CASEing the Catty - #CTC267 Ornate Garden

I am loving the staying at home in isolation for crafting but luckily I am still working Monday to Thursday otherwise I think I would really miss my friends and catch ups for coffee and cake.

You maybe starting the blog hop here, so welcome or you may have come from Sandra Collett.

This week is the second week of being inspired by the flowers of the Ornate Garden Suite.  I have chosen to use the two cards on the left for my inspiration.

I have decided it's time to cut up my designer series paper from the Annual Catalogue and Mini Catalogue and create with them before they all retire with the new Catalogue which will be unveiled to Stampin' Up! demonstrators this week!  It's not too late to join my team and see it first on Friday morning.

My cards both feature the Parisian Blossom Speciality Designer Series Paper, I hope you can see the champagne foil in the close up photographs of the cards, as it's just so beautiful.  I have teamed this up with the Ornate Layers Dies and sentiment from Peaceful Moments and some Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon from the Annual Catalogue (it is just so easy to make bows with).

In Colour 2018-2020 Retiring List Coming Soon

Wow, 2020 is flying by even with all the self isolating, but what better time to spend crafting in our homes and getting our products safely delivered to our homes by the very busy Australia Post workers.

Don't forget that the retirement list from the Annual Catalogue will be released on 24 April and all the In Colour 2018-2020 items will be discontinuing ready for the new colours to be released with the new Annual Catalogue.

A must have is the reinkers for your ink pads, as they disappear very fast once the retirement list is announced and you really don't what to miss out.

Art with Heart Team Creative Showcase - Mother's Day

Welcome to the Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team Monthly Creative Showcase.  The theme for this month's showcase is Mother's Day.  Under the current conditions Mother's Day this year is going to be completely different to any other Mother's Day celebrations.


I have been doing some fussy cutting during the isolation time and I love these beautiful birds from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  I have mounded a piece of the bird cages from the Designer Series Paper and then featured the two birds with a sentiment embossed in white on a strip of Basic Black cardstock for a stand out feature.

The Art with Heart Team are hoping to share a little Mother's Day love and inspiration with you tonight.

Stamp Set:  Tea Together
Cardstock:  Basic Black, Whisper White, Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper
Ink:  Versamark
Accessories:  White Embossing Powder

CASEing the Catty - #CTC266 Create an Easter Card with the Sketch

We are into the Easter Week and it's the second week of Creating an Easter Card with the sketch below.

You maybe starting the blog here, so welcome or you may have come from Monique Fielder.

As we are in different circumstances with the Covid-19 and social distancing our church services have been live streamed via Facebook and whilst watching this morning, this card was being designed in my head and it just came together with ease.  The shades of purple were influenced by the paraments in church which are in lent and the lead up to Easter.

I have used a die from the recently released Ornate bundle as my background to some foliage stamped in shades of purple with the cross being my centrepiece in front of the tomb with the beautiful sentiment of "GOD IS LOVE".

I wish you all a happy and safe Easter week, the world is definitely in termoil, but share some love and #sharesunshine to others in your community and all over the world.

Why not send a card to show that you are thinking of your friends and family even though you are not seeing them in person you are giving them a hug of love in their hand.

Stamp Set:  Hold on to Hope
Cardstock:  Purple Posy, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Very Vanilla
Ink:  Purple Posy, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape
Accessories:  Ornate Layers Dies, Tulip Builder Punch
