CTC#249 - decorating with Toile Tidings



Hello again for another week. This week we are CASEing the Toile Tidings Suite pages 6-11.
Rather than CASE a specific project I have a collection of projects which I made for my recent Christmas Class to showcase the beautiful DSP. I had a card in last week's CTC and this week I have some gift bags.
I love the colours of the paper- Real Red, Very Vanilla and Garden Green. And as I said last week I am not so keen on the Northern European winter images, but it's amazing how that is not so significant when the paper is made into projects.

The beautiful mini curved keepsake box is SO EASY to use. I whipped up a bunch of these in no time. I think they make lovely decorations, but I did think they would work really well for an Advent Calendar too. I can see them as gorgeous table decorations. I also did one in plain Red Cardstock, and I quite like the look of the plain version mixed in with the others.
Here's my display from my Christmas card class.


And a card to finish.

I didn't buy the stampset so used sentiments from  a variety of sets.



The other project I made was a gift box which uses half a sheet- 6" x 12"(CASEd from Sam Hammond- pootles- the queen of boxes) from her annual advent countdown aug 30.
here's her measurements:
  • Paper – 6 x 12″ (15. x 30.5cm)
  • Score on the LONG side at 1.5, 5.75, 7.25, 11.5″ (4, 14.5, 18.5, 29cm)
  • Score on the SHORT side at 1.5″ (4cm)
Have a play and see what you can create using that section of the Catalogue for inspiration. We'd love to see your project too, so share a photo on our Facebook page.

Next this week is Julia. Can't wait to see what amazingly artistic project she has this week.



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

cheers, Liz

    What a great set of creations that show off the products and suite beautifully. You’ve been very busy but I’m sure everyone who came to the class loved it all.

    So many gorgeous projects Liz, you've shown off this DSP perfectly. I wasn't really a fan of this DSP but I think you've changed my mind.

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
