CTC! 132 Birthday Celebrations

Welcome back for another round of CTC - using pages 68-85 for the inspiration pages this week. There's loads too choose from in this section, so be sure to make one yourself and post a photo of your card to the Facebook group. Remember we are looking for new Design Team Members and you have to play along for June to be considered.
But on to celebrating Birthday!






I was really impressed when I first saw the Birthday Delivery Bundle in real life and had a play with it at Onstage in Sydney( one of the best perks of being a demonstrator- seeing thing early!). 
It's pretty paper but it is such a clever range. The framelits cut not only the stamped images but some of the printed images in the DSP.  I love the Catalogue inspiration page with the banner hanging across the whole scene and when I found a shadow box frame at a local store I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.



The Old Olive background page is one of the reverse sides from one of the Daisy Delight pack.
Each circle is just pegged on so you could easily rearrange it to suit- or add a name to personalise etc. It did take a little time to fussy cut each of the images but I had some help doing that so putting it all together was quite quick. And since my catalogue launch was a full day yesterday I needed something quick. You can see it in the middle of the table. I will be posting a little video of the table on my Facebook page if you would like to see more of the samples in detail.

 
So get inky and create a birthday card inspired by ANYTHING on the pages specified above. Tell us which item in those pages sparked your creative journey, and post a picture of your project to the Fb page!


I think I'm last on the loop if you began with Rachel, but if not just keep hopping around the loop to see all the gorgeous birthday creations.





Thanks for looking, and remember 

"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"

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...

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,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
