A few of my favourite things from the new Holiday Catty - Good Tidings - Take 2

More of a good thing!  Using the same favourites from yesterday's post, today's card is a snap to put together, so perfect for making a stack of Christmas cards to send, but darling all the same.  So again, the featured new products from the Holiday catty are:  Good Tidings stamp set and Merry Music Specialty dsp!  I also used cherry cobbler cardstock, the lots of labels framelits (again!), a SU lace doily AND a tranquil tide bitty bow from the Annual Catalog (comes in a current in colors pack...they are SO adorable!)

As an aside, I think Tranquil Tide, one of this year's new in colours is a perfect 'green' for Christmas crafting, don't you?!  I like how it has a bit of blue in it...feels just right!!

This card is one of my make & takes for this month's workshops:)

A few of my favourite things from the new Holiday Catty - Good Tidings - Take 1

For the next few things, I'm going to get ahead of the season and post some Christmas projects in honour of the NEW Holiday catalog just released!

Today's project (and those I'll share over the next few days) use some of my favourite new items from the Holiday Catalog including:
- Good Tidings stamp set...my FAVOURITE new stamp set in the catty!  I luv the way you can add dimension and a real artistic feel to a project using the holly and berry images and 3 step stamping!
- Merry Music Specialty Paper - my FAVOURITE new dsp in the catty!  And, yes, though the black and white words on the dsp above do not contain music, they do come from that pack, which is mostly music but has a few other patterns thrown in for versatility also.  Versatile, that's exactly what this dsp is because it's black and white and it has various sizes of sheet music and fonts and sizes of words!  I love it and because it's a lighter-weight paper, you get 24 sheets in the pack, so double for the same price as a standard dsp pack, so a good value too!!

Other goodies used on this project:
- Lots of Labels framelits - these are a 'go to' for me & are probably one of the more versatile of the framelit sets.  I use them all the time & you'll see that evidenced more than once in this month's blog posts!
- The black lace trim I've used above is a retired one.  I think it's sold out from the clearance rack now, but no worries, there's a new one in the Holiday catty and it's even more adorable.  I know it's on my wish list for my next order (just had to use up what I had first;)
- Cherry Cobbler cardstock...my favourite of the SU reds!
- Stitched framelits - another 'go to'...I'm still luving these which were introduced this past spring...here I've used the largest oval.

NEW Holiday Catalog is LIVE Today!

...and here's a link to the pdf

Merry Little Christmas

The Holiday Catalog goes live September 1st!  So much inspiration in the Merry Little Christmas Suite!

Check it out on pages 10 &11 of the new Holiday catty.  I'll post a link early on September 1st!!

Birthday Delivery - Berry Burst Ruffles

This has been another of the free make & takes I'm doing right now for workshops.  It showcases the new Ruffles dynamic embossing folder and 2 new in colours:  berry burst & fresh fig...isn't that crinkled seam binding ribbon dreamy?!!

The little girl and flowers are stamp images from the Birthday Delivery stamp set & suite in the new catty.  I've coloured her using my in colour ink pads (and an early espresso one too for her hair) and a blender pen.  Do you colour with blender pens...I luv it...turns any ink pad into a marker, but with a little more control for shading & a little less finness needed than watercolouring!

Lovely Friends - Treat Crate

I showed you the Lovely Friends stampset in June, but thought I'd show you an alternate project that I've been providing as a free make & take for my current workshops.  It uses the wood crate framelits & the new in color Fresh Floral dsps & I've filled it with a variety of tea sachets (6 to be exact).  Colours used are all from the new in colours which I'm in luv with...including:  powder pink, berry burst & lemon-lime twist.

Coffee Cafe - Take 2 - Treat Cup

I fill this little treat cup I've made with sugar free Werthers...coffee café flavour!:)  It's made with the new Coffee Café bundle and I've constructed a wee box that I've mounted between the 2 cups I've cut out with my big shot & voila!  I've used one of my favourite new in colours, Berry burst and the new Fresh Floral dsp.  Cute, right?!

