Flip Flap Fun Scrabooking Global Blog Hop!

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today is Scrapbooking Global day!! Each month we share some great inspiration for you1!  

This month we get to play with Flip Flaps!!  -  and they are PERFECT for when you have LOTS of photos to share!!  

It's been almost 2 weeks since our daughters wedding, and as you can imagine, we have LOTS of glorious photos to enjoy and scrapbook!!  So the theme this month is perfect.  Unfortunately, since the wedding I've been very ill with a nasty flu...... so my page is simple but it DOES have 5 photos!!  

I've used the marvellous Wildflower Birthday Scrapbooking Workshop kit - totally perfect for our photos and the event with the glorious flower bouquets created by our daughters!  

The background is simply varying width of coordinating papers and then I added the focal panel with gorgeous stickers and the title - along with all the glrious photos!

I really hope YOU are inspired to try this!!  

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AMAZING projects!!

This month we are sharing our new Mini Catalogue with you.  My project comes from the stunning Traditional Christmas Suite.

Introducing the Brighten Your Day Stampin' Up Kit

Traditional favourites CTC#537

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)

This week, we are CASEING from the Traditions of Christmas Suite - which is just stunning!!!  I love the traditional colours so much along with the glorious gold imagery and flowers in the paper.

However, I want to show my customers some flexibility in our stamp sets, and so I've created a totally different card from the same suite.  I've been inspired by the lovely card featuring the lovely coloured flowers on page 24 of the mini catalogue.

My first step was to use the lovely embossed mix and match cards and envelopes for the background textures.

I then coloured the image using Stampin' Blends in  Secret Sea, Cloud Cover and Crumb Cake.

I have used some of the glorious designer paper behind my focal point, but it's the much quieter B side of the paper!!

Inside the card repeats the same layout.

Up next is the extraordinary Rochelle

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of great ideas!

Prairie Grass Colour INKspiration #195

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!

Abstract designs stress me a little - so I've opted for safety and used the lovely silhouette stamp set Prairie Grass with some blending for the Crushed Curry.

My card base is one of the lovely textured Embossed Designs Mix & Match Cards and Envelopes.

The greeting I have fussy cut from a complete phrase - I only wanted the first part of it!!  Easy to be selective with greetings when you can cut them up!

The crushed currey works so very well with the blending - I tried really had to add intensity of colour right on the edges.

And my final touch was some Smoky Slate pearls which are currently HALF PRICE and on the LAST CHANCE list!!  So if you like them, I'd recommend grabbing some quickly!!
