Celebrate Mini Album for Social Stamping Blog hop

I created this mini- album as an order for a friend to give to her relative for a graduation but I have never written about it so I thought I would share it in this theme of Celebrations. It uses lots of retired products including Memories and More cards and stamp sets. 
The concertina card is a common style of card I make for big occasions and lots of people to sign. 
The tin was from a collection of post it notes that I found at Spotlight and purchased from the sale bin - not for the post it notes but for the container!



If you hold the ribbon loop and pull it up you get the concertina to open.








The base card is glued into the tin....So you have to be a bit creative with book supports etc when you sign the individual pages, but it adds to the fun!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my project. 

Be sure and hop all the way around the bloghop to see 
everyone's great projects for the celebration theme. Thanks again to Kelly for all her hard work organising this means of sharing.
If you get lost you can link back to Kelly here to see the full list of participants.

Next this week is the very talented Nicole from WA, I love her bright creative style.
And I hope you have something to celebrate in your corner of the world this week.

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

    This is a fantastic keepsake for a Grad, Liz. Something they can hold onto and add photos in the future too. So clever! xx

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. 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.

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...

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...
