CTC199 and a bright colour palette

Welcome back to CTC for episode #199- CASEing projects from the Country Lane section of the Holiday Catalogue. There's some stunning projects in this section - p 42-47. I chose a bright colour palette from the thanksgiving card on page 45. The colours just jumped out at me when I first saw it. I'm going to enjoy playing with these colours again.


My version has a few more layers. I added the ribbon and wrapped some twine at the top - mostly just because the stamping was a bit sparse at the top of the page since my stamped images are smaller than the Thanksgiving set in the catalogue. I used Jar of Love and Rooted in Nature and I'm really happy with those leaves.

I also punched a few leaves from coordinating cardstock and the white glimmer paper. You might get a better view on this angle. My background layer is from the Tranquil Textures DSP pack.



There's a lot in this section, I hope you find something from the CTC team that inspires you to CASE something too.
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.


Next on the hop this week is Sandra 

and before me this week is Peta


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

cheers, 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
