CI#65 - a dramatic scheme this week

Welcome to the colour INKspiration bloghop. What a stunning and dramatic colour scheme we have this week. I'm excited to see what these colours inspire everyone to create. I love Nicole's gorgeous card this week, so many lovely details.

I wasn't sure where to start but thought I should definitely challenge myself with a stamp set which I loved in the catalogue but haven't really used yet. So I pulled out the Tasteful Textures stampset and the coordinating dies. They really are gorgeous and I feel bad that I haven't experimented with them very much.

The gorgeous colours just had to be watercoloured, so that was my starting point, and that huge round moon suggested a large round element on the card.

The champagne foil worked well to let the colours show through and I teamed up the sentiment on Gray Granite with a narrow textured strip of each of the colours. Taking inspiration from the sample on page 11 of the catalogue with the image of the bundle I tied a (retired) silver embellishment onto the sentiment panel.

The foil circle is raised up on (quite a lot of) mini dimensionals, which lets the light play and bring out the background.

And since I had the inside pieces of the foil left over I adhered them to a second watercolour panel. I ran the whole panel through the Subtle EF.

It feels good to have opened the set and used it. Can't wait to get some more samples made with this set, It really is as lovely as I had hoped.

Next on the hop this week is Tanya, be sure and hop all the way around for some amazing projects.

Don't forget we love to see what you create with these colours. Pop a photo on our Facebook page.

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

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...
