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

  5. 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.

Rolled paper roses Frames

Two new Frames for the Handmade Expo Markets this weekend. These are hand rolled vanilla paper roses, with newsprint DSP in the red version. Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, 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
