Happy Sunday everyone and Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there! This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing from the brand new Holiday Catalogue. So many great goodies within it's pages, my wish list grew exponentially, I bet yours will too! The section we are covering this week is.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I decided to CASE this card.......<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiapHfsbEpgcD4E3vUVD_ukeSnPshHqNN2LFpN8sfmDICAghvCYtqawOI6LukKn860yXn3JN0Wm9HOCH9RNYkJVQPbiUDSmrZSor15hhJ7ZykUTjOKAbK23r1hGIhloeGRpAvQ0UAazAUE/s1600/ctc194inspo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1100" data-original-width="1600" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiapHfsbEpgcD4E3vUVD_ukeSnPshHqNN2LFpN8sfmDICAghvCYtqawOI6LukKn860yXn3JN0Wm9HOCH9RNYkJVQPbiUDSmrZSor15hhJ7ZykUTjOKAbK23r1hGIhloeGRpAvQ0UAazAUE/s320/ctc194inspo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
That is, the one that the person is holding in the picture. For my version I changed the colour palette and stepped it up a bit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu1TA898o-0ROv_q-MNl1gI5xdqrb2mRxEVU0eIXncnFwndzhR6_s-x7bECHD7f55Xjru2LwiQyPphyphenhyphencBB6x3bLLHq38d1DRrvnEpZJFZlAB5o69_SuARo4ZCyWKoioZUhMl5PiVYiyXs/s1600/ctc194front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1111" data-original-width="1600" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu1TA898o-0ROv_q-MNl1gI5xdqrb2mRxEVU0eIXncnFwndzhR6_s-x7bECHD7f55Xjru2LwiQyPphyphenhyphencBB6x3bLLHq38d1DRrvnEpZJFZlAB5o69_SuARo4ZCyWKoioZUhMl5PiVYiyXs/s640/ctc194front.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
To "step it up", I've added sequin trim and rhinestones, I've dry embossed the banner with the sequins folder and embossed the stamped images on the purple piece with silver embossing powder. My colour palette was a bit not traditional Christmas colours and I went with Lemon Lime Twist, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay.<br />

Hello again! It's a busy night tonight with two blog hops I'm participating in! This one you should be familiar with, as it is our weekly CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. This week we are CASEing.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What to CASE, what to CASE? There are so many possibilities in our gorgeous catalogues, I couldn't decide, that was until I spied this card (bottom, left) using one of my all time favourite stamp sets Painted Harvest.....<br />

.... and we are showing you all things Colour Your Season. Colour Your Season is an exclusive stamp set that has coordinating dies that is only available for a limited time. Also released, was an exclusive set of watercolour pencils, that which I will be showcasing for you today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided that I wanted to utilise the new embossing mats for the Big Shot. These allow you to use your dies as embossing tools rather than cutting, how versatile does that make everything?! Instead of using dies though I've used the masks (stencils). The sample below shows the mask used as it was intended.....</div>

I've used the shimmery white embossing paste, they can also be used by sponging ink through them too. I used the new set of watercolour pencils to colour the image on Whisper White cardstock and then blended with my blender pen.</div>

For the sample above, you can see that the clouds are embossed into the cardstock, I did this with that same mask/stencil with the help of the new embossing mats. If you look closely, you may notice that the clouds do not go across the image. To achieve this I created my own diffuser. For the colouring I used the watercolour pencils on the Smoky Slate cardstock and used the no line technique, blending was done without any water, I just shaded like you would with colouring pencils. Just because they are WATERcolour pencils,doesn't mean you have to wet them!</div>

To do this I stamped the image and cut around it and then used the negative to cut out a thick cardboard diffuser. As you saw the positive was not wasted and used on the first card with the wet embossing.</div>

Here it is loaded up on the Big Shot, the sandwich I have used is -: Base Plate, Blue Rubber Mat, Cardstock, Mask/Stencil, DIY Diffuser. A tip for you!, make sure your diffuser is the right way up, so that when you stamp your image it is in the same orientation. Yes, I learnt from experience! For my next go I actually stamped the image first and that made lining up everything super easy! I just forgot to take another picture, oops!</div>

I also made another card stamping the image with Versamark and heat set with Black Embossing Powder.....</div>

I had a little accident with the Black Embossing Powder on her skirt so instead of throwing it in the bin I stamped her skirt on a piece of DSP and fussy cut it out. Waste not, want not!</div>

Happy Sunday everyone! This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the Nature's Poem section of the Annual Catalogue......<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think the Nature's Poem Suite is my favourite suite out of the catalogue! I think I might have to hide it from myself for my next creation, otherwise, you are all going to get sick of it! Nope, I don't think it's possible to get sick of it, but I will try to change it up for the next one! I just so love the colour palette, the images, the embellishments, the whole lot actually! For my CASE this week I chose this card on page 144.....<br />

I love that log cross section image, it stamps beautifully and looks amazing with the white embossed sentiment on it. The stamp set has coordinating Nature's Roots Framelits Dies, however not for the cross section as it is super easy to fussy cut out. I'm so glad there is framelits for the leaf branches though! They would have taken a while to cut out!<br />

