Anyone For A BBQ? CTC197

Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week the design team are focusing on pages 28-35.

In an effort to be organised, I am creating a little ahead of time although with a little further thought I would have made this a Happy Anniversary card! The sentiment from Sitting Pretty is perfect for an anniversary card. My hubby and I celebrated 41 years of marriage last Friday, so we gave ourselves a weekend away on the coast.

 I made really good use of DSP for the card with Wood Textures for the background and the 2018-2020 In Colour DSP for the BBQ apron. Both of these are in 6" by 6" packs containing 48 for the Wood and 40 for In Color.

 Apron of Love is the stamp and Apron Builder Framelits are the dies. You can buy them bundled together for a 10% discount through to June 2019. There are dies for baking utensils as well as the BBQ set.

We do enjoy a glass of wine, usually while we cook dinner, so I stamped a single glass from Half Full, for a splash of colour (and humour?)

 Can you see how the red card from Timeless Tidings inspired my card? I decided not to put anything along the right under the banner but I liked the banner with the flagged ends facing into the card, and lowered a little from the top.

Now you can head on over to the remarkable Rebecca Scurr

Country Home For AWH Blog Hop

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring the Holiday Catalogue. We hope our blog hop inspires you to get creative and make some fabulous Christmas creations. If you would like a copy of the Holiday Catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.

My favourite from the Holiday Catalogue is actually a non-Christmas suite, Country Lane on page 42-43. I like the rustic decor style, and oh wow! what about that Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder? The suite also contains Braided Linen trim, Galvanised clips and beautiful pattern paper Country Lane DSP. The stamp set, Country Home, comprises 14 photopolymer stamps so plenty of options. 

Bermuda Bay and Night Of Navy were my main colour choices, and when it came to colouring the flowers, I used every shade of green I had, and the new Cajun Craze. We really do have a wonderful range of colours in the alcohol-based markers, Stampin' Blends, with new additions at each catalogue release.

I inked the embossing folder before rolling it through the Big Shot, which helps to emphasise the delightful tile pattern. The sentiment, which is from First Frost, has been heat embossed in white.

I couldn't resist showing off my beautiful collection of Stampin' Blends, and I love nothing better than relaxing in the evening with a bit of colouring to do.

For something a bit different, I included Apron Of Love for the jug of utensils & rolling pin, and a die cut lid from Jars Of Love is the low vase. Next up is the very talented Monika O'Neill

Stitched With Love CI#40

Colour INKspiration is a fortnightly blog initiated by Bronwyn Eastley in Tasmania. The design team is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project.

I've been experimenting with the Stamparatus and circular templates this week. Oh my goodness, there's a way to get inky, but I have lots of sweet pieces to make into cards now. I've mainly used flowers from different sets, and the one I've decided to share tonight is from Apron Of Love.

This stamp set hasn't seen nearly enough ink, and when I went to my shelf (arranged alphabetically of course, Apron Of Love was right there. Bike Ride has been my other trial stamp set, but those flowers didn't work with the Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape colours for this challenge. I've included the third shade, Early Espresso, in a frame around the art piece.

I'm liking the very small stitched circle from Stitched Labels Framelits, and the delicate stitched heart too.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Nikki Spencer has shared
