CASEing the Catty - #CTC502 Case Sale-A-Bration

 

This week Stampin' Up! have release the biggest promotion of the year - Sale-A-Bration! and we are featuring this brochure this week for CASEing the Catty.

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

I have chosen the card on page 8 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure which uses the FREE Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper.

I started with a Thick Basic White card base and I cut off 1 1/4" from the front so it would show off the inside panel.  I layered with 2 pieces of the Toadstool Gardens DSP in matching designs for the front cover and inside panel (2 15/16" x 5 13/6" and 2 15/16" x 1 6/16").

On a piece of Basic White cardstock I stamped the three Zinnia's from the Simply Zinnia Stamp Set in Black Memento ink and coloured then in with Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green blends to match the Designer Series Paper.  I then fussy cut the image as I wanted to only had a tiny bit of white show so the woodgrain would show through between the foliage.

With a piece of woodgrain DSP I die cut a circle and put adhered the zinnias with dimensionals.  I then used a piece of Linen Thread and tided it with a bow around the centre of the card, then added the woodgrain centrepiece and a sentiment.

Stamp Set:  Simply Zinnias,  Simply Said

Cardstock:  Thick Basic White, Basic White, Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Black Memento, Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green

Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Linen Thread

Heart of Christmas Blog Hop - Week 16

It's time to step up my Christmas cards making, as I have just worked out that I have only made 53 so far and I need more than double this amount.

Welcome to the Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team Heart of Christmas blog hop or you may have come from the Team Leader, Claire Daly.

I "found" in my craft room some stamped images from the Winterley Tree Tops which I stamped in Black Memento ink whist I was on The Great American Stampin' Cruise way back in June.  

It was time to get out my Stampin' Blends and do some colouring, for this one I have used Crumb Cake and a little Gray Granite for the bird and then a few shades of green for the foliage and then fussy cut out the images.

For the card I started with a Basic Beige card base layered with Mossy Meadow cardstock and Country Lace Designer Series Paper and wrapped some Night of Navy Linen Thread around a couple of times and tided a bow.

It was then time to cut out a circle for the Spotlight on Nature Dies which I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow and then cut the coloured foliage in half and added them with a layer of Mossy Meadow foliage from the Golden Greenery Dies.  Finally I added a few Pearl Berries to finish off the Christmas card.

Stamp Set:  Winterley Tree Tops, Peaceful Season

Cardstock:  Basic Ba, Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Country Lace Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Black Memento, Mossy Meadow, 

Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Golden Greenery Dies, Night of Navy Linen Thread, Pearl Berries
