Pretty Poinsettia and Festive Flecks Colour INKspiration #221


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


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


We have some gorgeous traditional Christmas Colours this week.


My card features the lovely Pretty Poinsettia bundle combined with the great Festive Flecks cards and envelopes.


The feature panel was created using the largest Stylish Shapes circle die and the second largest Scalloped Bloom die.


My background DSP is from the Wood Grain Wonders DSP.


I've repeated the front layout for the inside of my card.



I do love how this card has turned out!!

Mulberry Paper revival!! CTC 595


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 November ONline Exclusives, and I have been inspired by this lovely project featuring the Collage Notes bundle.  


AND I added in some of the new Mulberry paper!!  Do you remember when Mulberry paper was really popular way back in the nineties??  I was so excited to see it back again!!


Instead of DSP for my first layer, I've added some of the super gorgeous Mulberry Paper available this month - in comes in Old Olive, Secret Sea and White - and looks and feels soooo lovely!!  


I made a bunch of these cards for my wonderful team - and some have a wreath on the front painted in the same colours....


while others use the cute Collage Notes stamp set and dies also available this month in our November Online Exclusives.  


There are some great sayings in the Collage Notes stamp set!



Up next is the extraordinary Andrea

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

Check out our Facebook group for lots more inspiration!

Sketch Challenge for Let's Craft Together Blog Hop this month


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight I'm hopping with an awesome bunch of talented Australian crafters who love sharing with you!!

This month, we have a Sketch challenge for you!!  


I do love a sketch challenge - it's a great way to get the creative juices flowing.  But I found this one a bit tricky until I decided to use a monochrome pink theme too!  I've used the Notes of Collage stamp set, Banner Sayings stamp set, and the Scalloped Blooms dies with vellum.  


My colours are Barely Blush, Bubble Bath, and then Flirty Flamingo for the splattering and the stamping for the greeting.



Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of amazing inspiration just for you!
