CTC#227 FAVOURITE RETIRING BUNDLE

Welcome back to another week for CASEing the Catty. Life has been super busy for me recently but I always love these challenges. This week we are CASEing a favourite retiring bundle. Some bundles are retiring but the individual products will still be available to purchase separately, however they will no longer have the 10% discount which applies to a bundle. SO if theres something you have been wishing for I'd recommend purchasing before the end of May. ( Use the Shop Now button on the right side of the page)
As always with a New catalogue there are casualties- those that did not survive another year. I always have a few, this year there's a lot of favourites going for me so it was hard to decide which one. 



I have used Cake Soiree today because I really love the little roses in that set. You can cut 1 large and 2 small roses, and 2 round and 2 long leaves at one time which is a brilliant feature.

Today's set of little 3 x 3 notecards is very simple and uses only the roses. I was short on time so stamped the leaves from Needlepoint Nook and I love them together.
I used the babywipe technique for some hydrangea type colours. Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.

This week (last night) saw the opening of a gorgeous shop in rockhampton called Our Shop which stocks all handmade items and my cards are in there !!!! (eek).
So this little tin is part of the stock, and perhaps explains why I've been so quiet in recent challenges. Very exciting but super busy!


We'd love to see what you create using your favourite retiring bundle so after you visit all the blog pages for some inspiration please share a photo of your project with us on our Facebook page.



Before me this week is the fabulous Rose, and 
Next on the hop this week is Sandra.


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

cheers, Liz

    Good luck with your new venture Liz, I'm sure these note cards will be very popular. I love how you've used the baby wipe technique to give your roses the colour of a hydrangea, very clever.

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...

500 challenges at CASEing the Catty ' - how fantastic to be involved

What an honour to be invited back to join with the Caseing the Catty team for their 500th challenge! Thankyou Bec for thinking of me. I started with the CTC crew way back at the beginning and I still go to the catalogue as a ready reference for creative ideas. The earliest post I can find is 2014 - CTC#3! 10 years of crafting along, that's pretty amazing. For this challenge it was completely open to choose any project to  CASE from either the annual or the Christmas mini catalogue. There are lots of projects in there that spark a creative journey for me and I did have a hard time choosing. In the end I opted for something simple since none of us have much free time at this hectic time of year. To make things a tad more difficult I have covid so feeling pretty low on energy. Lucky that crafting is a relaxing pastime and I can sit at my craft desk without be scolded too much by my loving DH that I need to be resting! For my projects I have created a Christmas Card and a matching Gift...
