Turquoise gift bag using The Colour Tree Challenge#7,and CAS(E) this sketch #160

Hello again, the Colour combination at The Colour Tree had me struggling at first, but once I started playing with the colours I really enjoyed using them. I have always loved the Turquoise but I was daunted by the Gold. That's the beauty of Challenges - they get you thinking! I'm also linking up with the CAS(E) this sketch#160.

The gift bag (top, right) inspiration from the SAB catalogue.

In the end it's essentially a monochrome card with some Gold highlights - a few gold sequins and the fabulous Gold Washi tape on the peg. (though they don't show up very well in the photo) The Washi is from the Sale-a-Bration specials on at the moment, as is the gorgeous Pedal Pusher Stamp. Such a cute image and very easy to colour. I used both a blender pen and the aqua painter. I don't make a lot of bags but was inspired to try the one at the back page of the Sale-A-Bration brochure. the Catalogue has such a lot of inspirational projects. You should check out all the projects at CASEing the Catty - we hold a monthly challenge too. I should use The Gift Bag Punch Board more often as it's really quite simple once you get the hang of it! I have to confess I went looking for the Black glimmer Washi tape and thought I had lost it - (wasted a bit of time too) until I realised the Metallics Glitter Tape actually comes in gold, silver and white...! So the painted panel is mounted on a piece of black glimmer cardstock. The Turquoise DSP is from a very old stack but I am making a real effort to use up some of my paper ~~hoard~~ , ~~stash,~~ collection! The little dots are from Timeless Texture, and the sentiment is from the Endless Birthday Wishes .. which I am using far more than I thought I would. It's so versatile.

You can't really see the gold very well but it is quite sparkly in real life.

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...
