CTC#44 In Colours

Welcome back to this week's CTC bloghop, using the new In Colours for inspiration this week.

You may have arrived from Julia's beautiful blog, she has such amazing work.

I love the new colours but haven't managed to combine them all together successfully, so this week I have 2 cards using different colour combinations. Last week's Artistic Expresssion catalogue section had so many cards for inspiration so I have used a few of them for the card layouts.

The first uses the Striped Scallop Thinlits card on page 117



Rebecca CASEd this card last week and it was gorgeous! (You can see it on her blog "the paper and stamp addict" under CTC43 feeling Artsy?), I had already made this card so it was good to see another sample and colour combo. 

I love the striped scallop thinlits but haven't used it as much as I thought I would - or as much as the lattice die which I really miss! Anyway  I think this is a really cool layout to use it as the only glue I used is the 2 strips that adhere the white banner  to the Tip Top Taupe base. The flowers are Watermelon Wonder using the Petite Petals stamp set and matching punch, and the sentiment in Cucumber Crush is from the super cute new Cottage Garden set. The DSP is from Cherry on Top, and the twine is 3 strands from the great white jute ribbon which I have run over the Watermelon Wonder ink pad - a bit messy but really effective as the natural fibres absorb the ink really well.

My second card is in Delightful Dijohn which is not a colour I normally gravitate to but I really like the depth in this particular shade. I used the simple layouts from Page 120 as the inspiration.



I love the English Garden DSP and cut out a few of the images.  The rose needed a little bit of sponging with Blushing Bride to give a bit more depth.Those Naturals Expressions Elements are so simple, they add such a WOW factor so easily. You might notice a sneak peak of a new embossing folder coming up in the Christmas Catalogue. It's called Simply Falling and I can see a lot of use for it.

The next person on the bloghop circle is Rebecca  who always creates something lovely.


Thanks for looking,

Liz

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...

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...
