CASEing the Catty - #CTC512 Case Mix and Match

 

This week at CASEing the Catty we are featuring the Mix and Match examples on page 14 and 15 of the Mini Catalogue.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Monique Fielder.

It's been a very busy weekend, with lunch out, friends visiting, card class at home but I have been able to do a quick and easy card using the the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I have chosen the tag in the bottom right hand corner with the hearts to case.  I have cut out a 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock and cut off the corners.  With a 1" circle of Boho Blue I folded this over at the top and punched a hole in the middle to form the top which I put the White Baker's Twine through.  

It was then time to decorate with a strip of the Boho Blue DSP at the bottom and then I layered 3 of the oh so cute images from the die cut sheets with dimensionals before attaching a sentiment from the suite using the die from the Delightful Wishes Dies which I was easily able to make a little shorter by putting it through the Cut 'n Embossing machine a second time.

Finally I adhered the finished tag onto a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock.

Cardstock:  Thick Basic White, Basic White, Boho Blue Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper

CASEing the Catty - #CTC511 Case Colours of Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP



I have just returned from attending Stampin' Up! OnStage event in Brisbane and wow it's been a fantastic time away even though it was very stressful in the lead up with the flooding of the rivers in Southbank and surrounding areas affected by Cyclone Alfred.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from one of the Queenslanders that were effected by this stormy conditions, Julia Quinn.

I am Caseing a card from page 42 of the Mini Catalogue which I have created for a friend who turns 60 next month.


This card starts with Bubble Bath card base and added a piece of the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper and then layered a die cut banner in Bubble Bath and put a Basic White "60" from the Birthday Celebration dies.  

It was then time to decorate with the Sticker Sheets and some Gold Twisted Thread which matches so well with all the Gold highlights in this SDSP.

I have created a card especially for a new born baby using the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC509 Case Floral Delight Suite

 



This week at CASEing the Catty we are featuring the Floral Delight Suite in the Mini Catalogue from pages 33 to 37.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Rochelle Laird-Smith.

I have completed two cards for this Challenge my first one is mostly a direct case from the Mini Catalogue on page 33 with the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper with lots of fussy cutting of the flowers and leaves.

My second card uses Blue tones and features the upcoming Online Exclusive Thankful Garden Bundle, which has a stamp set, dies and decorative masks.

I started with a Boho Blue card base which I stamped in Boho Blue one of the two step flower stamps and layered this with a piece of the Pecan Pie textured paper from the Floral Delight DSP which I had cut out some flower dies in two corners.  

It was then time to get out the decorative masks and used Boho Blue and Old Olive to create the flowers and leaves.  I then fussy cut out the flowers and leaves as I currently don't have the dies, (I reduced the size of the hydrangea to fit in the right hand side).

Finally, I did some die cutting of the sentiments with cardstock and with the beautiful Floral Vellum.  The "happy birthday" sentiment is white embossed and I reduced the size by putting the cardstock through the die twice.  

It was then just layering these on top of a piece of ribbon and then I added a little petal from the hydrangea which was left over from the larger one (and I also added a couple more to inside the card).

Stamp Set:  Delightful Wishes
Cardstock: Boho Blue, (Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight), Old Olive (Pecan Pie), Basic White, Floral Delight Designer Series Paper, Floral & Gingham Vellum
Ink:  Boho Blue, Old Olive, VersaMark
Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Thankful Garden Decorative Masks, Delightful Wishes Dies, Ribbon (retired)




The yellow version a direct case from the Mini Catalogue.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC508 Case Sale-A-Bration



We are in the last few days of the Sale-A-Bration promotion and this week at CASEing the Catty we are again featuring the brochure.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Monique Fielder.

Today, I have CASEd the box on page 15 of the brochure.  I have turned the box into card and have made two colour combinations one being a direct CASE and one that I have used pink tones.

I started with an Old Olive card base and layered this with the Timber 3D Textured Embossing piece and put some of the Boho Blue Jute Trim around. I have separated the trim by unraveling it to create three thin pieces.

Then it was time to cut out the two banners in Basic White and Boho Blue and stamping the floral image with Black Momento on the Basic White banner and some further images on scraps of Basic White.  I then used my collection of pencils to colour in the images and fussy cut them out.  It was then time to place both the banners down with dimensionals and tucked the extra flowers behind them, finally adding the crumb cake circle sentiment and the Boho Blue bow.

I then decide to create the pink tone version using Moody Mauve cardstock and Pebbled Path features.

Stamp Set:  Corner in Bloom, Sketched Butterflies
Cardstock:  Old Olive, Boho Blue (Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path), Crumb Cake, Basic White
Ink:  Black Momento, Colour Pencils
Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Birthday Celebration Die, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Timber 3D Textured Embossing Folder, Boho Blue (Peddled Path) Jute Trim
