Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today, I'm joining in a blog hop to share lots of GREAT new products from our New Catalogue.  

You will really love seeing all the new goodies.  I've decided to create a quick scrapbook page using our NEW ephemera.

The Flowers come in an assortment of colours, so I chose all the same theme - this time the black and white flowers, along with a few images with Wild Wheat for the pop of colour!!  

The title for my page comes from the Thoughtful Journey Memories and More cards - I cut the edge pieces off to focus on the title!  I also used 2 Ephemera Labels featuring similar colours.

The background of my pages uses another new product - the So Swirly embossing folder.  

Using black and white with the pop of colour made it very easy to add bits and pieces to my page!!  I've also flicked over the background using the Black Stampin' Blend for some more texture and interest.

My final touch is to add a bakers twine bow and some sparkle gems.  

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of amazing projects all along the way!!

Need some Scrapbooking inspiration?

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn

This month our Scrapbook hop coincides with Mothers Day in Australia, so my page is all about my lovely MUM!!

We holidayed at her beach house a couple of weeks ago and I got some great photos of her!  

AND I got to play with some lovely new Ephemera which made putting this page together so quick and easy - in fact, I was done and thought.....hmm should I do more?

I've also die cut a couple of extra leaves to add more interest - as well as a bit of background stamping.

Love these little frame ephemera for some journalling!!  

I hope this gives you some inspiration!!  Make sure you keep hopping to see LOTS more great ideas!!

Cheap & Cheery CTC#469 Mix & Match

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn

Tonight I'm CASEING the CATTY!!  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogue.

This week, we are CASEING the Mix and Match Section - which is so fun!!  

As soon as my little packs of ephemera arrived, I had to CASE a whole bunch of the ideas in this chapter - they are so fun and easy!  These cards above are straight out of the catalogue.

All of THESE cards were created by some of the amazing people at my catalogue launch - which goes to show, it all works together with these ephemera packs!  

But for today's challenge, I decided to use the layout of one of the cards in the Mix and Match section as the starting point for my own creativity.  

I've used the Country Flowers bundle combined with new In Colours - this card is on the Summer Splash.

I've coloured the same bunch of flowers twice using Stampin' Blends and then layered it over my greeting - just like the one in the catalogue.  

Inside the card is very plain this week!!  

Make Sure you keep hopping to see lots of awesome projects!!  

And head here to our Facebook group to see even more ideas!!

Layers of Beauty colour fun

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm participating in a lovely colour challenge!!  Check out this gorgeous image!  

I've used this lovely image as my starting point to create a card featuring the lovely Layers Of Beauty stamp set and masks.

I've done some tone on tone masking for the background layer using Petal Pink, and then did a couple more roses on white cardstock with Petal Pink - it's sooo pretty!!  

I've only used tiny touches of Peach Pie for the greeting and ribbon.  

Inside is more of the sweet roses chopped off from the front feature roses.

These roses were done using the mask only and no stamping - they just look so soft and pretty!
