CTC#223 Classic Garage goes feminine

Welcome back for another week CASEing the Catty. This is a very exciting week for demonstrators as its almost ONstage (which is bigger than Christmas to a 5 year old in my book). The big event is in Auckland and I'm so fortunate to be going along and joining lots of other amazing demonstrators to share ideas and techniques and laughter. I'll have some amazing news and info about the coming catalogue to share after the event.....


But on to this week's card. The Classic Garage suite has been hugely popular because there are relatively few sets that lend themselves so well to Masculine cards. But this set is packed with very flexible images and great colours.
The Paper, stampset and embellishments in this set are all amazing. But would you believe I have still gone with a feminine twist on this set?



The gorgeous classic cars are very easy to fussy cut and you get a lot of cars from one sheet of paper. I did make a few masculine cards but was really happy with how this matched some feminine paper. The cute little key just sets it off.



I always like to decorate the inside with some of the leftover strips of DSP just to finish it off.

Next on the hop this week is the beautiful, and beautifully talented Julia

Don't forget we love to see what you create using the pages for this suite as inspiration. Take a photo of your project and share it with us all on our Facebook page.


I'm off to enjoy the kiwi hospitality - and maybe some wine from the Napier region!!! 

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

cheers, Liz

    These are so different to everything else I've seen made with this suite and I love that. You've softened them but certainly not lost any of the cool factor.

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
