CASE-ing the Catty Christmas - CTC41

I had to participate in this week's CASE-ing the Catty as we are featuring Christmas.  You may have come from Rachel Palmieri or you might be starting here, but don't forget to hop to all the posts as you will love them all and it's never too earlier to start your Christmas Cards.

I held my Christmas in July Card Class earlier in the month and this is one of the cards we made using the Wondrous Wreath with the matching Framelits.

I used the new Corrugated Paper (which comes in a pack of 2 White and 2 Kraft 12" x 12" sheets for $12.25) and I used my sponge daubers with Crumb Cake ink to create the random dots on the Corrugated Paper, which gave great depth but it was oh so simple.

Stamp Set:  Wondrous Wreath
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Kraft Corrugated Paper, Whisper White
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake
Accessories:  Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Wonderful Wreath Framelits, Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Sponge Daubers, Banner Triple Punch

CASE-ing the Catty Gift Packaging - CTC40

I have had a couple of week's break from CASE-ing the Catty but I was inspired to create on the weekend and I chose the below packaging to create a Christmas Card.

I love making simple cards that I can mass produce for my Christmas Card supply and I try to start making them from July so I don't have a huge issue in late November/early December when I am need to post them.

You may have come from Judy May and wow oh wow I love her gift bag, but you may have started here too, but don't forget to hop all the way around.
I used a piece of Merry Moments Designer Series Paper as my background and then used the Trees Punch to make my clear and simple design with just a piece of Baker's Twine to finish it off.

Stamp Set:  Festival of Trees
Cardstock:  Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Merry Moments Designer Series Paper
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler
Accessories:  Tree Punch, Old Olive Baker's Twine

Today some of the Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team girls are presenting some fabulous Christmas projects to inspire you.  This year we already have new Christmas stamp sets to play with in the Annual Catalogue, and some old favourites too.

We also have a brand new 2015 Holiday Catalogue coming soon.  If you would like a copy of any of our catalogues, to attend a Stampin' Up! Class or join a large fabulous group of crafty women by becoming part of the team (hobby demonstrators welcome), be sure to contact me.

Don't you always leave your Christmas Cards to the last minute well with Christmas in July you can make an early start and hasn't Judy May created a fantastic card or you might be starting here, but don't forget to hop around to all the blogs for wonderful Christmas inspiration.

I decide to make a pop out swing card (lots of you tube videos to help you), which I had seen featured recently and I combined it with the new Christmas stamp set from the annual catalogue, Every Blessing.  I love this set as it has a lovely christian image with a couple of beautiful greetings for the front and inside of your cards.

I will be making this card on Saturday afternoon with my group of lovely ladies at my monthly card class, and I am hoping they will love it as much as I did designing it.

Stamp Set:  Every Blessing
Cardstock:  Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper
Ink: Lost Lagoon
Accessories:  Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Square Collection Framelits, Silver 1/8" Ribbon, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack
