Online Exclusives inspiration!! CTC553

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 our Online Exclusives collection.  Did you know that when you go to the online store, you can look for inspiration projects with every stamp set, die set, punches and designer paper illustrated.  I often click on the sets to see ideas!!  

This is one of the inspiration projects for the Lovely Arrangements bundle which is what I have used for our hop today!!  I really love the technique!

I have almost the same layout for the front of my card.  I've stamped the flower using Secret Sea ink, and then coloured the centres of the flowers using White Ink and a Blender Pen.

When I was colouring, I was careful to colour in between each of the lines on the stamped image.  And I alo coloured lightly first, and then came back again for another layer of White ink for extra depth and highlights in the centres of the flowers. 

Inside the card is simple stamping ready for a lovely greeting for your friend!

I loved the little fun detail of one die cut flower on the front along with the Lemon Lime Twist leaves.

I've used the gorgeous Night of Navy Sparkle Dots Essentials which works beautifully with the Secret Sea I think!!

Up next is the extraordinary Peta who has used the same bundle!

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

Welcome to COLOUR INKspiration for 2026!

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

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

Isn't our first challenge for 2026 sooo pretty!!

I am CASEING our website with one of the new products available - Covered in Flowers accents.  

They come in a die cut sheet and you pop them out and use however you like!!

I've coloured my 2 flowers using blending brushes and Garden Green, Strawberry Slush, and Peach Pie.

The backgroud was made using Fluid 100 watercolour paper.  I wet the paper first, added 1 single drop of Pretty in Pink ink refil and spread it all over the wet paper.  

And the greeting comes from our NEW Product of the Month stamp set - called Fabulous Sayings - exclusives to customers who place a qualifying order!!  It has everything you need!!  

The lovely sparkly Lemon Lolly glimmer paper has been embossed with the Damask Designs folder with the super gorgeous Pastels Shimmer Speciality paper - ANOTHER online exclusive product!! 

INside the card features another gorgeous floral bouquet and the stunning glimer paper.

Welcome to our new Mini Catalogue CTC#552

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 our NEW Mini Catalogue!!  Woohooo!!

My first project CASED from our Mini Catalogue is the one on page 56 featuring the Greenery Lane bundle combined with the super fun Greenery Lane wide washi tape!!  Soooo cool!!

I have altered my card a little to make it much simpler - no heat embossing on a green circle - just plain stamping with Lost Lagoon onto Basic White cardstock.

I've combined the basic greeting with some Gray Granite cardstock for the die cut leaf and the bakers twine bow.  

This sweet little branch gives the perfect finishing touch to the inside of the card don't you think?

Up next is the extraordinary Peta

Farewell to our little Mini Catalogue - and HELLO to the New Mini CTC#551

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

This week, we are CASEING from our Mini Catalouge as we say FAREWELL!!  

I loved the great idea of using lots of circles in various patterns of paper on this lovely card from the Autumn Toile Suite on page 39 of our Mini Catalogue - and I think this design works magnificently with the Nature Walk designer paper.

I've used the ever useful Stylish Shapes dies for each of the circles and combined them with the lovely Nature's Symphony bundle of stamp set and dies.

I love that gorgeous leaf die embellishment combined with the linen thread bow!  

Inside also features the same stamping I used on the designer paper on the front!
