CTC#249 - decorating with Toile Tidings



Hello again for another week. This week we are CASEing the Toile Tidings Suite pages 6-11.
Rather than CASE a specific project I have a collection of projects which I made for my recent Christmas Class to showcase the beautiful DSP. I had a card in last week's CTC and this week I have some gift bags.
I love the colours of the paper- Real Red, Very Vanilla and Garden Green. And as I said last week I am not so keen on the Northern European winter images, but it's amazing how that is not so significant when the paper is made into projects.

The beautiful mini curved keepsake box is SO EASY to use. I whipped up a bunch of these in no time. I think they make lovely decorations, but I did think they would work really well for an Advent Calendar too. I can see them as gorgeous table decorations. I also did one in plain Red Cardstock, and I quite like the look of the plain version mixed in with the others.
Here's my display from my Christmas card class.


And a card to finish.

I didn't buy the stampset so used sentiments from  a variety of sets.



The other project I made was a gift box which uses half a sheet- 6" x 12"(CASEd from Sam Hammond- pootles- the queen of boxes) from her annual advent countdown aug 30.
here's her measurements:
  • Paper – 6 x 12″ (15. x 30.5cm)
  • Score on the LONG side at 1.5, 5.75, 7.25, 11.5″ (4, 14.5, 18.5, 29cm)
  • Score on the SHORT side at 1.5″ (4cm)
Have a play and see what you can create using that section of the Catalogue for inspiration. We'd love to see your project too, so share a photo on our Facebook page.

Next this week is Julia. Can't wait to see what amazingly artistic project she has this week.



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

cheers, Liz

  2. So many gorgeous projects Liz, you've shown off this DSP perfectly. I wasn't really a fan of this DSP but I think you've changed my mind.

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

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