<br />
As you can see I have kept a very similar colour palette but changed up some of the layers and instead of using two pieces of that gorgeous Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper (DSP), for the banner I created my own embossed DSP. The framelits come with a couple of embossing dies, that is they don't cut all the way through but leave a beautiful embossed image. Of course, Stampin' Up! think of everything and you also get outline framelits so that you can also have the embossed images stand alone too, ie the leaves can be cut out.<br />

<li><b>Stamps - </b>Rooted in Nature</li>

It's CASEing the Catty time! Every week a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators love to take inspiration from the gorgeous Stampin' Up! Catalogues (Catties) and CASE (Copy & Selectively Edit or Share Everything) and then share their creations with you via a blog hop. I LOVE CASEing the Catty, it makes coming up with designs so easy to do as there in the catalogue are amazing ideas that you can use as a jumping off point! Each week we CASE a different section of the catty, this week we are taking inspiration from......<br />

At our last OnStage event (conference), one of the many freebies I came home with was the Swirly Frames stamp set (page 137). I love this stamp set as it allows me to showcase other stamp images in a new & fun way. For this reason when I saw the green sample card pictured below I knew this is what I was going to CASE.</div>

How yummy are those colours?! I had to use one of my new favourite stamp sets Stitched All Around with its coordinating Stitched Labels Framelits, those stitched die shapes are to die for and I love the sentiment I have used on my card.....</div>

Well, hello lovelies! It seems like eons since I last frequented blogland or my craft studio. We went away for a family holiday for most of this month and had a super awesome, relaxing time. Breakfast was had on average at 9am, I hardly looked, let alone posted anything on Facebook or Instagram (not even the holiday pics!), so I think I was in need for a big rest and digital world detox!<br />
<br />
I'm super excited to be back, in my craft studio that is, not work! There is lots to catch up on like designing for our next card class, participating in some challenges & getting my order in for the promo's finishing on the 31st! Have you checked out the super offer of Designer Series Paper (DSP) buy 3 get 1 free? I am using DSP so much more in my cards and really want to get some scrapbooking done so I've made sure I've stocked up on all those gorgeous papers. For more information on this offer click the graphic below, only two days to go!<br />

This week for CASEing the Catty we are CASEing (Copy & Share Everything/Edit) from the section....<br />
<br />

<br />
The project I have CASEd this week had a technique that I have been meaning to try for quite a while, you know, so many techniques, so little time! You can find it on page 115 of the Annual Catalogue and here it is here......<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRj1fF6pl3SfQH-IzHwLp7_g9pMlCcLFsXge1ybfVlCMQPXN7rMQikUnURjrrja3qIQKIUonPQCxDQarDllzIWkRy4COxIRy9LezbCJ6SFi6S7HVqPtBebZbOtXQRXmDUadLES9oABsPg/s1600/CTC189inspo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRj1fF6pl3SfQH-IzHwLp7_g9pMlCcLFsXge1ybfVlCMQPXN7rMQikUnURjrrja3qIQKIUonPQCxDQarDllzIWkRy4COxIRy9LezbCJ6SFi6S7HVqPtBebZbOtXQRXmDUadLES9oABsPg/s320/CTC189inspo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I have been wanting to try that technique of melting a nice big blob of embossing powder and then stamping into it, a bit like a faux seal. Very appropriate at the moment as I am reading the Philippa Gregory Plantagenets & Tudor series of books, they are set back in the 16th century and they are fovever writing to each other and sealing there letters with wax and their seal! Here is my CASE....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGSm5-Cuh2aUxBtgy92uD3qjBVmr3KgW1dLQw8IliZEeojshxhqDjXJLrHTGJalS10texSNjTvhQe3J0Om2XWugBG-e2-0gIEpxdUwYjw7l2OsoCJSKpNbZS9Ly7WgZFmFXkaW329aW5g/s1600/CTC189front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1119" data-original-width="1600" height="446" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGSm5-Cuh2aUxBtgy92uD3qjBVmr3KgW1dLQw8IliZEeojshxhqDjXJLrHTGJalS10texSNjTvhQe3J0Om2XWugBG-e2-0gIEpxdUwYjw7l2OsoCJSKpNbZS9Ly7WgZFmFXkaW329aW5g/s640/CTC189front.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Now, don't you think if the people back in the 16th century had seals that said "Do Something Awesome Every Single Day" that they might not have beheaded each other quite so much?! A little more positivity could've made a lot of difference!<br />
<br />
To achieve my molten blob of Silver Embossing Powder I took the Versamark refill bottle and squeezed it directly onto my paper in the desired shape (it doesn't need a thick layer, so don't waste it!). Then, I sprinkled on the embossing powder and heated it until it was liquid-y and while still hot and liquid-y sprinkled another layer of embossing powder and continued that for five layers (maybe four, I lost count). On the final layer while it was still tacky (but not molten hot, I was a bit worried that I might wreck my stamp) I pressed my stamp into the pool of melted embossing powder and held it there until it cooled a bit and then finally lifted up to reveal the sentiment. Voila!<br />
<br />
If you lift your stamp up and you are not happy with the impression, no problems! Just heat it up again!<br />

