With the launch of a new catalogue last Tuesday, this week’s CTC 486 CASEing the Catty Challenge is to CASE the Stampin’ Up! September-December Mini Catalogue.
I can’t go past a sketch so I picked this card from Page 30 which uses the Nests of Winter Suite. I substituted the products with the Regal Winter suite.
My colour palette was determined by the sheet of Regal Winter Designer Series Paper I chose for my card which had rich hues of blue and purple on it.
I started by stamping the flowers and leaves, choosing 2 coordinating colours to create depth and more cohesiveness with the Designer Series Paper. The flowers were inked in Gorgeous Grape and then I added Night of Navy direct to the stamp with a Blending Brush before stamping each flower. I did the same with the leaves using Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce.
I clustered the flowers and leaves with some additional foliage from the Thoughtful Wishes dies. These were die cut from a Basic White Cardstock panel blended with Night of Navy, Gorgeous Grape and Smoky Slate ink. This technique provides beautiful shading on leaves and I was able to coordinate it to the leaves on the Designer Series Paper.
The patterned paper was layered onto a panel of Gorgeous Grape which had been blended with Night of Navy ink. This made the Cardstock tone better with the DSP. To resemble the white panel on the original card I added a thin strip of Silver Foil.
Behind the flowers I added a label from the Regal Flora dies which I die cut from another sheet of Regal Winter DSP. I cut this in half and offset it and arranged the flowers around it. A heat embossed sentiment in silver and some pearls complete this card.
I hope you consider adding the stunning Regal Winter suite to your collection. It includes specialty paper as well and with a range of sentiments, you will find many ways to create with it.

Welcome to this week’s Monochromatic challenge with the Crafty Collaborations team. We are highlighting the rich and regal, Cherry Cobbler. I was leaning towards a Christmas card as this is a gorgeous festive colour, however I chose the Simply Zinnia bundle instead.
I stamped the Zinnia image twice, once in Tuxedo Black and once in Cherry Cobbler. The flowers were coloured in Cherry Cobbler and Real Red Watercolour Pencils and the leaves were shaded in with the Basic Gray Watercolour Pencil.
I fussy cut the around the flowers and mounted them on top of the complete image.
On this card I’ve also added some of the products from our Regal Winter suite from the September – December Mini Catalogue. The beautiful Designer Series Paper and the Specialty Paper in Cherry Cobbler were just perfect for this week’s challenge.
The Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments are so sparkly and I love how they add a touch of elegance to this card.

What’s your feeling about Pretty Peacock? Well, I’ll share with you my experience with this colour which is part of our Regals collection and one that we are highlighting for our Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop this week.
Back in 2019, Pretty Peacock came in as one of our 5 new In-Colors for the 2019-2021 range. During that time I had a bit of trouble warming up to this colour and was quite pleased when it’s tenure came to an end! However, it seems like I was in the minority because it returned last year as one of our core colours.
It’s funny how over time one’s tastes and styles can change. I don’t mind Pretty Peacock now and these monochromatic challenges are definitely getting me creating with colours out of my comfort zone.
So for my card today the first element that came together was the 3D flowers.
3D FLOWERS
To create each one, I die cut 3 of the flower shapes from Vellum using the Flowers of Beauty dies. I used the Graceful Greenery Vellum which is in our Online Exclusives range.
Then I coloured each one with Pretty Peacock ink using a Water Painter. Once dry, I went around the edges with a Bone Folder and pushed in the centre with the Bone Folder on a Piercing Mat. This curved the edges up. Then I glued the 3 die cuts together to form the flower.
For added texture I embossed the postage die with one of the Flowers of Beauty dies which formed a beautiful impression on the Cardstock.
Some Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems finish this card off along with a simple sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set.

Hello Friday! Today, I’m sharing a card that I created last week on my Wednesday night FB Live. Over the course of the month I created some Christmas in July themed projects. I love the images from the Garden Meadow bundle and after having it on my desk to create my monochromatic project (check that out here) I thought it would be nice to create a Christmas card with it.
I chose some cooler tones for my wheelbarrow and added some bright Red flowers to bring in the Christmas theme. The Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper with the trees adds to the cool, snowy atmosphere I had envisioned.
For all my tips and details on creating this card, make sure you watch the video tutorial.

Hello, Welcome to the New at SU blog hop for July. This month our team are showcasing our beautiful metallic products. I’ll be sharing the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper which is part of the Thoughtful Journey Suite. I also added some other metallic elements to my card from our varied range of products.
On the embossed White Cardstock I roughly applied some Copper Metallic Enamel Effects with a brush. Then I added a layer of the Specialty DSP at the bottom. This pack comes in the 2024-2026 In-Colors and are shaded in an ombre style so each sheet will have a variation in colour.
Several pieces of foliage were die cut from Crumb Cake and Basic White Cardstock. For variation, I watercoloured some leaves in Wild Wheat in a very rustic fashion so that the white still showed through. On this I added some die cut Glimmer Flowers in Petunia Pop.
Some Copper Clay Linen Thread (coming in our September – December Mini Catalogue) and Metallic Enamel Effects Dots finish of this card.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my creation. Stop by my Facebook Page at 10am AEST to see me create a variation on this card. I hope this inspires you to try out some of our Metallic and Specialty products.
Next on our hop is Sharon Dalton. Please follow our hop through for lots of beautiful metallic inspiration.
