CTC#195 Festive Farmhouse Inspiration

Welcome back for the second week CASEing projects from the Holiday Catalogue. There's a lot to see in those pages. I have a few projects for you this week which allow any DSP to be the star of the show. Of course I'm using Frosted Floral again because it's my fave. But I've also added in some easy elements with the cute wooden word embellishments from the Farmhouse suite.
Christmas cards need to be simple in my world. 
This one has a few layers to it for interest but it's not too fussy.
I've CASEd the card in the middle on the bottom of the inspiration picture on page 12.


You probably can't see it terribly well but I've painted the word using some of the returning Shimmer Paint- champagne colour here, just added on with a sponge dauber. (so glad to see that back in stock). I've also sponged Tranquil Tide , and some shimmer paint on the teeny tiny Christmas tree which also comes in that embellsihment set.

For the second version I heat embossed copper powder in the word. You need tweezers to be safe with this one., But it's very easy


I did also try a wedding card using the diecut word from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, and a sentiment from Better together.  In the end I think it's a bit busy but I've included it in the photo for you. Might have to rework that one.


Next on the hop this week is Bec, you'll love her project

and before me this week is Judy

The New Catalogue is available now. If you'd like a hard copy please get in touch, I'd love to get one to you. But here's a cute little snippet of some of the treasures inside the 2018 Holiday Catalogue


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,

  6. All of your cards are lovely, Liz. Love the subtle colours for the Christmas cards with the embellished words. It is a shame the shimmer is so hard to photograph. I love all the detail in the wedding card, too.

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...

CTC#100 Presents and Pinecones

Can you believe we are 100 posts young???? Welcome to the 100th post for CASEing the Catty. You may have arrived form Katherine's post or you maybe starting here- Welcome! Be sure to hop around all the participants this week as we take inspiration from the Presents and Pinecones. I've been short of time with lots of commitments- aren't we all too busy?? So I needed a quick card for this week's post - which is perfect as I am planning a stamp-a-stack for Christmas class. It's a very big section of the catalogue but I settled on the gorgeous card on page xxx I have a few different versions using the same layout but different colours and embellishments. Not everyone loves tying bows so I tried to make them very simple. Heat embossing is such a simple way to add instant pizazz. The sparkling emerald Envy embossing powder is fantastic but I would advise definitely using your embossing buddy to minimise the amount of stray glitter, and I would also advise ...
