Sketch Challenge using Forever Blossoms for World Card Making Day 2021

 It was World Card Making Day this time last week and I had a fabulous day making cards with a group of crafty friends from all over the place, both on line and in person organised by Vicki Wright. There were presentations by 6 designers and sketches to create along with on the day. It was so good to be creating with others. 

This is one of the sketches which was put up on the day but which I only managed to complete later,

I used the beautiful Forever Blossoms set which is one that I should use more often but never get past the good intentions. Thank goodness for the coordinating Cherry Blossoms Dies which cut out the images in a flash




Such a versatile sketch.

Current colours but retired papers, I'm sure we all have those.
The blossoms are stamped onto gray granite and coloured with blends.
You can't see the sparkle from the Wink of Stella - but it is there.

So now it is World Card Sending Week! - not that we really need a reason to send cards since we all know how wonderful they can make the recipient feel.
But let's face it, turning intention into action sometimes takes quite a prompt, so this is a great week to send someone a paper hug in the mail. I've done a few trips already! What about you?


A big thanks to Vicki and her group of demonstrators for organising WCMD2021 activities- it's a massive job and we all appreciate all your efforts behind the scenes.


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

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. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

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...
