.

You can't really see it but I did spritz the whole thing with Shimmer paint in Alcohol before I assembled them so it is a little bit sparkly.
I love the holly image from the matching stamp set and I may have gone a little off task with some Gorgeous Grape thrown in but it does give it a lift.
Although these coloured bells are not SU I do love a jingle at Christmas


I hope you are game to give this a try.
I'm glad I did.

Be sure and hop around to see what others have made using these colours. Next this week is the beautiful Julia



Don't forget we also love to be inspired by what you create with these colours, so please share a photo of your creation on our Facebook page.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

    This is just so gorgeous Liz. I really need to make one now! Thanks for including the instructions. I too have battles with my hot glue gun so hopefully it will be Lou:1, HGG:0! x

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...
