CASEing the Catty #303 the Sale A Bration Catalogue- SIPP using Pretty Perennials stampset

Playing with the fabulous Pretty Perennials set and looking for ways to use it without having the dies or fussy cutting the word Happy- wish there was a die for that! I love SIPP- Stamps, Ink, Paper and Punch.

Of course the Catalogues are great places for inspiration and I was instantly captivated by the card using the postage stamp punch. I love to be able to use products I already own to extend the use of new sets. 




For this card I punched the shapes first and then stamped the flowers off the edge of each,  but you could easily do it the other way around. I felt the white postage stamps were a bit lost next to each other at first so I punched a few more black postage stamp edges and added them to the left side of each stamp. ( also a great way to use us scrapys)
And after I stamped each flower I repeated it on the inside edge to add some fun to the inside.





I love the CTC challenge group and it's nice to play along again. Be sure and check out their Facebook page and all the other inspiring creations there.

This is the card from page 17 of the brochure in the catalogue which has also been CASE'd by Bec this week and by Sandra in a recent challenge


There's some amazing stampsets and papers available as a free item from the Sale-a Bration Brochure when you spend the qualifying amount- $90 in Australia for each level 1 product.

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

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...

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu...

500 challenges at CASEing the Catty ' - how fantastic to be involved

What an honour to be invited back to join with the Caseing the Catty team for their 500th challenge! Thankyou Bec for thinking of me. I started with the CTC crew way back at the beginning and I still go to the catalogue as a ready reference for creative ideas. The earliest post I can find is 2014 - CTC#3! 10 years of crafting along, that's pretty amazing. For this challenge it was completely open to choose any project to  CASE from either the annual or the Christmas mini catalogue. There are lots of projects in there that spark a creative journey for me and I did have a hard time choosing. In the end I opted for something simple since none of us have much free time at this hectic time of year. To make things a tad more difficult I have covid so feeling pretty low on energy. Lucky that crafting is a relaxing pastime and I can sit at my craft desk without be scolded too much by my loving DH that I need to be resting! For my projects I have created a Christmas Card and a matching Gift...