Hello inky friends! I'm super excited because it's that time of the week for the crew from CASEing the Catty to show you what has inspired us this week from the Stampin' Up! catalogue but also because I'M GOING ON HOLIDAYS!!! I'm going to miss touching base each week here on the blog and I really hope you don't forget about me. I'll be away from the blog for a few weeks as this coming week is going to be full on getting everything packed and the house ready for the sitters. Oh, I wish I could just wiggle my nose like Jeannie (anyone else have a childhood fantasy that they could just wiggle their nose and magic whatever up, like in that old show I Dream of Jeannie? Ok, some of us have held onto that fantasy into adulthood!!)<br />
<br />
We are off on a family holiday to Port Macquarie for two weeks in our caravan. Two glorious weeks of no stress. The boys are planning on getting as much fishing and surfing in as they can (yep, it will be cold but they have those u-beaut steamers that keep them toasty) and Miss P and I will do........ whatever we please! Maybe some walks & bike rides, a spot of shopping here or there, see some of the sights but essentially no set agenda!!!<br />
<br />
As a Mum, I'm really going to treasure this holiday, the kids are getting so much older now, 18 & 16. Before I know it, they will be off doing their own lives but for now, they still are keen to go away with us.<br />
<br />
Now, let's get down to business, the CASEing of the Catty. This week we are CASEing....<br />
<br />

It's a very cool suite this one, and I have purchased the whole suite as there is some holidays that I want to scrap with it and the stamp set is a great unisex set but am I using that today? Nope, sorry, you will have to stay tuned for that! What took my fancy was the cute little card on page 61 that features the little flowers from the Apron of Love Stamp Set & coordinating Apron Builder Framelits Dies.......<br />
<br />

<br />
Super sweet don't you think? I love those little flowers as much as I love the new Designer Series Paper packs that come in all the Colour Collections. The Stampin' Up! sample above, I'm guessing is Old Olive and out of the Regals Collection. I don't have that set yet, notice the yet? I have the In Colour pack and am really loving using it, so the rest of the colour collections are high on my shopping list, notice not wishlist, them babies are coming home to Mama!<br />

For my card I have used the colour combo of Call Me Clover, Daffodil Delight and Lovely Lipstick. The Hello Friend sentiment is from Wood Words stamp set and I have added some Basic Jewels Pearl to the centre of the larger flower dies. The card is a cute size of 6" x 3", actually a smidgy under as I made sure that not only did I get two card fronts out of the DSP but I also got two card bases out of the one piece of cardstock.<br />

Hello everyone! It's Sunday again and time for the CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. This week we are CASEing from the .......<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've CASEd the card in the second row, on the far left, pictured above. Instead of using those gorgeous Delightfully Detailed Note Cards, I've created my own backgrounds using the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Speciality Paper. I did this by laying the beautiful Laser-Cuts over a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and brayered over them with the Sponge Brayers, essentially using the Laser-Cuts as a stencil. The colours I used were Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have used the Detailed with Love Stamp set and the awesome new Detailed Trio Punch to make the decorative corners and round them off on the little white rectangle piece. It's a bit hard to see in the photo but I have also layered some of the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon below the sentiment panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course after creating these cards I was left with the now coloured laser-cut pieces, so waste not want not, I created four more cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made these up as little note cards on Basic Black Cardstock and added some Stitched Shapes Framelits circles, the little Bermuda Bay circle was embossed with the Quilt Top Embossing Folder and the larger Lemon Lime Twist one was stamped with sentiments from the Stitched All Around Stamp Set and decorated with Basic Jewel Pearls that I have colour coordinated by colouring them with my Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blend Pen. Oh, can't forget the cute little bee! He is from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I loved getting the Sponge Brayers out and having a little inky fun and what a quick way to get eight cards made using the Detailed Laser-Cut Speciality Paper!</div>

Hello lovelies! How is it that it is Sunday again! The weeks are just going way to fast, but at least we get to CASE (Copy & Share/Selectively Everything/Edit) the brand new annual catty! This week the CASEing the Catty Crew are taking inspiration from the section Animal Expedition, pages 26 - 37.<br />

How cute are those animals on that Designer Series Paper (DSP)?! I haven't got that paper yet, (definitely on the top of the wishlist though), so I have swapped it for some of the gorgeous Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. This card sketch is great for using up some of the yummy DSP that some of us can be a bit guilty of squirrelling away for a rainy day, as it is too pretty to cut up!! Can anyone relate??<br />

For my Pear Pizzazz banner I have distressed the banner over and over with my bone folder until I could gently peel/split the paper in half to reveal the velvety/distressed effect on the inside. The foliage is die cut from the Sweet Cake Framelits and the sentiment is white heat embossed and from the Label Me Pretty Stamp Set.</div>

I really love the Frames Elements Embellishments, adding a little bit of wood really adds a nice touch I think and you get so many in the pack, great value! To top my embellishment cluster off I have threaded a piece of the Nature's Twine through a True Gentleman Button.</div>

