JAI #597 flowers and patterned paper using Hand Penned

I have had the luxury of having quite a bit of time to be creative this week and have really enjoyed the opportunity to follow along with some favourite challenges and groups for inspiration and ideas.

One of those groups is "the Crafty Carrot" and I participated in their March workshop using Rainbow of Happiness- and it certainly did make me happy!

Jennifer Frost is one of the designers and she has a special interest in "using up your stash" and using past products- which is perfect since I DO have quite a few on my shelves. So this card is CASE'd from her project. I have a few more which I will share soon ( who am I kidding, I have a LOT more !)

The Hand Penned stamp and dies are current - and staying for another year which is fabulous. Same for the Embossing folder and the INcolour Shimmer vellum. Sadly the rainbow dies are not in the new Annual Catalogue which starts on May 2, but I am hopeful that the rainbows will carry over after the end of June when that catalogue finishes.

The ribbon is retired as are the Crystal buttons and the hexagon punch - an oldie but a goodie. I still love stitching buttons onto projects.

To colour my flower I used the Blends ( alcohol markers ) on Crumb Cake cardstock and then coloured over it with a white chalkboard marker - sadly these are also retiring. They are really useful, and add a nice dimension here.

This is Jenn's card, isn't it a beauty.

Thanks for stopping by today, I will share more of my rainbow creations as I have had such fun preparing them

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

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...
