A Few of My Favourite Things

Looking back is part of going forward right?
So I have put together a few of my favourite projects from this year.
Card making is my favourite crafting and being on the design teams at Colour INKspiration and CASEing the Catty means that I am constantly challenged to look at new ways of doing things, but also an incredible opportunity to learn from others. I also have to challenges myself to participate in challenges which are not my usual colour schemes/ style etc so it is a good opportunity to grow.
Here are the links to a few of my favourites.
This one has a surprise acetate front, See more here

This one was a great way to Demonstrate the Stamparatus at the Rockhampton River Festival recently.  I just love the Bokeh Dots stampset. I may even modify this for my Christmas cards this year.
You can see more details here

I have also had lots of fun playing with the Floral Frames Bundle- it's beautiful. But as well as the obvious images I was thrilled to find Gumleaves in the set. Here's how I made them and some of the tips with this set.

As well as cards I love to make other more permanent creations. I love the new colour revamp this year- everything is so bright and fresh. So I revamped my display board as well. You can see more of this here.

The other project I've been working on recently is a 3D frame.
I have used these Ikea 'Riva' frames a lot over the years as theAny sit flat on a shelf or table and there is a good depth for any 3D objects. This time I wanted to  update my frame with some of the gorgeous new papers and embellishments. You can find more about this project in this post.


And finally, what would a Stampin' Up! review be without looking at some Scrapbooking. There are lots of avid Stampin' Up! users who are keen scrapbookers and while this isn't my first option for craft time I do enjoy the challenge. And I try to diversify so I can be of help to my customers.
My page uses a Photograph that is very dear to me so it was important to present it and preserve it . You can see more details about my page here.

Thanks for looking today.
I hope you find some time to be creative this week
and remember

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

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. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

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,...

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...
