Colour Theory Paint Chip Cards and Super Sweet Pretty Label gift bags.


Today I would love to show you some more of the cards and samples I had at my Catalogue Launch.
I am really grateful to the many creative and generous people out there who share their projects so freely. (Yes I am a self confessed Pinterest Stalker!!)
I'd like to thank Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek from Song of My Heart Stamper for her gorgeous Paint Swatch cards which inspired me to make this collection. I think it's the turned over last piece with the paint crackle that makes it so appealing.
The Colorful Seasons stamp set is super easy to use to create so many different looks, and the Label Me Pretty bundle has a whole variety of looks and styles too which I have tried to demonstrate here.






 The little bags are super cute and very easy to create.
You need a square of DSP 6 x 6

  •  score along one side at 1"
  • rotate and score to the one inch line at 13/4", 23/4", 41/2" and 51/2" all the way to the end
  • cut along the score lines to the 1" line to create the base flaps, cut the corner tab away
  • adhere the long edges together to form a tube
  • glue the flaps together to form the base
  • squeeze the tops together to form the bag, and hold closed with a peg/binder clip/library clip
I saw these first created by Crafty Caroline Creates and she has a link to a video on her website, they were so cute I had to have a go myself. And after my catalogue launch one of my team ceated a whole set for her daughter's birthday party this week.How cute are these! I know Katherine's daughter and her friends are going to love them/

If you would like more details about any of the projects I am happy to share. The products I have used are all itemised below and if you click on any of the images you will get more detail about each of them
Thanks for looking today, and remember

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

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...

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...
