CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC.
This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite.
I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!)
I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with.

This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments.
Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.


Beginner Crafter - very simple stamping and minimal supplies -

  • 1 colour of Cardstock (Thick Whisper White)
  • 1 ink colour
  • sequins
  • black baker's twine
  • TOOLS - fine tip glue 


Casual Crafter - one added layer plus bigshot detailed cutting
  • 1 colour of Cardstock ( thick Whisper White) 
  • Serene Scenery DSP
  • 2 ink colours plus  and third colour from the DSP
  • fine tip Project Life Journalling pen
  • sequins
  • TOOLS- fine tip glue, paper trimmer, Big Shot and thinlits

Avid Crafter -
  • 2 colour of Cardstock (thick Whisper White and Black) 
  • Serene Scenery DSP

    Awesome cards. I love your step it up style and I hope to give that a go one day. It looks so great. My favourite card is the one with the doodled edges. That looks amazingly!

    Such a great idea Liz, stepping your cards up. I struggle to make 1 card let alone 3, but I have to say they all look great!

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
