CASEing the Catty - #460 Case a Project and Step it Up Enduring Beauty Bundle



This week at CASEing the Catty we are caseing a project from either the Annual or Mini Catalogues and Stepping it up.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Julia Quinn.

I have chosen to case the Stepped Upped cards on page 39 of the Mini Catalogue using the Enduring Beauty Bundle which include a mix of masks, stamp set and dies which is a first for Stampin' Up!

This bundle has been in at my home for a couple of months but this is the first time I have had some time to pull it out and give it some love and ink.

I am featuring some of the upcoming retiring in colors - Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky and Parakeet Party for the featured floral centrepiece. 

I have stamped Black Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock and then I used my blending brushes in Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party to easily coloured in the image.  

The masks have a number in the top left hand corner so this makes it so easy to layer the colours to create a wonderful image and I have only used 2 ink pads but with the layers it gives the different shades of colour.  The centrepiece was then die cut out.

With the layered Basic White cardstock, I very lightly added the stamens in Orchid Oasis to create a background, then added this to the Starry Sky cardstock, add the centrepiece with dimensionals and add a few tiny little buds in Black Memento and use the two step stamp and stamp off the ink to give a lighter colour.

Finally, I added some die cut buds and leaves in Parakeet Party, a sentiment from Thoughtful Expressions in Starry Sky, a double baker's twine bow and some Faceted Gems. 

Stamp Set:  Enduring Beauty, Thoughtful Expressions
Cardstock:  Basic White, Starry Sky, Parakeet Party
Ink:  Black Memento, Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky, Parakeet Party
Accessories:  Cut and Emboss Machine, Enduring Beauty Dies, Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, Starry Sky Baker's Twine, Faceted Gems

CASEing the Catty - #CTC458 Case a Sketch Sale-A-Bration



This week at CASEing the Catty we are caseing a sketch layout which is inspired by the card featured on page 4 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Peta Stephen.

I have chosen to use the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper which you can receive for FREE with a $90 purchase but you only have a few more days to take up this offer.

I have taken a Wild Wheat card base and added a piece of the DSP of the same colour which I die cut using the largest of Perennial Postage dies. 
I then added my centrepiece of the card where I fussy cut out the stippled roses in Pebbled Path and fixed them to a square piece of Basic White and then I coloured a full rose image with Calypso Coral blending brush.  

Final touches included a couple of strips of the Calypso Coral DSP to the top and bottom.  The sentiment which I used is the new Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder and matching dies and highlighted again with Calypso Coral ink.

Cardstock:  Wild Wheat, Basic White, Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper
Ink:  Calypso Coral
Accessories:  Cut and Emboss Machine, Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder and Die, Perennial Postage Dies

Time is ticking away as there are only 18 days left of the Sale-A-Bration products.  Today at CASEing the Catalogue we are featuring this brochure.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Rebecca Scurr.

I am caseing the stepped upped version on page 14 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure which uses the level 2 Softly Sophisticated Bundle which has a stamp set and embossing folder.


I have run a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock through the Cut and Emboss Machine with the Soft Sophisticated Embossing Folder, then used a blending brush in Sweet Sorbert to give colour and highlight the embossed effect.

Cut the largest and smallest dies from the Thoughtful Expressions in Basic White and then stamp the foliage in Shaded Spruce and the flowers on a scrap piece of Basic White and fussy cut out the 3 flowers and a bud in Sweet Sorbet.  Cut out the 2 leaves for the Dies in Shaded Spruce and Lemon Lime Twist and the sentiment on the small die.

Wrap some twine around the large die and fix a double bow in the same twine on the right hand side, adhere the sentiment on top of the bow.  Finally adding the 2 die cut leaves and then the flowers and bud mounted with deminsionals and then a couple of the gold flower.

This week at CASEing the Catty, we are caseing the Sale-A-Bration brochure and I am using the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Tina Gillespie.

I have choose to case the layout of the "hello" card from page 10.  I needed a 21st Birthday Card for a work colleague yesterday so I thought I would be able to tweak it so I could participate this week in the challenge.

First of all I put out some of the lovely Flight & Airy DSP and mounted this up on dimensionals and add a couple of strips of the reverse side pieces.  (This DSP is FREE with a $90 purchase up until the end of February and wow it's my favourite Sale-A-Bration item this year.)

I then added a strip of Lost Lagoon cardstock and a Basic White Hexagonal on dimensionals and add the 21 number in Pink.  Finally finishing off with the flower and leaves cut out from Moody Mauve Luster Speciality Paper with the Bough Punch and a Gold Simply Elegant Trim bow and a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

Cardstock:  Pink, Lost Lagoon, Basic White, Moody Mauve Luster Speciality Paper, Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper
Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Large Number Dies (retired), Hexagonal Punch, Bough Punch, Gold Simply Elegant Trim, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems
