CTC#52 Minted Treats

Welcome Back for another round of Colour INKspiration. We have a gorgeous inspiration picture with minted treats and I was going to try and package some chocolate treats but time got away from me this fortnight.

In between work and family and renovating I have been busy cleaning out the craft room to create some better space for creating, and in the process I have come across some old projects which I really enjoyed making. So this is a reprise from an older time, and my notes give credit to Pootles but I haven't had time to search for the link.

I do love sets of cards, and this is a wee set of gift tags in a cute little matching box. Very easy, and quite effective I think.


 

I have created 4 tags, 2 say "Happy Day" and 2 say "Cheers to You" so they are quite all purpose tags. The sentiments are from "Itty Bitty Birthdays". and the gorgeous Bonsai tree is of course from "All the Good Things". The leaves are stamped only in Granny Apple Green but the sentiments are a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Early Espresso. The Stamparatus made this super quick project. And while theb white Flax ribbon is used on all of them I mixed up the ribbon and twine. Just a few epoxy hearts and frosted or silver embellishments to finish.


For the Box
  • cardstock 7" x 4"
  • with card Landscape score at 1'  for the box base flaps
  • with card Portrait score at 1", 31/4", 41/4", 61/2"
  • cut up to the one inch score line to create the flaps, fold, burnish and glue in place
  • decorate the front to match the cards
For the tags
  • cut 4 tags 2" x 41/4"
  • punch with scalloped tag topper punch
  • stamp and decorate.


Do hop all the way around to check out all the gorgeous and creative projects. It's amazing how different they all are. And don't forget we love to see what you create too, so take a photo and upload it to our Facebook page.
Next on the hop this week is the beautiful Kelly Kent. I can't wait to see what she has created this week. I'm not sure how she is able to produce so many stunners with a young family, but it makes me happy to follow her work.


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...

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu...

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
