A Romantic Shaker for JAI#394 - #useitup #1

Just Add Ink this week have the challenge of Just adding Romance.

I have been trying to use up some of the many half packs of product I have accumulated and  the bits and bobs on my desktop. - my personal challenge to #useitup. This includes a few packs of Memories and More cards
Today I have used up one of the cards, some sequins, some gold foil washi and a gold glimmer strip of hearts.
The card is in the gorgeous Mint Macaron (my favourite green - so sad that it's retired) in an ombre style and I just loved the sentiment  - Fall in Love with Moments.  I was not going to be able to easily cover the width of the opening with the card so I opted instead to cut out the circle and adhere that to the card base inside the shaker.

I created this shaker card and used the Amazing You stamp set in the Sale a Bration Catalogue. 

The flower was heat embossed in gold on crumb cake and painted with Berry Burst using my blender pen. Since I've already cut my stamp I was easily able to stamp the leaves separately.  A little bit of gold thread and a rhinestone bling and I'm swooning already!

You might be able to see a few of the glimmer hearts in the shaker elements too, and I always add some mini beads for a bit more weight when shaking.

The inside just has a bit of leaf stamping and a strip of gold foil - also from the bits and bobs stash!



I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

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...
