CASE-ing the Catty Time of Year - #CTC106

This week at CASE-ing the Catty we are featuring the Hostess Sets from either the Annual or Holiday Catalogues.

You may be starting here so welcome or you may have come from Julia Quinn and she has not disappointed again this week.

I am sharing with you a card that I made at my Card Class, I love when I am rushing around and don't have alot of inspiration I can just go to the catalogues and case a card.  I am using the Time of Year Hostess stamp set from the Annual Catalogue and it has lots of themes - Christmas, Birthdays and anything in between.

I have used a strip of the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate on the gold side (yes it's gold on one side and silver on the other), as I did not have enough to share with all my class attendees, but it still makes an impact.  To create the details on the corners of the Whisper White cardstock I used my smallest Circle Punch to cut off a quarter of a circle.

I have made this card in shades of pinks and purples but I did case the one to the left in Christmas colours too as it's only 4 weeks to Christmas Day now and I need to add to my Christmas Card Box quickly!
