CASEing the Catty - #CTC479 Case Mediterranean Blooms Suite

 

Today at CASEing the Catty we are featuring the Mediterranean Blooms Suite on page 34 of the Annual Catalogue.

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

I have chosen to case the card in the centre of the page which featured the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper.

I have swapped out the oranges to a bunch of lemons which I have fussy cut out, it only had 2 lemons so I cut out an additional one and added it to the bottom of the bunch.

I started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock and layered this with the shade of blue tile inspired Designer Series Paper cut out with the large die from the Suite.  

I then put on a little strip of the smaller lemon sheet and added the lemons and a sentiment with a couple extra flowers and finally added a gem to each of the centres of the flowers.

Stamp Set:  Simply Said

Cardstock:  Night of Navy, Basic White, Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Misty Moonlight

Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Citrus Bloom Die, In Color Shimmer Gems

CASEing the Catty - #CTC476 Case Sketch Sketched Butterflies Bundle

I am back from a 3 week overseas trip to Canada and Alaska, it was an amazing time.  I spent a day catching up with 2 Stampin' Up! demonstrators in Vancouver and then crafted with 31 other ladies on a 8 day Alaskan Cruise leaving from Seattle.

Welcome to the blog hop, or you may have come from Andrea Sargent.

This week at CASEing the Catty we are using a sketch which was inspired from a card on page 68 of the Annual Catalogue which I have shared below.

My card is a very quick and simple one as I wanted to participate this week but was busy doing many load of washing and managing to avoid jet lag.

I have chosen a piece of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper which I cut on an angle and fixed to a piece of Basic White cardstock and randomly stamped butterflies in Pretty Peacock.  I layered this onto a piece of Lost Lagoon and Thick Basic White Cardstock added a sentiment and a lovely bow and a few gems.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC468 Case the NEW Annual Catalogue

Tonight we are welcoming four new design team members, it's wonderful to have one of my direct team members and beautiful friend Andrea Sargent, Rochelle Laird-Smith, Courtney Houston and Rochelle Bock to the CASEing the Catty Crew and I look forward to their inspiration.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Rochelle Blok.

It's also exciting to showcase the new Annual Catalogue and this week you have the whole catalogue to case and that's a lot of beautiful artworks.

I have chosen to case the Leaf Collection background card featured on page 91, this stamp set was given to all the demonstrators at OnStage in Melbourne but it had not seen any ink until this card.

My card is very similar to the one in the catalogue, I have just chosen three colours Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Basic Beige.  

I started by using the new neutral colour of Basic Beige as my card base and then stamped the Leaf Collection background stamp once in each of the three colours onto Basic White cardstock and did some fussy cutting.  

On a piece of Basic Beige cardstock I then added my sentiment from Layering Leaves in Pretty Peacock which was cut out using one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies.  

It was then fun filling in all the gaps around the sentiment with the leaves in the different shades trying to get a good selection of designs and for the colours to be spread evenly on the card.  The leaves are all attached with dimensionals and then I filled in the smaller gaps with gems.

Stamp Set:  Leaf Collection, Layering Leaves

Cardstock:  Basic Beige, Basic White

Ink:  Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Basic Beige

Accessories:  Cut and Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Iridescent Foil Gems

CASEing the Catty - #CTC467 Case your Favourite Annual Catalogue Project

It's the last week of the Annual Catalogue and the CASEing the Catty Crew are featuring our favourite Annual Catalogue project.

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

Do you have a stash of Designer Series Paper?  I definitely don't get to use all the papers I purchase before they retire.  I am CASEing the Masterfully Made Suite Collection on page 102.

I love the bright colours of the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper which I mounted a piece over a piece of So Saffron cardstock.  I then layered some die cut leaves from the Artistic Dies in Azure Afternoon, a piece of ribbon and then added strip of Azure Afternoon cardstock which I stamped the sentiment and then just ripped the ends to give a little texture.  Finally I added some gems and it was finished a quick and easy card made so easy with the textures of the DSP.

Stamp Set:  Artistically Ink

Cardstock:  Azure Afternoon

CASEing the Catty - #CTC466 Case Your Favourite Mini Catalogue Project Perennial Lavender Suite

This week at CASEing the Catty we are featuring our favourite project from the Mini Catalogue and I could not go past the Perennial Lavender Suite Collection.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Tina Gillespie, who unfortunately will be leaving the Crew after this week.  As Tina lives also in Adelaide we still will be able to catch up for a coffee and create together.

My card that I have cased today is featured on page 22 in the Mini Catalogue.  

I have used a Thick Very Vanilla card base and added a strip of Gorgeous Grape cardstock down the left hand side and added a beautiful piece of the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.  

Two rectangles were cut out in Crumb Cake and Velum using the Perennial Postage Dies and I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape onto the Crumb Cake one to the right hand side.

On Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the lavender in Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Shaded Spruce and used the matching dies from Painted Lavender to cut them out.

I glued the vellum down and then added the ribbon and then with dimensionals added the Crumb Cake rectangle and then the 2 lavender flowers and finally five of the matching Purple Fine Shimmer Gems in Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.

Stamp Set:  Painted Lavender, Perennial Postage

Cardstock:  Thick Very Vanilla, Gorgeous Grape, Very Vanilla, Vellum, Crumb Cake, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper
