CASE-ing the Catty #20 - Blendabilities and Framelits

 This week on CASE-ing the Catty we are taking inspiration from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue and using a combination of Framelits and Blendabilities.

I have used the beautiful Blended Bloom stamp and the sentiment from Lotus Blossom. Don't you just love the colours?  A combination of Daffodil Delight, Strawberry Slush and Melon Mambo.  I have taken some of the lovely SAB ribbon and trimmed carefully down one side, separating the fibers and using the long threads to embellish the front panel.

I liked the colours so much I tried the same layout and colours with the tulips from Lotus Blossom.  I stamped the lightest layer in Daffodil Delight, the next in Crushed Curry, and finally the last layer with Strawberry Slush. 

I am off to make a few more to package up as a set of cards!

I hope you join in the challenge this week, just take inspiration from the Sale A Bration Catalogue with Blendabilities and Framelits, then upload your creation at CASE-ing The Catty.



Happy Stamping

ESAD Annual Catalogue Blog Hop 2014


It is time again for another ESAD Blog Hop to showcase some of the amazing products in the new Annual Catalogue!  You may have come from Keryn's Cards or be just starting at my blog, it doesn't matter, just keep following the links at the bottom of each post to 'hop' to the next blog until you get back to where you started from.  Sit back and enjoy.

 My first card is one I made having seen a similar card on Pinterest, I wanted to use the new in-colours which I think look great with the subtle Pistachio Pudding.  I just love the way the hearts hang down the front of the card. Stamps are from the Work Of Art set which is just so versatile, I am sure you will be seeing more creations using it on this blog hop, and I know you will see more in the weeks and months to come from me.

 Speaking of which ... Here is a second card made using the same basic idea but on the horizontal rather than vertical and with In-colours matching the rainbow to showcase all of the lovely new in-colours, along with Strawberry Slush at the top and Gold at the end of the rainbow!  The hearts on this one have been punched out with the new cute little heart punch.

I wanted to share this card because I just love the colours, Hello Honey pairs so beautifully with Coastal Cabana.  The DSP is from the Lullaby DSP collection, this is a great collection of papers as they have lovely blue tones on one side and pinker tones on the other, making it the perfect stack for both boy and girl cards!  Although it is named Lullaby and is in beautiful pastel shades it is so versatile and can be used for many different occasions.

My final card is possibly my favourite one of the bunch.  Blended Bloom is a beautiful a la carte stamp that is just perfect for colouring with the new Blendabilities alcohol based pens.  Each pen set has three shades and matches with one of the Stampin' Up! colours, this one is Calypso Coral but because of the lighter shades I think it also pairs well with Crisp Cantaloupe.  The pens are great not only for shading, but also for solid colour like around the edge of the Thankful Banner from the Amazing Birthday stamp set.  The DSP on this card is also from Lullaby and shows one of the lovely pink toned papers.

Time to hop on over to Kathryn's blog Katlo Designs to see what lovely creations she has made to inspire.
