CTC 197 Joyous Noel chistmas project

HI all, just a quick post today - where does the day go???

I was inspired by the gorgeous Feathers and Frost suite and the beautiful images on page 30 of the holiday catalogue.

I have played with it before and I love it and you'll see some of those samples here and here.

For this card I heat embossed the leaf image in white on Crumb cake and used the Call me Clover ink to colour in the leaves, and a white gel pen to colour in the berries. A few layers of coordinating Call Me Clover paper and card and there you have it.

The beautiful little birdie doesn't appear until the inside. I coloured these using the Stampin Blends- super fast!!! (Just what we need at Christmas). For the sentiment I had fun using the Christmas Traditions Punch Box and coordinating punch. You'll find this treasure tucked away on page 2 of the catalogue. It's kind of easy to miss as you head straight in for the major sets but it's very easy to use. And it comes with the Real Red and Call Me Clover Ink spots too. I'll have more samples using this coming up soon.

You can see I snuck in a little branch for him to sit on - easily punched using the sprig punch! I am so loving this punch.

I added a few white mini pearls to the front.

There's lots to love in this section of the book. What will you make to share with us on our Facebook page?

Next on the hop this week is Judy. Her projects are always so detailed and precise.

and before me this week is the fabulous Julia

Don't forget we love to see what you create using the same inspiration pictures. Upload a picture of your project to our Facebook page.

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

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...
