CTC#182 New Catalogue Loveliness

 Welcome back for another round of CASEing the Catty. This week's inspiration section is the first "Chapter", the Tea Room section. So many lovely items. I haven't purchased the tea room sets but I do love the look of those little tins! - and the paper - and the ribbon - and a few other things!!
I was drawn ( naturally) to the watercolour card on page 23 but wanted to use something other than flowers so I reached for my new favourite set "Rooted in Nature". I love the colours in the catalogue sample but wanted to try some new colours so this is Lovely Lipstick and Mango Melody with Bermuda Bay

I love the little accent that the vanilla strips give from the delightfully detailed laser paper. I have found the easiest way to adhere them is to apply tombow lightly with a wet sponge dauber. For me this leaves the least glue residue visible after the project dries.
I love the crystal buttons and used that as my centre point, then a few (retired) sequins for effect.
I added a little more detail with the random dots stamp from the new Birthday 
Backgrounds set which I won at onstage. It's a very handy little set.!





So I am also entering this card in the challenge at Just Add Ink this week which asks us to Just Add Spots Splatters or Speckles.

Rolled paper roses Frames

Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, 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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
