Forever Fern

 Hi everyone, 

Some Saturdays or Sundays, I sit in my craft room and just play.  Usually I have this idea that has been floating in my thoughts for awhile.  This is after class cards or done, or I just need to let them out.  Sometimes I have my 92 year old mum on video chat with me.  This was probably another day that Mum was in on the discussion.

Here the are the cards that I came up.  The greens are the new 2021-2023 colours, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. I used retired Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper and retired Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. 

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos.  Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards.  If you are a bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote.  

The current Annual Catalogue is available on this blog.  If you would like a Catalogue posted to you, it will cost $9-00.  That can be deducted from the next order. 

If you live in Australia and you would like to place an order over $250-00 (before shipping) you will receive 10% in Stampin Up Rewards.  Click here to place your order.

If you would like to place a smaller order please email me on leanne1982@netspace.net.au.

If you would like the current brochure, please email me on leanne1982@netspace.net.au.

If you like this blog, and like learning a little about our family traditions or our lives while I inform you about the makings of the cards or quilts that I make, can you indicate by following me, (on the right hand side). Blogging is something new and I am still trying to get a handle on it.

CASEing the Catty Sunday #CTC280

 Hi everyone,

This week we were asked to CASE something on the cover of the Mini Catalogue that has just been released. That means that you can copy anything on the front cover.  You can copy any of the cards and put your own twist on the card. For example, your own colours, different stamps, or maybe adding some embossing.  When I surfed the blogs that are part of this challenge, one of them created a card using the whole page as a concept.  That is another concept that I had not thought of.

Below is the card that I have used as an example. 

Below is the card that I created.  I knew what I wanted on the card, namely the green foliage in different colours and several sprigs of yellow (wattle).  I played a little with different designer series paper from the Forever Greenery suite. 

I created this card using Just Jade card base, Whisper White, So Saffron and Pretty Peacock card stock and Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper which can be found in the Annual Catalogue on page 109 ©2020 Stampin' Up!®.  I also used Garden Green, Shaded Spruce and Just Jade stamp pads. There is also some Pretty Peacock embellishments.  The white shape that the foliage is placed on, is part of Tasteful Label Dies which can be found on page 179.

This is Rebecca’s response on following Monday after the entries closed for the week:

We had 6 fabulous entries for our last challenge, casing the cover of the August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue.

We love Leanne Mitchell's wattle card.  We love how she has cased the layout with a completely different stamp set.  And of course, we love the Aussie colour combo!!

Congratulations, Leanne. 

We would really love to see your creations so don't forget to join in with the current challenge, where we are casing the punch bundles on pages 168-169 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.
