CI#57 INKspired by the New Catalogue

Welcome back for another round of colourful INKspired projects. This is a gorgeous combination - but then anything with Lovely Lipstick is a winner for me!!!  I have been playing with some new stamps from the Brand New Stampin ' Up!  catalogue and was inspired by a project on page 66 using the new Petals and Parcels stamp set.
I first fell in love with the "art deco" style line image in the set, but it tuns out the floral image is just amazing. I noticed the bag first but then the multicolour stamping in the tag caught my eye and once I started stamping I just couldn't stop!!




This was a super quick card to put together once I got my layout chosen, The onlyGranny Apple ribbon I have is reversible with Coastal Cabana but I think it still works. A bright and fun card to make. At the moment I NEED quick cards in my repertoire so this perfect because it satisfied that need for creating an individual look as well as being easy to produce multiples.
I used the cross stitch straight line element from the framelits for a little touch of texture, and the sentiment is from the Darling Label set- so many great stamps in that tin.

I also used the same inspiration for some projects for my catalogue launch and for a swap. It's amazing how different it can look in different colour combinations. I'll be posting those soon.
Next this week is my fellow Qld-er Tanya

Her gorgeous card says my motto most days!

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

cheers, Liz

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects.

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...

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...

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...
