JAI #218

The retiring In Colours are the inspiration for this latest challenge from Just Add Ink. They are some of my favourite colours so it was not hard to make  card using them as the focus. In fact I have been using these colours a lot lately trying to use up some of the DSP.
the problem in fact is in deciding which card to enter!

I love patchwork cards and my previous designs used the 1" square, but I have made the latex ones using the hexagon punch.. After they are  adhered to the base square I run them through the Bigshot with an Embossing Folder to give the look of a quilted piece before embellishing.
These ones use Midnight Muse, Gumball Green and Summer Starfruit.





My other card for this challenge is a flower Box card - it stands up like a flower box but folds flat to fit inane envelope- however it is not as bulky as a card in a box.
I have taught these in a class and they were very popular.
Raspberry ripple, Gumball Green and Summer Starfruit.( with Midnight Muse as the background)

    You've used these colours beautifully, Elizabeth. Great idea to use the Hexagon punch for your quilted card (I must try that!); it looks great. The box card is lovely, too. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.

    They are both lovely Liz. Your hexagon embossed cards are so pretty, l love the patchwork quilt effect and your card in a box style is great and so different to the other type of card in a box. Great collection! Thanks for entering at Just Add Ink.

    It's amazing how well the hexagon looks in patchwork!! I love all the little 'bits' you've added too.
    Thanks for playing at Just Add Ink this week.

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,...

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...

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. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...
