Sending Big Hugs CTC#539

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 Peaceful Garden Suite.

I have been inspired by this lovely card on page 34 of the Mini Catalogue.

I love the torn edges detail with the big greeting and the small extra word as part of the greeting.

And I also wanted to add some texture and sparkle.  So I've used the lovely textured Mix and Match cards and envelopes along with some of the gorgeous Peaceful Garden glimmer paper, and finally some of the traditional sequins.  

I used the scraps from the torn edge as my interesting detail for inside the card!

Colour INKspiration with Textured Notes bundle CI#196

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

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

These colours this week are sooooo glorious!!

I'm using the fabulous Textured Notes bundle for my sweet z fold card - those dies work beautifullly to create a fun card like this!

And you KNOW I love greens, so I've stamped the glorious leaf image all over my panels using Shy Shamrock, and then sponged with the Summer Splash around the edges to give more depth of colour.

 A z- fold card is quite easy to do - you fold your card in half, and then fold the front back again to create the Z!

I've used the Gray Granite for the featured circle on both of my panels, and then the Early Espresso for the greetings.

And my final touch is some of the glorious In Color Flat Pearls.

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 Online Exclusive collection , and I've chosen the amazing Delicate Pines Bundle.

I love the luxurious papers with the deep colours and glorious greens.

My card base is Pretty Peacock and I've made a fun gatefold flap card, which shoes off this darling paper spectacularly.

Inside is some simple stamping showing off the gorgeous images in the stamp set.

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!!