Coffee Cafe Suite

The Coffee Café Bundle is on page 31 of the new catty with savings when you order the bundle!  Here I've paired it with Early Espresso card stock that I've used the new ruffled dynamic embossing folder on & the new Tranquil Tide  in color cardstock & dsp.  I think it's a wink & a nudge to my favourite Starbucks, don't you?!;)

Lovely Friends

This card was made with one of my favourite new bundles in the new catty.  The stamp set is called Lovely Friends, and the coordinating framelits that I used to create the pop up inside this card are the Lovely Laurels framelits.

Another Shaker Card

While I'm sharing Father's Day cards (belatedly), this was the one I had made for my hubby (sorry for the light reflection in the window sheets...it really seemed to jump off the gold foil heart near the bottom of the greeting).  This card was made with the b&w striped paper in the Pop of Pink pack and the Jars of Love stamp set and coordinating framelits.  The greeting I chose was 'You fill me with happiness' as it went with what I wanted to share to him on this inside:)

Bear Hug Card for Papa

I'm a bit behind on posting, but this was the Father's Day card I made for my Papa this year, but I thought I could post it anyway as it could easily work for other occasions and many of you might have men in your life who love the lake and fishing.

I used the Bear Hugs stampset and coordinating framelits for this card.  The background on the distressed whisper white piece was stamped in pool party with an image from the Work of Art stamp set.  The fish from the Bear Hugs stampset were coloured with an aqua painter dipped in 3 colours of SU ink.

Make & Take #3 - Shaker Card - Jars of Love with Pop of Pink

This was the third make & take at my new catty workshops.  This one, a shaker card.  The New Catty has some wonderful new strips of dimensionals that are great for making shaker cards!  All you need is a piece of SU window sheet and something to fill your card with (here I used hearts from the treat bag thinlets/framelits set, but the new confetti punches would work great too!).

I used the new Jars of Love stampset and coordinating framelits for all images, and that wonderful patterned paper comes from my new favourite pack, Pop of Pink:)

2016-18 In Colours - Butterfly Basics & Thoughtful Banners - June & July Make & Take #2

 This card was a make & take at my June & July New Catty Workshops.  As you can see I varied the colours on the card in order to showcase the new In Colours.

There's Flirty Flamingo (with Peekaboo Peach as an accent):

 Sweet Sugarplum (with Flirty Flamingo as an accent),

Peekaboo Peach (with Firty Flamingo as an accent),

...and Dapper Denim (with Sweet Sugarplum as an accent)!

Emerald Envy (as showcased on the previous 2 posts is also a new in colour & I know that this card was also made featuring it at these worskhops, but I just don't have a picture:)

This card was made using the following products:

- New In Colour cardstock & some whisper white cardstock for stamping

- new doily embellishments in new catty

- silver thread

- Timeless Textures stamp set (stamped in featured in colour inks as above)

- Butterfly Basics stampset, stamped in coordinating in colour inks s above

- Thoughtful Banners stampset and coordinating punch

Make & Take #1 from My New Catty Workshops (June & July) - Treatholder

When you're counting your points, you look for things other than candy to put in treatholders...  When I found these adorable purse sized tissues recently, I designed this treatholder around them as a result:)  It's made using the envelope punchboard and a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock together with a piece of Emerald Envy dsp from the in colour stack.  I also used the Thioughful Banners new stampset and coordinating punch on this project.

Dapper Denim & Butterfly Framelits

Playing with new in colours, namely Dapper Denim and Sweet Sugarplum n this card.  Stampsets used included:  Watercolour Wings and Timeless Textures.

A Little Emerald Envy Notepad for My Downline

These notepads fit the 5x7 standard notepads you can get at Staples.  I also make a pocket inside for notecards or other things one might need to have handy:)

Products used:
- Emerald Envy ink, card stock, dsp stack (new in colours)
- Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach ink
- White cardstock
- Jute ribbon
