Bronwyn's 60th Birthday Blog hop #6 inspired by a very Old distinktive dsigns project

Bron's 60th Birthday Blog and INSTA Hop #6 - Tropical Holiday

The theme FOR #6 is "Tropical" to celebrate Bron's actual birthday. - She's enjoying the beautiful Tropical North Qld. Aren't the colours gorgeous in a tropical ocean - that's what I've used for this project. Bermuda Bay, Sahara Sand, Tahitian Tide and Starry Sky.

I have decided to use the tropical colours, but wanted to replicate the very first project of Bronwyn's that I fell in love with. It's from Just Add Ink Challenge #4 - one from the archives, since now they are up to #616!!!

I have always been attracted to a grid layout and I still find lots of visual interest in this project, so I have recreated snippets of it for my shadowbox frame. Pocket Silhouettes was one of my first Stampin' Up! purchases and I still have it and love it, but I used current stamps for this project - Framed Occasions, and Ranunculus Romance. I also used bits and pieces from my stash including shimmer embossing paste, Brads, Buttons, Rhinestones, Dies and a miniature crochet doily (much like Bronwyn's) that an old friend made me years ago. Of course it had to include a butterfly, since many of Bronwyn's projects have butterflies in them

I left the glass out to take the photos but this frame will sit easily on a shelf / table.

Wishing many happy returns to Bronwyn for her big birthday.

I am very grateful for all the inspiration and encouragement she has given so freely over the years. I really hope the tropical holiday has lived up to her dreams.

May your weekend have a holiday vibe too.

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...
