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.

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...
