Nature Walk Inspiration CTC#566

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 the colours of the stunning Nature Walk paper.

I love all these natural colours, and I've also used the layout for the card on the left of the landing page.

I have used Old Olive for the card base, and a corresponding Old Olive paper from the Moonlit Flora designer series paper collection.  I've stamped onto the designer paper using Old Olive ink for the little lines, and also Night of Navy for the background leaf.  

The stunning leaves from the Fern and Flora dies were cut from Cloud Cover, Pretty Peacock and Secret Sea cardstocks.  

and finally the greeting and label were stamped using Pecan Pie ink.  

The inside of the card features the pieces of paper I ripped off the edge of the front, as well as some more background stamping.

Up next is the extraordinary Rochelle

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

Chain Card Swap B Genna

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn

Today I'm joining the amazing Card Swap Chain Blog Hop with 10 amazing Australian cardmakers.  Our blog hop today is a celebration of the amazing cards we sent and received when we embarked on a fun journey sending cards to each other over a period of months.  It's a card version of "Chinese Whispers".  Each of us designed a card and sent if off to one of the other participants. That person then CASED the card and sent their own version to the next person.  To CASE is to Copy and Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit.  Each person's card made it's way around all 10 of us until finally a verson came home to the designer.  And Now, we are sharing these gorgeous card designs with YOU.  Enjoy the amazingness of everyone's cards and designs.

Today we are sharing a wonderful card designed by Genna in Chain Swap B

 Follow the blog hop ALL the way around to see the evolution of her gorgeous card.

I loved the torn edges of this card as part of the background features!!  

What a great way to show off gorgeous papers as well as a fabulous texture in the centre.

All the leaves are actually die cut from the fabulous Greenery Lane Washi Tape - I love their soft watercolour look!! 

And here is the starting card from Genna! I think there have been some changes along the way with this one!

Make sure you keep hopping to see this amazing evolution!!

Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop in celebration of DSP

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today I'm joining the fabulous paper crafting monthly blog hop of fabulous international crafters.  Join us for a world tour of inspiration!

This month we are celebrating Designer Series Paper.  And my card is LITERALLY created by a bunch of SCRAPS.

I've used the STUNNING Delicate Dreams paper and added a bunch of strips left over from other projects and flipped them so both designs of every piece was used!   The featured flowers on the front are ALSO cut from the designer paper!  Love it when you can use the paper in so many different ways.  I've also used some lovely Copper Foil for the extra leafy die cuts.

The stamped greeting on the front and inside of the card come from the Phrases & Frames stamp set coming in the new catalogue from the 5th May.  I've used Secret Sea ink which works well with all this paper and also the card base is Secret Sea also.

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AWESOME inspiration!!

Our theme this month was all about cards for Kids!!  And I HAD to use the totally gorgeous Cutest Crew for this theme - it's sooo perfect!!

For this card I've coordinated it with the lovely Help Me Grow bundle - rather appropriate for a card for kids!!  Both the Cutest Crew and the Help Me Grow bundles are available in the online store.  

The cutest crew has puppies, kitties and birds - it's hard to make a choice about which one for the card!!  My tutorial card featured the cute little kittens!
