Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop - welcome to the new catalogue

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 we are inspiring you with the great content of our new Mini Catalogue.

My inspiration comes from the very elegant card on the lower left of page 23 of the catalogue.

I've changed up the colours 3 ways to see how different each one looks!  This card features Coastal Cabana and Summer Splash.

I do love these trees!! They look so awesome stamped in a row!

This card features Fresh Freesia and Petunia Pop for the mat behind the main image.  

And my last card features Moody Mauve with a bit of a variation on the layout.

Do you have a favourite?  

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

You NEED Mix and Match in your life!! CTC#487

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 Mix and Match pages of our new Mini Catalogue. I LOVE the idea of Mix and Match as it makes cardmaking so much easier and quicker and accessible for EVERYBODY. 

The first thing I did was to merrily CASE a bunch of the designs on these pages exactly as they are in the catalogue - except I cut these gorgeous dipped gold cards in half and just used them as card fronts to give me twice as many cards!

It's fun adding bits and pieces of each of the ephemera packs to create the gorgeous cards.  

Even the tag ideas in the catalogue are inspirational.  

As you can see, I got a little creative when I swapped out the snow man for a Christmas tree on one of the cards. 

And THEN, I was in the groove and created this fun z fold card so that I could see all of the printed gold dipped gorgeousness.  

I used 2 tags exactly the same for the front and the inside of the card and then added some fun images to the front - inspired by the catalogue of course!  

I hope you give the Mix and Match products a go - they really DO make cardmaking so much easier and quicker and really FUN!!  

Up next is the extraordinary Rochelle

Keep hoppping for AMAZINGNESS!

Have you made a Tower Block Christmas Tree?

Delicious colour INKspiration #173

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

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

I've inverted our inspiration pic for my Christmas Tree cards this week!!  

I love the combination of the Shy Shamrock with the Cherry Cobbler - they work so well together. 

Hopefully you can see it in the photo, but I've used shimmery embossing paste on my trees.  I embossed the Very Vanilla cardstock first using the Painted Trees embossing folder, and then I added colour using the Shy Shamrock ink and a blending brush and then the embossing paste over the top very lightly to create lots of lovely sparkle!  

And then the trees feature some Shy Shamrock glimmer paper stars and Cherry Cobbler pearls.  Very simple card really. 

Inside the card is simple stamping.
