FMS#170 and Love is Kindness

I love the sketches at Freshly Made Sketches, so after such a long hiatus in crafting over the hot summer it is great to have a sketch as a starting point.



The new Paper from Sale-a Bration is Fantastic. The white on white "Irrestistibly Yours" is able to be coloured with any ink using spritzing, sponging or brayering to colour the background, while the gloss design resists the ink to create a background that matches your colour exactly. The six designs include leaves (as shown), stars, spots, stripes, lattice and flowers. This is one of the products you can choose for free with every $90 spent during the Sale-a-Bration promotion which is active until March31.
so using the Blackberry Bliss ink I sponged the cardstock in varying degrees and then layered a strip of Cardstock and silver glimmer paper to create the divider for the sketch. I started with a different element but after trying a few options the tulip image from Love is Kindness (is clearly a favourite) and it seemed to fit the best. The image is painted with the aqua painter and Blackberry bliss ink and wild Wasabi ink. The newsprint wrapping is again a small piece of Typeset DSP.

Thanks for looking - I will use some other stampsets next !!

    Absolutely beautiful! Love the paper and the way you have left it white behind the bouquet - it seems to glow! The newsprint is a great look. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

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...

CTC#100 Presents and Pinecones

Can you believe we are 100 posts young???? Welcome to the 100th post for CASEing the Catty. You may have arrived form Katherine's post or you maybe starting here- Welcome! Be sure to hop around all the participants this week as we take inspiration from the Presents and Pinecones. I've been short of time with lots of commitments- aren't we all too busy?? So I needed a quick card for this week's post - which is perfect as I am planning a stamp-a-stack for Christmas class. It's a very big section of the catalogue but I settled on the gorgeous card on page xxx I have a few different versions using the same layout but different colours and embellishments. Not everyone loves tying bows so I tried to make them very simple. Heat embossing is such a simple way to add instant pizazz. The sparkling emerald Envy embossing powder is fantastic but I would advise definitely using your embossing buddy to minimise the amount of stray glitter, and I would also advise ...
