CTC#69 Love Blossoms- Blushing Pink Roses




Welcome Back for the Sunday Night Blog Hop. Welcome from Rachel's beautiful blog
This week we are CASEing the Love Blossoms section of the Catalogue which is such an amazing section of the Catalogue with loads of ideas and gorgeous products.
 I fell in love with the Rose Garden Bundle so have chosen to CASE this for you, using Blushing Bride over Pink Pirouette and layered up on Sahara Sand. The burlap ribbon is so on trend with weddings currently and it blends nicely with the soft pinks. I have to say that the Fine Tip Glue Pen was a must for this project. How did I manage without it? I have used some Embroidery Thread in the right tone as I wanted pink rather than linen on this project.



For the second card I repeated last week's tip about wrapping the Patterned Vellum around the plain card base for a softer look. The tiny sentiment is from a very old but still much loved set called Tiny Tags, but you could easily use any sentiment you liked for this layout. The fine metallic silver thread is tricky to work with but does add a lovely sparkle. I was tempted to add some Wink of Stella but was dismayed to find that I have finished one already !!!!

And just os show what you can do if you don't have the rose garden thinlits yet here is a sample using the inlaid embossing technique and the circles thinlits.



Next on the hop is  Helen, be sure and check out what she has created for us this week.



Don't forget to join the fun and add your link any time during the Month of March.


Thanks for looking, Liz

      Thanks Rachel, I'm sure you will have lots of fun with your thinlits. It does also look fabulous white on white! - but I sold that card before I could photograph it !

      Thanks Helen, yes I use a lot of embroidery thread in my work - it has a gorgeous lustre and it comes in the perfect shade for every colour.

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...

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu...

500 challenges at CASEing the Catty ' - how fantastic to be involved

What an honour to be invited back to join with the Caseing the Catty team for their 500th challenge! Thankyou Bec for thinking of me. I started with the CTC crew way back at the beginning and I still go to the catalogue as a ready reference for creative ideas. The earliest post I can find is 2014 - CTC#3! 10 years of crafting along, that's pretty amazing. For this challenge it was completely open to choose any project to  CASE from either the annual or the Christmas mini catalogue. There are lots of projects in there that spark a creative journey for me and I did have a hard time choosing. In the end I opted for something simple since none of us have much free time at this hectic time of year. To make things a tad more difficult I have covid so feeling pretty low on energy. Lucky that crafting is a relaxing pastime and I can sit at my craft desk without be scolded too much by my loving DH that I need to be resting! For my projects I have created a Christmas Card and a matching Gift...
