Stampin' Up! Australia - English Garden Designer Series Paper - BEES!

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.

The colour challenge this week had me stumped until I realised that all three colours reside within the  gorgeous pages of the English Garden Designer Series Paper pack.

I chose my favourite page....the BEES!

I also realised that the Mossy Meadow washi tape is HEXAGON patterned....how fortuitous....

Stampin' Up! Australia - Happy Birthday Everyone - English Garden DSP

Hi!

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from Tamsin's blog!

When I sat down to create this card, I had NO idea what I was going to do. So I reached for the first pack of Designer Series Paper and decided to commit to the first one that was on the top of the pile.  It happened to be English Garden and then this set the tone for my card. I used the coordinating colours of the DSP....Old Olive for the base mat, Mossy Meadow for the banner, Blushing Bride for the flower and border strip and Melon Mambo for the greeting.

Here is our sketch for this week....

TIP! The miniature leaves for my flower were punched from Old Olive card stock using the Tree Builder punch....the little teardrop shape! Perfect for little leaves. :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Zoo Babies - CASE-ing the Catty

Hi

At CASE-ing the Catty this week, we are exploring the Baby chapter of the catalogue. 

CASE - The acronym stands for COPY AND SHARE EVERYTHING. The latest Stampin' Up! ® Catalogue certainly encourages crafters to do just that as it is jam packed with amazing, inspirational projects.

The idea is to feature a section of the Stampin' Up! ® catalogue each week using the projects in the catty as inspiration.

You can directly CASE (Copy and Share Everything) or use a sketch/layout, colour combo, embellishment, just to name a few examples, as a springboard for your own creations.


Here's a Badge to paste to your blog:

Guidelines

•   Create a new project for the current challenge (no back linking)

• Mention CTC Challenges in your blog post and link back to the challenge blog so others can join in on the fun.

• Let us know what project you CASED and make reference to the page of your country's catalogue where you got your inspiration. 

• SUO products (retired or current) may be used in your projects for CTC Challenges. 

So let's go!

My card is inspired by the baby 'congratulations' card featured on page 78 of the Annual Catalogue. I thought the Zoo Babies stamp set looked so cute against the Lullaby Designer Series Paper. :)

I liked it so much that I made two of them! One in Blushing Bride and the other in Bermuda Bay. 

The Lullaby Designer Series Paper is really cool since all the designs are double-sided in pink or blue tones.

Here's the original image from the catalogue...

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Chalk Talk - Color Coach Card #26

Elegant Eggplant Card #1

Hi!

Firstly - Happy New Year!! Hope 2014 is a great one for you and your family! :)

Secondly, I've been a bit neglectful of my Color Coach Challenge.... I feel like I haven't got very far with it...so I had better press on and make some cool cards based on its suggestions. 

Here's a card using Elegant Eggplant, Basic Gray and Island Indigo.....using the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #326. This card took aaaaages to come together....I just couldn't make the layers work and so it is slightly different to the original sketch but you get the idea..... The 'stars' panel at the bottom was found in my Basic Grey stash....I always keep little strips like these as you never know when they will come in handy on a card. :)

Hope you like it! It is a little bit different for me....a few layers and bits & pieces. :)

Remember you can buy everything you need to make this card at my online store! Start the year off right and place an order with me! :)

Cheers