Have I told you how much I love CASEing (Copy & Selectively Edit) the gorgeous Stampin' Up! catalogues (catties)?? It is so much fun and makes it super easy to set about on a creative journey, somewhere to start from, a jumping off point. Often times I think I end up with a finished project that may be in a style that I don't often do ( I do think I am a bit eclectic though, jumping from one style to another!) , or a colour combo I may have never thought to put together.<br />
<br />
This week the CASEing the Catty Crew are CASEing from this section of the catty.....<br />

I've used the Petal Palette Stamp Set and coordinating dies, my emboss resist watercolour background uses the Sheet Music Background Stamp. The colours I've used are Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Grapefruit Grove and I think it was Poppy Parade!! I need to take notes!<br />

Hello lovelies!<br />
<br />
Just stopping by quickly to share with you my entry for the Colour INKspiration Challenge. I am sorry it is a quick post but I'm working again this weekend and I just got home to find out hubbie is taking me out for dinner! Yeah date night! You understand right?! Got to seize the opportunity when it presents!<br />
<br />
This is the colour palette for this challenge......<br />

I decided to pull out the new Pick a Pennant Stamp set and create a long narrow card. Pick a Pennant has coordinating thinlit dies, that makes this stamp set even more versatile. I've not got the dies yet, so have just stamped the images straight onto my matt.</div>

I've used the white tulle polka dot ribbon and coloured it with my Calypso Coral Stampin' Blend to create my own colour coordinated ribbon. The sentiment is from Fairy Celebration.</div>

Exciting times for the CASEing the Catty Crew, a whole new Annual Catalogue to take inspiration from! This week it's free rein, CASE (Copy & Selectively Edit) from anywhere in the new catty! Make sure you have pen & paper at hand as the crew are going to grow those wish lists for you!<br />

I had to pull out the new stamp set, Animal Outing, that I received at OnStage (Stampin' Up's biannual conference). IT IS SO CUTE and it has a kangaroo!! I set about stamping the animal images with Memento Black Ink and then coloured them with Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Up's alcohol markers. These alcohol markers are awesome, I've used other brands before (i.e C#P*C) and our alcohol markers are comparable in quality but better than the others as ours have better shaped nibs. One end is a brush nib (same as) but the other end has a much more practical bullet nib. Due to their popularity they were out of stock for a moment but are back in stock now AND come mid June, a whole heap of new colours will be added to the collection.<br />
<br />
Once, I had my images coloured it was time to find a project to CASE that I could incorporate my coloured images. Flicking through the catalogue, I happened across page 136 and thought perfect as I could also incorporate another free stamp set that I got at OnStage, Swirly Frames AND the new In Colour 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP). Winner, winner.......<br />

The Swirly Frames Stamp Set coordinates with the Layering Circles & Layering Squares Framelit Dies so cutting out is a cinch.<br />

Happy times! The new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue has just been released to the public as of the 1st June. Have you made your wish list yet? Mine gets longer every time I flick through the catalogue! The catalogue is available online and can be downloaded as a PDF or if you would like a hard copy (something to pop on the bedside table and peruse as you wind down from the day) give me a hoy!<br />
<br />

For this blog post I am participating in a blog hop with twenty-seven other demonstrators who are all members of the ESAD Facebook group, that means lots and lots of inspiration for you! Make sure you have pen & paper beside you as I'm pretty confident that after seeing everyone's fabulous creations that you will need to add a item or two to your wish list!<br />

For my project, I wanted to showcase the fabulous new stamp positioning tool, the Stamparatus. Quite a few of my customers have been counting down the days until the 1st of June, so that they can get their very own. We have been using my Stamparatus (that I got in the pre order) in card class and once someone uses it, they want one for themselves!<br />

I really wanted to give the Round & Round Technique a go that I saw demonstrated by Alison Okamitsu, Alison's YouTube video can be viewed <a href="https://youtu.be/mmT5uB42e3Y" target="_blank">HERE</a>. For my card I enlarged the square templates to four inches square.<br />

This is the base of my card before I added the embellishments so you can see exactly how the technique ended up. Doesn't it look a bit like looking into one of those kaleidoscopes that we had as kids?! This technique is great for making wreaths out of your foliage stamps! Using this technique has them perfectly spaced out.<br />

I've used the new stamp set Rooted in Nature, if you like the existing Lovely as a Tree stamp set, you are going to LOVE Rooted in Nature, oh so many beautiful images. It also has coordinating framelits, Nature's Roots and is a part of the gorgeous Nature's Poem Suite. Everything in this suite you need, take my word for it, the Designer Series Paper, the trinkets, the twine, all combine to create gorgeousness!!<br />

