Welcome to our new Mini Catalogue CTC#552

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 Mini Catalogue!!  Woohooo!!

My first project CASED from our Mini Catalogue is the one on page 56 featuring the Greenery Lane bundle combined with the super fun Greenery Lane wide washi tape!!  Soooo cool!!

I have altered my card a little to make it much simpler - no heat embossing on a green circle - just plain stamping with Lost Lagoon onto Basic White cardstock.

I've combined the basic greeting with some Gray Granite cardstock for the die cut leaf and the bakers twine bow.  

This sweet little branch gives the perfect finishing touch to the inside of the card don't you think?

Up next is the extraordinary Peta

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

Farewell to our little Mini Catalogue - and HELLO to the New Mini CTC#551

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 Mini Catalouge as we say FAREWELL!!  

I loved the great idea of using lots of circles in various patterns of paper on this lovely card from the Autumn Toile Suite on page 39 of our Mini Catalogue - and I think this design works magnificently with the Nature Walk designer paper.

I've used the ever useful Stylish Shapes dies for each of the circles and combined them with the lovely Nature's Symphony bundle of stamp set and dies.

I love that gorgeous leaf die embellishment combined with the linen thread bow!  

Inside also features the same stamping I used on the designer paper on the front!

Gorgeous Greens of course

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!!

And I got to choose the theme this month!!!  And I chose an easy peasy theme for the beginning of the year!!  Go Monochrome - which means create something all in the same colour tones!!  

And you would NOT be surprised to see I've created a super sweet card celebrating a bunch of our amazing greens!!  

This card is also a sneak peek of some of our new products coming in our Mini Catalogue which starts on the 6th January - only 2 days time!!  Sooooo exciting!! Woohoo

I'm using the lovely Greenery Lane bundle and the coordinating Greenery Lane Washi Tape along with some lovely pieces of torn Nature's Walk designer paper.  And these new goodies work soooo well in my green colour theme!!  The hint is in the name of the bundle - Greenery Lane!!  

I've used Soft Sea Foam (card base) Shaded Spruce (stamping), Granny Apple Green (die cut leaves), Old Olive (die cut teeny flowers) and the awesome Shades of Green Hexagon embellishments!  

And the inside of my card features ALL the extra bits and pieces from my die cutting spree!!! 

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

Tracy's Card Swap J

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.  This is our LAST blog hop for this round!

Today we are sharing a wonderful card designed by Tracy in Chain Swap J.  

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

By the time the chain got to me, it was almost Christmas, and so I've celebrated this stunning paper from the Tradition of Christmas Suite - and it worked soooo beautifully!!  

However, it's sooo amazing to see the beginning style with Tracy's card which is divided into 4 quadrants, which was then transformed to 6 random shapes!!  

Inside is some more gorgeous paper with plenty of room to write!!

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