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

Ink:  Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Basic White

Accessories:  Stampin' Cut &Emboss Machine, Pretty Poinsettia Dies

My card is cased from the card in the top left hand side of page 41.

I layered my piece of the Designer Series Paper onto Basic White cardstock and then with demensionals placed it onto piece Golden Glow cardstock for my card base.

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

Finally adding a couple of fern fronds from the set in Gold Glow and a few Clear Dewdrop Embellishments.

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

CASEing the Catty - #CTC562 Case a Scrapbooking Layout

I am back from Stampin' Up!'s OnStage event in Sydney and it was lovely to catch up with the CASEing the Catty Crew.  This week we are caseing a scrapbook layout and I am really enjoying creating a double page layout.

Thanks for taking the blog hop or you may have come from Monique Fielder.

I have chosen to feature the Scrapbooking Workshop Currently Loving which is available as an Online Exclusive product which is available for $63.00 for 3 double pages.

I have cased the pages as a direct copy and will be gifting them as a present within a scrapbooking album in the coming months.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC560 Case a Project Featuring Animals

I have not participated in the CASEing the Catty challenge since mid January due to some heart health issues, but I am slowly feeling better and have found relaxation in my craft room over the last few weekends.

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

This week we are caseing a project featuring animals and I have chosen the cute bunny on page 34 of the January to April Mini Catalogue.

The Formula One Grand Prix is in Melbourne, Australia this weekend and I remember attending the last one that was held in Adelaide where I was an Ayrton Senna fan with the black and gold race car.  Times have changed a lot in 31 years and now as a proud Australian I support Oscar Piastri and I could not go past colouring the car in his team colours.

I chose to stamp the side on view of the car with the checked flag in Peach Pie as a tone on tone background.  It was then time to copy the colours of the front on image of the McLaren Team Grand Prix Formula One Car, in Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Secret Sea.

With some fussy cutting of the checked flags and car, I layered them onto a piece of Designer Series Paper with demensionals to make them stand out and then finished off with a sentiment.

Stamp Set:  Ready, Set, Go!, Simply Said

Paper:  Peach Pie, Basic White, Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Black Memento, Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie
