Happiness Surrounds Epiosode 1, Inspire. Create. #029

The new set Happiness Surrounds and the coordinating thinlits are only going to be here for a short time - you have until the end of November to order them. So I thought I'd show you a few different ideas in case you were on the fence about ordering it This is Episode 1 of 5
I haven't used the Christmas set but I LOVE the simplicity and versatility of the Happiness Surrounds set.
I have used the layout from Inspire. Create. for this card. The focal piece is so lovely it doesn't need a complex background.
The gorgeous leaf circle has a matching "frilly"flower framelit to cut it out which layers beautifully over the solid "plain" flower framelit (you'll see that in a later post). So if you look at my card above I have cut two of these and layered them on top of each other. I think you could also use this as a Christmas wreath image.

the "frilly flower" is on the bottom row second from the left., and the other cute little emblem is the bottom row far right which is used on the inside of the card.


I do love a square card . 
The little detail poking out was a stitched label framelit that didn't come out cleanly, but it's just enough for some added detail on this card.

EDITED
so delighted to win a Special Mention in the challenge for Inspire. Create. #29

Pop back tomorrow for some more tips on using this lovely set.

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

cheers, Liz

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,...

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.

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...