I've also used the Detailed Trio punch AGAIN! It's definitely one of my favourite new products! A little sparkle is achieved with gold heat embossing, sequins and gold thread. The gold die cut is from the Little Loves Framelits.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's Sunday! Time for the CASEing the Catty Blog Hop! We are a group of demonstrators who love to take inspiration from the beautiful catalogues that Stampin' Up! produce. We CASE (Copy & Selectively Edit) the gorgeous projects within the pages of these catalogues to create our own works of art. It may be simply CASEing the colour palette, the layout or even just one element. It doesn't really matter what you choose as long a you are inspired and find a starting point for your own creation. Sometimes, the hardest thing is the starting, CASEing makes that so much easier!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Choices, choices, choices....... there are so many gorgeous projects in the current catalogues, which to pick as my favourite, that I haven't already done?! Then I laid eyes on page 58 of the soon to be retiring Annual Catty and there it was, the project I have been meaning to getting around to.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love the idea of making home decor pieces, I just often run out of time to do them! This week I CASEd that gorgeous framed piece in the photo above, with a little bit also CASEd from the card beside it. A blend of the two!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've used a piece of DSP from the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper for the backing piece. It is Marina Mist in colour and will be sadly the last time I use this gorgeous colour as it is retiring. Don't worry though, my sadness is short lived as there is a whole swag of new colours coming in on the 1st June!! I just finished reorganising my card stock with the new colours included and the old ones out, it looks so pretty. I can't wait to start experimenting with new colour combinations!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The colours I have used in my balloon are also CASEd from the Sweet Soiree DSP, it's such an easy way to pick colour combos when you choose them from the colours in a DSP range. The balloon die cut is from the Up & Away Thinlits, it's been cut out three times, folded in half and then stuck together to create the 3D effect. I'm so happy the thinlits and coordinating Lift Me Up Stamp Set are going through to the new catty.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The typography uses the existing and continuing on to the new catty, Letters for You Stamp Set combined with the new Make a Difference Stamp Set. The Make a Difference Stamp Set is super easy to line up as it is photo-polymer but also is very forgiving even if you don't line it up 100% as it just looks natural like handwriting. I used my Stamparatus to perfectly line up the FLY, best product ever!!! If you don't already have a Stamparatus ( the best, hands down, stamp positioning tool on the market) it's only days away before you can order your very own.

Hello everyone! I do hope you have had a great start to your week. I'm dropping by to share with you a card I made for the Just Add Ink Challenge. This weeks theme is.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Eclipse Technique is a lot of fun and looks really cool. I think there is a couple of different versions around but for my card I stamped the bees from Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set onto the the whisper white mat piece and then cut out the letters with the Large Letter Framelits. Extra letters were cut out in black with the large letter framelits and glued on top of each other with the final top layer being the whisper white piece with the images stamped onto it. I think I did about six layers. I really love the effect of part of the stamped images being raised up and some flat.<br />

The "Happy" sentiment is from the soon to be retiring Number of Year Stamp Set, don't miss out on this set and its coordinating Large Number Framelits they go perfect with the Large Letters and are essential for all those number birthday cards. I've white embossed it onto Basic Black and punched out with the Classic Label Punch. The die cut bee is from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits that coordinates with the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set.<br />

We really need to stop meeting this way! I know, I'm back again for the second time tonight but when you are on a run you just got to keep going with it. Seriously though, let's not stop meeting this way 😉.<br />
<br />
I had an absolute blast the other day with my Lovely Floral Embossing Folder, I just kept grabbing all different types and colours of papers and ran them through the Big Shot using all sorts of different techniques. I ended up with seven different versions.<br />

Please excuse the quality of the above photo, it is night time now and I realised it would be good to share with you the other versions but the lighting now stinks! As you can see some I coloured after with a dauber, some I inked the Embossing Folder up on the debossed side and embossed side and some I used Versamark Ink and then heat embossed with Embossing Powder. It was SO much fun, experimenting!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I then ended up with all these great images and needed a sketch/card design that I could use them with and whip up a whole lot of cards! Thankfully for me I came across Freshly Made Sketches sketch of the week and it was perfect for all my embossed pieces.<br />

Now, I haven't had time to turn all the pieces into cards (I had to work this weekend 😏) but I did get time to turn my favourite experiment into a card.</div>

For this one, I simply embossed Whisper White Card Stock with the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder and then ran my Versamark Ink pad very lightly over the embossed image and sprinkled with Silver Embossing Powder and heat set. The DSP is from the Share What You Love Speciality Designer Series Paper and the sentiment is from Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set.</div>

Why hello! We meet again! It's that time of the week for the CASEing the Catty Crew to share with you their projects inspired by the beautiful work found in our amazing catalogues (catties). We love to CASE (Copy & Selectively Edit) projects from the catties to create our own creations and share them with you via a blog hop. So make sure once you've finished reading my blog that you hop on over to the next and the next and the next by clicking the links at the bottom of each person's page.<br />
<br />
This week we are CASEing from.......<br />

My favourite kit from the annual catty is the Hello Friend Heat Embossing Project Kit (pg 17). I thought it was a great idea of Stampin' Up's! to offer a kit with a little bit more than just stamping and help new crafters to expand their repertoire to include heat embossing. The stamp set, Hello Friend that coordinates with the kit is stunning too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose to CASE the whisper white card in the middle of the picture below as I love the technique of using heat embossing to resist a watercolour overlay.</div>

To change it up, instead of using the Hello Friend Stamp Set, I've used the new Rooted in Nature Stamp Set, soon to be released in the new catty coming out June 1st!<br />

I embossed the leaves with White Embossing Powder and then washed Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove (both exciting new colours to the range) and Calypso Coral over top of it. The leaves are from the coordinating Nature's Roots Framelits Dies and cut out in the new Call Me Clover Card Stock. The flower is from the Flourish Thinlits (carrying over to the new catty) and the sentiment is from the new Detailed with Love Stamp Set.</div>

You would think this would be a hard task, picking your favourite project from the entire catalogue, but it was super easy for me. I have had the Coffee Cafe bundle on my wish list for the whole year (it is also on Miss P's wish list, so I better see some things made with it! My guess is this months RAK card recipients might get something created with this set!). As much as I wanted it, other things needed to be purchased, you know how it is with a wish list a mile long! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily for me (us), the Coffee Cafe Stamp Set and coordinating Coffee Cups Framelit Dies are </div>
going through to the new catalogue, starting June 1st (you are going to love it!!). However, when a bundle (stamp set & coordinating dies/punch sold together for a 10% discount) graduates through to a new catalogue, it is no longer bundled. Therefore, if there is a bundle that you have been umming & aahing about, you need to get it now! Otherwise you may totally miss out when it retires or if it goes through to the new catalogue, miss out on a 10% discount. In saying this, the Coffee Cafe bundle arrived this week and I had to have a play with it!<br />

For this card I have water coloured the coffee cup image using the no line method. For this method, you stamp the image with a really light coloured ink (I stamped Sahara Sand, stamped off) and then water colour right up to that stamped edge so that it blends in with your colouring. I love how this technique makes you look like an artist. For those not in the know, it looks like you have painted the whole thing! I also love the softness of the image.</div>

I have loosely CASEd (Copy & Selectively Edited) the card on the far left of the image above. I did say loosely! I got a bit carried away when the idea of no line colouring popped in my head. At first I was drawn to this card as I don't have any of the matching Designer Series Paper and liked how they had used the little coffee bean stamp to make DIY paper. I also incorporated a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, so happy this is continuing onto the new catalogue.</div>

Oh boy! My eldest has just turned 18! I'm far too young to have an 18 year old 😉!! Every year the kids look forward to the greeting card I make them as it is always something a bit more special. For an 18th I needed to pull out all stops but was at a bit lost as to what to create...... that was until I saw the card made for Jacque Williams' Million Sales Milestone! Sara Douglass, our CEO for Stampin' Up! posted a few pictures of the most amazing card on her Facebook page and I knew immediately that it was "the one" to CASE (Copy & Seclectively Edit) for my daughter's 18th birthday card. To see the original made by somebody awesomely talented at home office <a href="https://www.facebook.com/asarathing/?hc_ref=ARSdTC6k7sDmzEDcKLe5_x87tXNhJk_XR8a8zo-9134o9JxOFKTdtv62Ob6OgwbwtWs&fref=nf" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> and scroll down to the entry on the 16/17th April.<br />
<br />
This card fits the Just Add Ink challenge this week wonderfully as the theme is Just Add "O". My card fits the brief with its Opulence, Opals, Ovals & Orange (Grapefruit Grove).<br />

Most of the supplies I have used are from the Share What You Love Suite, that is available to everybody as an early release before the new catalogue comes out in full force June 1st. You can get this whole suite now, believe me when I say, you want it! There are so many little details on my card that you will be reading forever if go through every single detail, if you get stuck and want to know something please don't hesitate to contact me and ask. One thing I will talk about for the closed front of my card is that amazing, lush, Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon, I want twenty rolls of the stuff as I never want to run out of it! Oh and I also need to tell you how much I love the new Pearlised Doiles, one side is pearly and the other plain, so perfect for colouring whatever colour you wish or in this case have the special pearly side on show.<br />

This is the first section of the card after you untie the ribbon closure and open the first flap. The Grapefruit Grove looks amazing alongside the Rich Razzleberry, don't you think? Grapefruit Grove is one of the new In Colours coming out on June 1st, it's very yummy! As you can see, I've whipped out the sewing machine and stitched around the right hand side, stitching makes a wonderful addition to cards. I also love the cute little tab from the Tabs for Everything Stamp Set and coordinating Circle Tab Punch.<br />
<br />

That little tag I have attached to the flowers is from the Bouquet Bunch Framelits and coordinating Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set. It is the cutest and handiest little tag, I've used it many times in my projects to add another little element. I'm so glad it is going through to the new catalogue.<br />

This is the card fully open. We wrote our birthday message on the middle distressed piece of Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper and the gorgeous opalescent piece to the right is going to have a family photo we took to commemorate her 18th mounted on it. Such as shame to cover most of it up but I think the family photo we took is a keeper!<br />

I asked my son (16) to write his own message in the card and he was reluctant to do it and struggled with the task a bit until he finally came up with what he wanted to say. I won't share with you what he wrote but lets just say it brought his sister to tears and I think showed him that a little bit of effort and thoughtfulness can go a long way! We are so lucky to have great kids who for 99% of the time get on great.<br />

I had so much fun making this card, making special & OTT cards is very satisfying, especially when you see the recipients face upon opening. It makes the hours it took to make seem like nothing.<br />

Good morning lovelies! Just a quick post before I duck off to work to share with you a card I made. This card is for my amazing massage therapist who is about to get married, she is the "bees knees" if you ask me and deserves a beautiful card to wish her well (I seriously recommend her so if you live on the Sunshine Coast, message me & I'll give you her details 😉).<br />

