CI#188 May 28

Welcome back for another (LATE) edition of Colour INKspiration #188.

Amidst the renovations and the half packed craft room I had some fun playing with some of the new In Colours 25-27 and a few new products that have been waiting patiently to be used.  I am surprised by how much I enjoy using Timid Tiger! 



This week's picture was chosen by Lou, and it's a great mix of new and existing colours from the range. I had fun playing with these.


We would like to welcome Cez Tolentino as our guest designer this round. Be sure to check out everyone's creations using this palettte on our Facebook page and also on Instagram. 

I have had Cake Celebrations on my shelf for quite a while now and I loved how easy it is to use. Creating the cake was super easy. The Strawberry Slush was stamped off for the cake layers but used full strength for the bands of filling.  Sometimes photopolymer images don's hold the ink well enough for second generation stamping but these ones do it really easily.
I cut the new ribbon in half along the length to give 2 narrow pieces which tied really easily into the bow. 
The background DSP was given a bit of additional texture using the new Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder

I wanted to use a few other new products  and while I had the colours out I also created a few other cards. I played with the new Irresistible Designs Cardstock - white embossed card that you can colour with blending brushes or any other method of adding ink. I used the leaf design on the Coastal Cabana Card. I also love the amazing Textured Notes nested rectangle dies which all have a different detailed border.
 







And finally, I was also playing with the amazing new Extraordinary Washi Tape and the die which cuts all those amazing flowers in one pass on the Cut and Emboss Machine. So for the last card I stamped the cake and then layered it up with a selection of the flowers. Super Easy.

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,...

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...

CTC#100 Presents and Pinecones

Can you believe we are 100 posts young???? Welcome to the 100th post for CASEing the Catty. You may have arrived form Katherine's post or you maybe starting here- Welcome! Be sure to hop around all the participants this week as we take inspiration from the Presents and Pinecones. I've been short of time with lots of commitments- aren't we all too busy?? So I needed a quick card for this week's post - which is perfect as I am planning a stamp-a-stack for Christmas class. It's a very big section of the catalogue but I settled on the gorgeous card on page xxx I have a few different versions using the same layout but different colours and embellishments. Not everyone loves tying bows so I tried to make them very simple. Heat embossing is such a simple way to add instant pizazz. The sparkling emerald Envy embossing powder is fantastic but I would advise definitely using your embossing buddy to minimise the amount of stray glitter, and I would also advise ...
