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.

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...
