Happy Easter packaging with CI#119 colours

Happy Easter to you all. Hope it is relaxed and filled with special moments with family and friends.

I have taken the colour challenge this week as inspiration for decorating my little Easter Egg packages. Using isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a few drops of each of the challenge colours, along with a few drops of white shimmer paint (sadly now retired) I mixed up 4 containers and spritzed the egg cartons in a random pattern. Calypso Coral, Magenta Madness, Fresh Freesia and Pool Party made a lovely palette.

Such a fresh and pretty combination.

I decorated 3 boxes with the different colours and also spritzed a sheet of Shimmery White cardstock which I then cut up into 2" strips for the tags. To finish them off I simply added some gold foil by smearing some Tombow glue in lines and swirls on the carton, waited until it was tacky and brushed some gold flakes over the areas with adhesive. If I knew it was this easy I may have been gilding everything in recent times! Such a simple technique.

Originally I was planning to make an Easter card using the fern, feather and butterfly from Positive Thoughts and Nature's Thoughts which are sadly retiring at the end of April. The card never came together as I wanted it to but the elements were still sitting on my desk so I added them to this Easter box.

It is nice to have them as decoration on our Easter Table.

I hope the Easter Bunny found you and that you have had ample chocolate to bring some smiles.

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,...

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.

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...
