CASEing the Catty - #CTC377 Case Sale-A-Bration Tree Lot Dies

 

This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the Sale-A-Bration brochure and wow there are some amazing FREE products that can inspire you.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from the talented Rachel Palmieri.

I am in the process of preparing for my Christmas in July card class so I want to used the Tree Lot Dies which is featured on page 12 with the Trees for Sale matching stamp set which you can purchase in the July to December Mini Catalogue for $39.00.

The card to the left uses non traditional Christmas colours of Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Blushing Bride with Starry Sky card base.  These are colours I would never have picked for a Christmas card colour combination but it really does work.

First I used Whisper White Craft ink to stamp the circles on the Starry Sky card base.  

Then I stamped the two largest trees from the set in the four colours using the two step stamping technique - stamping off the ink with the background stamp and then with full ink with the highlighted branches.  

Die cut all the trees and the caravan in Very Vanilla with a piece of Basic White for the windows.

It's then just time to arrange the trees separating the colours and sizes to fit your card (mine are a little different to the catalogue) and mounting some on diminsionals for added effect, don't forget to die cut at couple of tree trunks for the front two trees.  Finally stamp the sentiment in one of the coordinating colours I chose the Polished Pink and add some of the gorgeous Iridescent White Adhesive Backed Stars.

Stamp Set:  Trees for Sale

Cardstock:  Starry Sky, Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake

Ink:  Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Blushing Bride

Accessories:  Cut n Emboss Machine, Tree Lot Dies, Adhesive Backed Stars

Love those Iridescent White Stars

After making the above card, I could not resist making one with shades of green and there are a lot of them - Parakeet Party, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Shaded Spruce and Evening Evergreen!

CASEing the Catty - #CTC356 Colours of the Heart & Home DSP, Catching the Butterflies

Wow another week has gone by and it's been a creative week with preparing for my card class yesterday which was my first for the year.  I decided to do a card that I could also feature in this week's CASEing the Catty Challenge by using the Colours of the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper - Pale Papaya, Garden Green, Misty Moonlight, Fresh Freesia, Cinnamon Cider and Basic Gray.

Welcome if you are starting here or you may have come from Julia Quinn.

I have chosen the card on page 58 to CASE using very similar colours and design with my card base being Pale Papaya and I used the cute little girl from the Sale-A-Bration Catching Butterflies stamp set.  

When recreating the card, it was only then that I notice that the Heart & Home Doily had more textured that the cut out featured and I swapped out the Hive 3D Embossing Folder for one that I had in my collection from the Annual Catalogue, Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

Stamp Set:  Catching Butterflies, Blessings of Home

Cardstock:  Pale Papaya, Basic White, Heart & Home Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Black Memento, Misty Moonlight (Pale Papaya, Cinnamon Cider, Fresh Freesia, SU700, SU800 Stampin' Blends)

I have chosen the card featured on page 8, which uses the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle which I kindly borrowed from my talented team member, Andrea Sargent.

I am using the 6" x 8" Album with the Photo Pocket Pages, the Blessings of Home Bundle, Heart & Home Designer Series Papers and the Memories & More Card Pack.

I have selected a photograph and then chose the 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper which I cut out using the largest rainbow dies and layered the them onto Basic White cardstock which I had ran through the Hive 3D Embossing Folder.  

To finish it off I added some  Highland Heather under the photo and strip of Fresh Freesia cardstock with the "you make me happy" sentiment and a cloud which I included the names of the guests and a little twine bow.

Wow I am loving the pockets as they make it oh so quick!  

I then completed the other pockets with handwritten cards from the guests featured with matching photographs.  

As I finished this in no time, I went on to create another double page which features CASEing the Catty Crew member, Rachel Palmieri who made the road trip from Melbourne with her husband to celebrate with me and enjoy a lovely refreshing holiday.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC351 Sale-A-Bration Friendly Hello

Happy New Year!  I hope you had a lovely break after Christmas.  I had been very busy prior to Christmas making invitations to my birthday in mid January and catching up with friends that I have not participate in the CASEing the Catty blog hop in oh so long.  Thanks to all the other team member how continue to inspire you each week, you are all amazing.

Welcome if you are starting here, or you may have come from Judy May.

This week we are featuring the Sale-A-Bration promotional brochure, unfortunately due to the worldwide shipping issues the South Pacific only have received a small selection of the products to date, but we are very hopefully that they will arrive in a couple of weeks.

I have chosen to CASE the host stamp set card on page 17, but have utilised the FREE Friendly Hello stamp set and match Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper, which is available with a $180 purchase.

I decided to use the Petal Pink Designer Series Paper and matched this with Flirty Flamingo for the contrast.  Wow I am in love with the new Bough Punch, and I know I will be using this all the time as I like going to punches for a quick and easy background feature.

During the last week I have been tidying my craft room and I realised I have an addiction for ribbon as I must have all of them!  So it is my goal this year to use up my rolls instead of just admiring them.  So I used the Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Ribbons to make a gorgeous bow and then added some Gold Trim.  

Pictured is my collection to date, with only the small box on the bottom left being current.

Stamp Set:  Friendly Hello

Cardstock:  Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper

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

I have chosen to CASE the card on page 2 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure on the left, as it a very small image it probably has been looked over, but I just had to use the Paper Lattice that I have had in my collection for sometime without opening the packet.

I have decided to use the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper for my card this week.   Firstly I used the checkered Pool Party DSP sheet as my background and then mounted the Kraft Paper Lattice sheet on top with dimensionals.  I layered a small rectangle piece Basic White which I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler and put a strip of matching Cherry Cobbler and Gold Ribbon down the right hand side.

Do you love the dogs and cats in the DSP?  I fussy cut a couple out and layered them on top and finally added a couple of Gold Brushed Metallic Dots.

After finishing the card utilising the Sweet Stockings DSP, I decided to make an additional card using the FREE Sale-A-Bration Penguin Playmates DSP and flipped the orientation of the card around to a landscape card.  

Which one is your favourite?
