CTC#240 CASEing Everyday Occasions from pages 12-71

Welcome back to CTC - it's been a while since I was able to participate so I'm really thrilled to be able to join in. This is a massive section of the catalogue and I wasn't sure where to start so I decided to simply go with one of the images that jumped out at me when I first read the catalogue back in April.
The gorgeous simple line images from Grandma's House appealed to me at first sight. And since time is precious I have made 2 very simple cards using the fabulous Magnolia Lane Cards and More from the beginner brochure. These time savers are such good value at $1.75 each for the card, envelope and printed M&M card.
Grandma's House is on page 28 of the catalogue and one day I will make a shaker card with the cutout around the house but not today!!

I used my Stamp n Write markers in the colours below and a blender pen to colour the images and a watercolour wash to colour the background. It was very relaxing to just sit quietly and colour in.




Of course if you are going to colour one picture you might as well do a few, so with the leftover I made a full size card. None of them have sentiments, I quite like them just plain.



Don't forget we love to see what else you create with inspiration from anything on the pages 12-71 of the catalogue. Pop a photo on our Facebook page and be part of this week's challenge.

Before me this week is Mel and next on the hop is Simone. Be sure and follow the links all the way around the hop for more inspiration.


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

cheers, Liz

  2. The colouring of the images looks great. I love how the background is subtle on the first two cards so that the images stand out even more.

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...

CTC#100 Presents and Pinecones

Can you believe we are 100 posts young???? Welcome to the 100th post for CASEing the Catty. You may have arrived form Katherine's post or you maybe starting here- Welcome! Be sure to hop around all the participants this week as we take inspiration from the Presents and Pinecones. I've been short of time with lots of commitments- aren't we all too busy?? So I needed a quick card for this week's post - which is perfect as I am planning a stamp-a-stack for Christmas class. It's a very big section of the catalogue but I settled on the gorgeous card on page xxx I have a few different versions using the same layout but different colours and embellishments. Not everyone loves tying bows so I tried to make them very simple. Heat embossing is such a simple way to add instant pizazz. The sparkling emerald Envy embossing powder is fantastic but I would advise definitely using your embossing buddy to minimise the amount of stray glitter, and I would also advise ...

CI#04 Jars of Love

Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. Aren't those pansies in the inspiration picture this week just stunning - those gorgeous yellows and strong purples. These are not colours I normally gravitate to but a challenge is all about extending yourself so i'm glad to have had a go! I have recreated a selection of jars with my very favourite Jar of Love set. I have made cards like this before using very bright colours which are fun and very sweet, (and I'll post them tomorrow, so make sure you have filled in the follow by email box on the right side of this page) but today I needed to make a Sympathy card for a good friend who also loves Stampin' Up! It's a card for my work friends to give a colleague so it needed to be big enough for lots of people to sign it.  This card measures 13 x 19cm and I chose this size simply because I had some large envelopes left over from some wedding stationery- they have a little embossed heart on the flap whic...
