Christmas In July with Creativity Abounds Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Welcome to our Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire your creativity.

If you live in Australia and shop with me you will receive this tutorial bundle FREE! The tutorial has full instructions and metric and imperial measurements for 13 different cards. The tutorial bundle can be purchased for $25. Please email me if you would like to purchase the bundle.

Here is my card from our tutorial this month!

Our blog hop each month is a project along the theme of the tutorial, but is a different design from the tutorial project. This is an alternative version of my Tutorial Card.

My alternative card features different colours and the stamps rather than the dies from the bundle!

And my colours are Poppy Parade and Peaceful Pine - with some lovely Gold Hot Foiling in the background.

Inside I've stamped another greeting and flower!

This is such a great stamp set for Christmas in July!!

Make sure you keep hopping for LOTS more great Inspiration!!

Violet Dreams making things easy!! CASEING the CATTY #578

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 July ONline Exclusive collection.

I've focussed on the glorious Violet Dreams paper - there are 2 whole pages of die cuts included in the DSP!!!  

This week, I needed something easy and no stress - so I popped out a bunch of flowers and a frame from the die cuts and easily put together my card!

I used another of the designer papers for my background which worked perfectly.

And then, I used the left over piece of paper to create another (even simpler) card - 2 for 1 winning!

This second card included a little stamping in the background with the Barely Blush ink as well as the greeting stamped in Hydrangea Hue.

My finishing touch on both cards with the awesome super cute little flower embellishments from the same suite!! 

Up next is the extraordinary Peta

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

Violet Dreams Colour INKspiration #213

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

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

I've used these colours to have a play with the new Violet Dreams bundle that have just arrived this month!  

I die cut lots of little violets from the Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger cardstock, and then used Secret Sea for everything!!  

I love the way all the flowers look like they're falling from the frame.

Inside always coordinates to create a finished card!
