Thoughtful Journey Returning Favourite CTC#533

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 our returning favourites!!  And there are SOOO MANY!!  I have been wanting to get into the gorgeous Thoughtful Journey paper and this card is for a class featuring the Eclipse Technique.

To create this type of card you need 2 pieces of exactly the same size pieces of paper.

One of the sheets is then chopping into 1cm strips - it's important to keep them in order when you're chopping them up!!  

And then you add dimensional foam tape to every second strip and line it up with the bottom image to create the fabulous 3D effect.

I've used some the spare strips for the inside of the card - waste not want not!

The final touches are some Brushed Brass Butterflies.  The greeting comes from the Simply Said stamp set which is ALSO one of our Returning Faves.

Up next is the extraordinary Monique

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