Autumn wreath CTC#497

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 colours of the Spendid Autumn DSP.

I had a crack at trying to include ALL the colours in the DSP - Wild Wheat, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Moody Mauve and Cajun Craze - but some of these will be a bit tricky to see!!  

The colouring for the gorgeous wreath from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set is in Mossy Meadow and Moody Mauve.

I've layered the stamped greeting onto the teeny piece of Cajun Craze, and the card base and ribbon are Cherry Cobbler.

And the Wild Wheat is featured on the Regal Winter designer paper.  

Inside the card you can see a little more Moody Mauve on the bird!!

Fun with Scrapbooking Tic Tac Toe - can you see the inspiration?

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

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

This month's challenge has been set by the fabulous Sherry Roth who does extraordinary scrapbooking!

This month it is Tic Tac Toe Board, which you choose your own adventure. Diagonally, Straight through the board from left to right or right to left or choose the middle lines. So Tic Tac Toe Boards are a FUN way to incorporate a couple of different elements on your scrapbooking layout to give yourself a challenge.

Soooo, can you see where my inspiration has come from?  I've gone for the first column on the left - splatter, green (of course) and torn paper!! This is a match made in heaven for me!!  teeheee

I looooove the two tone paper - it tears beautifully AND you can flip the paper to get 2 different tones of the same colour!!  Love love love!!  And it's green - total love too!!  

And splatter is just a BRILLIANT way to add extra vintagy texture and stampingness to a page!  

I'm also featuring the gorgeous Autumn to Remember Workshop Scrapbooking kit combined with the stunning Autumn to Remember stamp set - look at those wonderful leaves!!  

I just love how this page came together!!  I love all those stickers and die cuts from the workshop kits - it makes putting together a page sooooo much quicker!!  

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 - Christmas!

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!

My project this month is a Christmas gift for some very special people.  

It features the glorious Regal Winter paper with the Regal Flora bundle.  The colours in the paper are so luxurious and deep, so I’ve paired the paper with Night of Navy and Blueberry Bushel.

Each of the gifts has a belly band with coordinating ribbon threaded through one of the fabulous Peaceful Season dies, which was then embellished with some of the lovely new gold thread included in the Online Exclusives this month.

And the Tinsel Gems, have great little embellishments that coordinate perfectly!!!

The little gift package is 12” x 7 1/2” scored at 5 1/2” on the short side, and scored at 4 1/2” and 9” on the long side.  It folds into three and then I wrapped a length of cardstock around the pouch to create the belly band.  

Inside the gift package is some fabulous Tinsel Gems which are used on the front of the project too!!  I hope you like this little gift idea!!

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

A Wreath insipired by Stars CTC#496

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 a punch project from either catalogue, and I was really inspired by the fabulous wreath on page 47 of the mini catalogue.  

I love the greeting being off to the side of the wreath and the repeat of the shapes all the way around.

To create the wreath, I die cut the two largest Stylish Shapes circles together from some Gold Foil.  I also die cut the same shape from Thick White cardstock to give the wreath more stability and weight.

I then wrapped some Cherry Cobbler ribbon around the foil circle before I adhered both the foil and thick white circles together.  To anchor the ribbon, I tied a gold double bow around it using the lovely gold thread available now in our ONline Exclusive collection.

The flowers and leaves are die cut from the Festive Glimmer Paper using the Country Flowers dies.  I love those dies as they cut a bunch of flowers and leaves all together at the same time which is great!  I added them all around the wreath after I’d added the greeting.  The Blooming Pearls work an absolute treat for the lovely gold highlights on the flowers.  

The greeting comes from the Peaceful Season stamp set which is sooo useful for Christmas!!
