Eclipse Technique Florals in Bloom CTC#534

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 some of the amazing projects in our catalogue featuring dies or punches.

My card has been inspired by the gorgeous projects in the Florals in Bloom Suite collection on page 41.

The paper was my first starting point for the colours - which are Bubble Bath combined with Blackberry Bliss.

This is another card in our Eclipse card technique class - this time featuring the amazing die cut word.  Under the gorgeous paper is 3 layers of Blackberry Bliss die cut so that the layers work to make the raised effect.  

I really like the effect of the little words overlapping the large die cut word - and this was inspired by the gorgeous projects in the catalogue.  

Would you like to give this type of card a try?

Monochromatic Scrapbooking blog hop! Be inspired!

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today is Scrapbooking Global day!! Each month we share some great inspiration for you1!  

And I'm hoping you can guess what monochromatic theme I'm using?  Monochrome is all different tones or hues of the same colour!!  

This was the perfect theme for our recent trip with specatucular scenery of sky and sea!!  

I've torn the edges of lots of two tone cardstock - Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, Blueberry Bushel and aAzure Afternoon.  I then added White ink to the edges and stamped white spots on the edges too!!  The front edge also has some Azure Afternoon spotty stamping too!

My page features a sneak peek of a fabulous new stamp coming in September - called Happy Place which works perfectly with another awesome stamp set - Weekend Adventures.  All the journalling die cut frames are also another sneak peek - Traditional Labels Dies.

I really hope YOU are inspired to try this!!  

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AMAZING projects!!

Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop - thinking of you

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today I'm joining the fabulous paper crafting monthly blog hop of fabulous international crafters.  Join us for a world tour of inspiration!

This month the theme is Thinking of You!  My card is inspired by the amazing Tracy who creates brilliant cards with amazing fun folds.

This is called an double envelopefold and is a lovely way to show off gorgeous papers and textures with the middle panel peeking through!  

The card has a belly band to keep it intact.  The greeting comes from the lovely Blooming Phrases stamp set and the papers come from the Kintsugi Suite.

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AWESOME inspiration!!

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.
