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.

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...