So proud of myself, I cut into that huge piece of Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper to create this card (I think I was only able to do it as SU! were so generous with the paper and you actually get four pieces of each design. Check back with me when I've only got one piece left, bet you I won't be quite so brave!!).</div>

For the Night of Navy diagonal strip I've embossed it with one of the Petal Pair Embossing Folders and edged it with gold foil. The gold embossed leaves on Pink Pirouette are from the soon to be released Rooted in Nature Stamp Set & die cut with the Nature's Roots Framelits Dies. The teeny flowers are from the Apron Builder Framelits.</div>

Oh! I almost forgot the most important part, the sentiment! I love, love, love the new Make a Difference Stamp Set as it allows you to make up your own sentiments. It is really forgiving with the lining up of the letters too as it is photo polymer and has a cursive design .</div>

Hello again! Hope you didn't miss me?! It's a busy night tonight with two blog hops. I'm popping in again to share with you this weeks CASEing the Catty design. The theme for this week is......<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmmnY-NJ1_SAs-D81WUVSysJs5_hBvQ2qYHbpLSyQiEUQjv2PUgLaEdK9TGFHDWJvCFFvA3suCH_06i5HkXV_JPbH-ISghQlG2rK_hJKELi9eatGVHF9uX0C2D4HilY7Byg9tl-vzPmM/s1600/CTC176banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEmmnY-NJ1_SAs-D81WUVSysJs5_hBvQ2qYHbpLSyQiEUQjv2PUgLaEdK9TGFHDWJvCFFvA3suCH_06i5HkXV_JPbH-ISghQlG2rK_hJKELi9eatGVHF9uX0C2D4HilY7Byg9tl-vzPmM/s320/CTC176banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Woo hoo! Free reign! Any Occasions Catalogue project to CASE (Copy & Selectively Edit). I thought back to when I first had the Occasions Catalogue in my hands and remembered how excited I was to see the Brusho Crystal Colours, I quite like Mixed Media supplies and this was something new and exciting to play with and on that very same page, a gorgeous stamp set, Beautiful Day that looks fantastic embossed and then coloured with the Brusho's. This is the sample from in the catalogue (card on the left)....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here is my CASE......<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My example is stepped up a little with the Sheet Music background stamp. I have also tweaked it a little as I am not a fan of the ribbon/twine going around the whole card front (don't ask me why, it looks perfectly fine on anyone else's project, I just can't seem to do it to my cards!) and I've also moved the sentiment to the bottom. That's the whole idea of CASEing, using another artwork as a jumping off point and making it your own. Now on that note, CASEing does also stand for Copy & Share Everything, it is perfectly fine to copy something pretty much exactly the same, as long as you give credit where credit is due!<br />
<br />
As always we would love for you to join in on the challenge fun, this week would be perfect to join us for the first time as you can CASE anything from the whole Occasions Catalogue! Just click the graphic below for more info......<br />

Hello there! Hope you have had a fabulous week, I can't believe we are almost into May, where has the year gone?! I'm popping in to share with you a card I have made for the ESAD Retirement List Blog Hop, if you are starting with me, WELCOME! or you might be well into your journey and have just hopped on over from <a href="https://chezzakayewandellagal.blogspot.com.au/2018/04/esad-2018-retirement-list-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">Cheryl Algie's</a> blog. </div>

Yes, a new Annual Catalogue (catty) is about to start on the 1st June, which means that we have to say goodbye to some much loved products (sigh) but that's ok I got over it pretty quick when I saw the new catalogue and my wishlist began to grow and grow and grow!! Make sure you don't miss out on any items you may have on your wishlist and haven't purchased yet. Click on the graphic below to see the list.......</div>

