CI#55

Welcome back for another round of Colour INKspiration - #55!!!
I've been struggling to find time to participate lately but couldn't let another round go by so I'm very happy to be able to join in this week with this fun crazy vibrant colour palette.
You can choose 3 or more and this is my selection:


I've made a fancy fold and was inspired by Shannon at CASEing the Catty. She very kindly put all the measurements in her blog and because I was short on time it made it very easy to pull a card together. Folded flat it fits in a regular envelope but will sit nicely for display once open.

I took a few elements from the inspo pic for the card- the swirly bedhead inspired the cutout leaf edge, and the black spots on the coastal cabana cushion inspired the spotted embossing folder and highlighting the spots with Gray ink. The clouds on the bedspread reminded me of the retired Coastal Cabana DSP. I was keen to include a birdcage but came up short there at this point.


The flowers are a sneak peak from a new set coming called Floral Essence. There aren't any framelits for the floral shapes but I think I am going to use it a lot. It reminds me of a retired set called Penned and Painted which I also loved. I heat embossed the flowers in silver on Shimmery White and then coloured them using the aquapainter and Razzleberry, then fussy cut. The leaves are heat embossed using silver and simply punched out using the fabulous leaf punch . I love it when SU create new sets to use existing punches. I also used one of the floral images to decorate the inside of the card, then sponged a little coastal cabana around to soften the edges.

I have used Shannon's very easy instructions from the CASEing the Catty bloghop last week. You'll find her instructions here

Next this week is Cathy


Do be sure and hop all the way around for loads of inspiration using this great colour palette.
 Then you can create one too and share it with us on our Facebook page.  You don't need a blog- just a photo! Too easy

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

cheers, Liz

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

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,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
