Colour INKspiration #78 Gorgeous pink.

Hello friendly colour lovers! This week's colour palette is very refined - and open to so many different interpretations. Blushing Bride is a very versatile pink but it has taken a back seat recently to the more "peachy" pale pink. 
I have been having so much fun with the brand new Jar Punch and the coordinating self adhesive jars which will be available next week - June 3rd.  They are incredibly easy to use and just so effective.
I have created this card using 3 punches- the jar, the little flower and the sprig punch.
I watercoloured a piece of shimmery white cardstock with only Blushing Bride ink, then I punched out a selection of flowers. These were shaped using the large ball end of the stylus and adhered using foam dots. All the leaves were created using only punches

 
The jars are quite high but they are so effective, and dead easy to use. I have filled mine with a selection of beads, sequins and sparkly bits from various collections around my craft room. I have a few ideas for alternative fillings!!! You can see how high the jars sit off the page- all the better to get  good sequin shaking action happening without everything sticking to the window. - lots of fun.

 It's a very simple colour palette this week. We hope you have lots of fun creating with it too.
 Take care of yourself,

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

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...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used.

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,...
