CASEING THE CATTY C176 - FAVOURITE 2018 OCCASIONS CATALOGUE PROJECT

Sunday 29 April 2018 Welcome to this week's CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. Our inspiration this week comes from the Occasions Catalogues - our Favourite Project! You may have arrived here from Mel's gorgeous blog if you're hopping along already. If you started here, welcome and please make sure to visit all the Design Team's blogs, the next button at the end of this post will take you on your journey. My inspiration this week came from the same page as last week - 22. I've chosen to CASE the card in the middle and have kept it very similar. I really enjoyed making this card, probably because I love this Petal Palette stamp set and it's in my colours! I stamped the floral image in Basic Black Ink onto a piece of Watercolor Paper then coloured it using the inks and an Aqua Painter. Best Wishes was embossed with White Emboss Powder and cut with a co-ordinating...

You may have arrived here from Megan's delightful blog if you're hopping along already.

STAMPIN' DREAMS BLOG HOP - FAVOURITE DSP

Thursday 19th April 2018 Hello and welcome to this month's Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Angela Meiritz-Reid from Christchurch, New Zealand. If you are hopping with us today you may have arrived from my lovely friend Lou Kitzelman's lovely blog or if you are just starting here there's a list at the end of this post to continue on the hop. I hope you enjoy the card I've created using my favourite DSP. The Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper has been my favourite since the moment I saw it. I just love fresh colours and crisp designs! I layered a piece of Night of Navy cardstock embossed with the Sparkle folder onto the card base then punched some of the DSP using the Tailored Tag Punch. I wanted to use the border of one of the stamps in the Truly Tailored stamp set I coloured it using the Night of Navy marker then stamped Happy Birthday in the middle. Happy Birthday is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set. A p...

CASEING THE CATTY 174 - HOSTESS SETS & MEMORIES & MORE

Sunday 15 April 2018 Welcome to this week's CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. Our inspiration this week comes from the Hostess Sets and the Memories & More products featured in the Annual and Occasions Catalogues. You may have arrived here from Judy May's delightful blog if you're hopping along already. If you started here, welcome and please make sure to visit all the Design Team's blogs, the next button at the end of this post will take you on your journey. I was inspired by the tag in the middle photograph and I love making thank you gift tags to go with my customer orders. The tag has been created using a card from the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack and the Lots of Labels Framelits Dies with a hole punched in the top for a piece of Berry Burst Finely Woven Ribbon. I cut two of these labels and glued them together. The leaves is a sticker also from the Card Pack - how easy is t...

OSAT POCKET FULL OF POSIES BLOG HOP

Thursday 12 April 2018 Hello and welcome to my blog. This month the OSAT team are showcasing projects with the theme "Pocket Full of Posies"! You may have arrived here from Sara's gorgeous project or if you have just started you can navigate through the hop by clicking on the links of the other design team members at the bottom of this post. As the theme for this month's blog hop suggests more than one posy I decided my projects needed lots of flowers rather than just one bunch so I covered my card front with lots of the floral sprays cut from the Petals & More Thinlits Dies. I glued these on a piece of white cardstock then trimmed them down where they overlapped the edges. This was then mounted onto another piece of slighter larger cardstock before being adhered to the Powder Pink card base. A piece of co-ordinating Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon and a swirl of Gold Metallic Thread are attached under the sentiment ...