This time last year, when the current annual catty came out, there was a suite of products that caught my eye with its bright pop of colours and quirky, eclectic images, Pick a Pattern. It makes really fun projects! Today I have a bit of a mixed media (aka messy fun!) card for you.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXGGk73jKb1qFCMkXnOrkB718tbe84aMDGrNPmDsvjxtynLXFzu9pDZdBAd6Jooet4F_kYLmVAyTJE2eB5Gym-Pqs8UT81juyLa58nyPPswqBNjTkxEJ8fBauFDaFW5Gh073ZBTMCZVi8/s1600/ESAD0418front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXGGk73jKb1qFCMkXnOrkB718tbe84aMDGrNPmDsvjxtynLXFzu9pDZdBAd6Jooet4F_kYLmVAyTJE2eB5Gym-Pqs8UT81juyLa58nyPPswqBNjTkxEJ8fBauFDaFW5Gh073ZBTMCZVi8/s640/ESAD0418front.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I firstly started by spritzing some Flirty Flamingo onto the Shimmery White piece and then spread some Silver Embossing Paste in a thin layer on top of that. I then opened up the Sparkle Embossing Folder and pressed the embossed side (bumpy side, pattern sticking up, not the debossed (smooth) side ) into the paste. I love doing mixed media type techniques like this as you never know what the result is going to be. We did this card in class last night and everyone's was slightly different, with some really cool results.<br />
<br />
One of the Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper pieces was scalloped using the scallop die out of the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, this die alone is worth purchasing this set! The "Hello There "sentiment from the Pieces & Patterns stamp set is so much easier to stamp now with the Stamparatus.<br />
<br />
The Stamparatus makes it so much easier to go back and stamp another layer of ink in exactly the same place to build the colour up. In case you haven't heard, Stampin' Up! have developed their own stamp positioning tool and it is the bomb! I had another brand before it's release and let me just say, I'm not sure where that old one has got to as it is not nearly half as good as the Stamparatus! Customers who didn't manage to secure one in the pre-order release can purchase one when the new catalogue comes out June 1st. Click the image below to see a YouTube video explaining how it works and let me know if you would like me to get you your own on June 1st.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3teCr7Xo4G8&t=601s" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNwJ7hG-t97C2oZqdgg9wMbHpErTMOxWBWq1IA5PeQthAAeI6r2SEO5vfdtbSaBKjTS22dd4bKa3A10Ond2g9MJFfPgqSO-2sQtJOifParbKmipf8xFcCdUKbI0qy34vxCsZhOOc46Onc/s320/11.16.17_SHAREABLE2_STAMPARATUS_SPEUENG.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The inside of the card also relieved some love.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqf2ZTEA1sIF8vmO3aKIlDfm8aIonjNwgF0M4mRmfrBGH2UxYk0uI6rnbuObMdjmxUZIJyVFykKnI-4jMH7ZXzbIQtlDVquL-m7WHvIqHcz5tCkHk6ye3Qnv3hszMMLbNEL-imvznLiNA/s1600/ESAD0418inside.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1043" data-original-width="1600" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqf2ZTEA1sIF8vmO3aKIlDfm8aIonjNwgF0M4mRmfrBGH2UxYk0uI6rnbuObMdjmxUZIJyVFykKnI-4jMH7ZXzbIQtlDVquL-m7WHvIqHcz5tCkHk6ye3Qnv3hszMMLbNEL-imvznLiNA/s640/ESAD0418inside.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Another example of how awesome the Stamparatus is, is demonstated on the inside of my card. See that row of little flowers? The actual stamp is only four flowers long. The Stamparatus' unique hinge feature allows you to move your stamp along in perfect alignment, no more wonky lining up, it does it for you. It's a bit hard to explain in words how this is achieved, the easiest thing would be for you to watch that YouTube video I linked above 😉. The finishing touches are a piece of Pick a Pattern Washi Tape and some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.<br />
<br />
Enough from me! You need to keep going and see what everyone else has to show you. Your next stop is Beryl Crisp, click the arrow below and you will magically hop on over to her blog! Also, if you get lost along the way, there is a list of all the participants for you at the end of my post, you can also click on a person's name there and be magicked over to that blog.<br />

Good morning! I'm just popping in before I head off to work to share with you my latest creation that I made for the Just Add Ink Challenge. This week we were given a photo to use as inspiration....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Don't you just want to be in that room?! All the rustic wood played a bit part in my design and thinking about the landscapes that this particular room might be located at brought to mind woodland creatures & in particular a fox!<br />

<br />
How happy are we all, that the gorgeous Wood Textures Designer Series Paper is continuing on to the new catalogue!? I've used the Tailored Tag Punch to punch various pieces out for my background. The metallic leaves are dies from the new Nature's Poem Suite that will soon be available in the new catalogue starting June 1st, it is a must have suite! I was also so happy to get out my Foxy Friends Stamp Set & it's coordinating punch, for my foxy little friend, so cute!<br />

Hello lovelies! How are you today? I have had a great weekend I got so much done yesterday designing cards for our upcoming class and also getting some challenges in too! I love challenges as they get me creating a whole lot more. Are you feeling guilty about all those supplies that you aren't using enough? Why not try a challenge? I started by trying to commit to one per week and gradually built it up to sometimes entering two or three a week. No more guilt on my part, my supplies get well used! Also, there used to be a time that it would be someone's birthday that we would be going to that day and you would find me rushing around like a chook with my head cut off, (yeew! that was rather graphic wasn't it? Particularly coming from a vego!) trying to get a card made (as I refuse to buy a card when I have the ability to make one and like a meme that one of my lovely team members Bronwen posted -"A handmade card is like a hug with a fold in the middle!"). Now, I always have plenty of cards on hand for whatever occasion that pops up.<br />
<br />
This week we are CASEing (Copy & Selectively Editing) from the ..........<br />

So that means any Big Shot project from within those glorious pages of the Occasions Catty. I have just purchased the Apron of Love Bundle, oh so cute and my fave at the moment, that is until the next delivery from Stampin' Up arrives! It's perfect for male & female cards and also has some adorable options for the Baker, Crafter or BBQ King/Queens that we know.</div>

I've done two versions of the card, one suitable for Mother's Day and one suitable for giving to a friend. The mum version is done CAS (Clean & Simple) and the friend version has been distressed (this came about after an inky finger accidentally smudged my perfect white label, there are no mistakes in crafting, just creative opportunities!).</div>
