CASEing the Catty - #CTC581 Case Velvet Meadow Suite

This week at CASEing the Catty we are featuring the Velvet Meadow Suite which is on pages 32 and 33 of the May to August Catalogue.

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

What a beautiful suite this is and I love the Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper which I could not go past using again.  

I have completed a direct case from the sample in the catalogue with a few differences.  I don't have the banner dies, so I just used my scissors to create the bottom feature of the banner.  

I also used the upcoming Notes of Collage Bundles for the foliage in Peaceful Pine, this set will be released in November in the Online Exclusives.  I stamped a little floral image in Basic Beige from the Fern & Floral stamp set and the sentiment in Berry Burst comes from the Lilly of the Valley.

Finally I added some white flower embellishments from the packet of Hues of Blues Flowers which I coloured some with a Berry Burst Blend.

Stamp Set:  Notes of College, Lily of the Valley, Fern & Flora

Cardstock:  Bubble Bath, Basic White, Velvet Meadows Specialty Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Peaceful Pine, Berry Burst

Accessories:  Cut and Emboss Machine, Notes of Collage Dies, Hues of Blue Flowers

CASEing the Catty - #CTC578 Case July Online Exclusives

This week at CASEing the Catty the Crew are caseing the July Online Exclusive products, and wow there are a lot of the Christmas products have arrived in my home.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Monique Fielder.

It's July, and it's one of my favourite times with Stampin' Up! as it's Christmas in July where I start my Christmas card collection each year and this week I am caseing one of the cards from the Pretty Poinsettia bundle.   

My card is an exact copy using the three red tones - Poppy Parade, Real Red and Cherry Cobbler in the poinsettias.  I then stamped the leaves in Garden Green and Mossy Meadow before die cutting them all out.  

Starting with a Crumb Cake card base I stamped tone on tone with the cute little flower clusters in the corners and then added the poinsettias with dimensional and added the sentiment in the centre and then poked in the leaves all around the centrepiece.

Stamp Set:  Pretty Poinsettia

I added a sentiment and die cut surround from the matching Fern & Floral stamp set and dies in Golden Glow and Black.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC572 Case a Bundle

I have been busy with work and scrapbooking over the last few weeks, but it was time for me to participate in this week's CASEing the Catty bundles section of the catalogue from pages 36 to 42.

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

This week I have chosen to case the Phrases & Frames bundle card in the top left hand corner on page 37.  This bundle is extra special as they include the new impressions dies which really pop.

The rectangle die is quite large and I end up making a 4 1/2" x 6" card so I have room around the beautiful Basic White decorative frame to showcase it onto a Peaceful Pine and Thick White cardstock base.

The Velvet Meadow Speciality Designer Series Paper with the flocked raised surface did not need anything else but a sentiment and a few sequins.

Stamp Set:  Opulent Oasis

Cardstock:  Thick Basic White, Peaceful Pine, Basic White, Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Peaceful Pine

Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Phrases & Frames Dies, Clear Sunset Sparkle Sequins

CASEing the Catty #CTC564 Case Mini Catalogue Bundle

 

This week at Caseing the Catty we are featuring the Bundle pages of the January to May Mini Catalogue which are on pages 50 to57.  

Welcome on to the Easter Long Weekend blog hop or you may have come from Peta Stephen.

I have chosen to case the card on the left hand side of page 56 and turn it into a lovely Easter card with a fancy fold to create a cross.  

I started with a standard A5 piece of cardstock and folded it in half and with the front half, I folded it back onto its self to create three equal panels which formed the vertical part of the cross.  I adhered a strip of Basic Beige cardstock across the middle to create the horizontal part of the cross.

Inspired by the darker colours on the edges of the card, I placed some lovely Floral Charm Designer Series Paper and on the edges.  I punched out a circle in Lost Lagoon and white embossed the Easter Greeting before adding this with dimensionals.  I die cut some of the fern leaves from the upcoming Fern & Coral bundle in Basic Beige and Night of Navy and fixed them under the circle and added a baker's twine bow.

Finally, I stamped the church and he is risen inside the card, and wrote my message on the back of the card.

Stamp Set:  Blessed Beginnings, Faith Collection (retired)

Cardstock:  Basic Beige, Lost Lagoon, Night of Navy, Floral Charm Designer Series Paper, 

Ink:  Night of Navy, Basic Beige, Versamark

Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Fern & Flora Dies, Baker's Twine, 2 3/8" Circle Punch, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool
