CTC#74 Shine on with Balloons

Welcome back for another week of great inspiration projects from the Catalogue. This week we are CASEing the Shine On section of the Occasions Catalogue form pages 30 -33.

Welcome from Julia's blog,what lovely tags she has created.





It's not a big section and at first glance it appears to not have too many options for CASEing. There are quite a few items in this section that I would love to own, but being realistic and trying to purchase sensibly they kept slipping down the priority list. One item that I definitely did purchase was the Shine On DSP. It is simply gorgeous and the photos don't really do it justice.  You need to hold this beauty in your hands to appreciate how gorgeous and shiny it is. I have made quite a few projects using it and they have all been very striking. The colours against the kraft are very strong, but the silver is absolutely beautiful.





There are lots of great cards in this kit. Can you see the black card on the bottom row with the 3 balloons? I thought that looked quick and easy so I gave it a go.






I don't own the balloon stamps so I have just drawn the balloon outline freehand and given the look of a shiny patch using the white gel pen.


It is indeed easy, would love for you to give it a go. Don't forget you can also join in with the crew over the whole month. 

 Here's a coupe of other cards I've shown previously using the Shine On DSP - it is such a feature you don't need too much els on the card. Great for quick projects.








Hop on over now to Jackie's amazing project. The Shine On DSP is truly a beautiful product. You won't regret purchasing this little packet of sparkle.


thanks for looking, 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
