CI#164 Saying goodbye to the 2022-2024 In Colours

Well it's that time of the year again, and we are only a few days from saying farewell to this group of 5 colours. I will definitely miss STARRY SKY - it's been such a pleasure to work with. But that means there are 5 NEW colours coming - and they are just beautiful.

So for this colour challenge we are asking you to use one or more. I managed to use 3 on each card, using the 3D Sweet Citrus Hybrid folder and dies and the Sweet Citrus Stampset. I am sad that these too are retiring. They make such a fun card.

Be sure and check out the inspiration on our Facebook page to see all the projects created by the team. We'd love to see what you create.





The first version uses Tranquil Tide and Parakeet Party. The 3D Embossing folder creates a stunning embossed background. I had applied the base ink using a Blending Brush prior to embossing but added more ink once embossed to the raised leaves and citrus for a deeper effect. I did this for both versions. A few of the larger flowers are diecut from the coordinating glimmer paper for a bit of fun, and the flower centres are Orchid Oasis Matte dots.

The second version uses Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party and the same techniques. The sentiment is heat embossed with white powder onto black, or onto Starry Sky. 

There are a lot of other products retiring. The last day to  order is APRIL 30.  There are some amazing discounts available. Be sure and place your order before they are all gone. You can see all the LAST CHANCE products in my online store here.
Don't forget you will need to order the refill ink for your stamp pad as they will not be available after April 30.

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...
