CTC#45 Hostess sets

Hi again and welcome back to the CTC blog where we are CASEing the Hostess sets in the Catalogue (p178-181).

If you have followed from the beginning of the bloghop you will have come the full circle and arrived from Jess. She always has such stylish creations.

The Hostess sets are such good value and there's always some great sets on offer. I have chosen to use the Happy Birthday Everyone set (at the top of the page) which is so useful, and I CASEd the card on the bottom of page 179. 

The only problem was that once I had finished I realised it is very similar to last weeks card, and that again I have been drawn to orange and black!!(Not usually my colours!)
So I decided to add a male version to show how adaptable this set is.

Island Indigo and Lost Lagoon.

Watermelon Wonder and Tangerine Tango

I don't own the large Dahlia background stamp so I substituted the tree leaves from Sheltering Tree for the colour coming in from the top left corner. I inked the stamp, spritzed it with water and stamped onto wet watercolour paper with the base colour, and stamped off and used dry ink for the second layer once the wash was dry.

You may notice a few sneak peak products here - Black glimmer paper (super yummy), and the Happy Hauntings DSP is from the new Holiday Catalogue which will be avaialalbe next week. If you'd like a copy please get in touch - it has SO many fantastic things inside.


You have reached the end of the bloghop and can see the complete list of participants here at the CTC homepage. 


Don't forget you can create and join in with us.


thanks for looking,

Rolled paper roses Frames

Two new Frames for the Handmade Expo Markets this weekend. These are hand rolled vanilla paper roses, with newsprint DSP in the red version. Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, liz

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
