CASE-ing the Catty Sale-A-Bration Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper - #CTC68

I don't have any of the new Limited Time products from the Sale-A-Bration promotion, but I do have the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper and the Balloon Builder punch from the Occasions Catalogue so I thought I would utilise them both this week in CASE-ing the Catty #CTC68 which are highlighting the Sale-A-Bration promotion.

You may have come from Elizabeth Gross and she never does disappoint either.

I am case-ing the card to the left which uses the Party Pants 12 piece stamp set (wood or clear-mount) and the Metallics Glitter Tape which are now available for FREE with a $90 purchase.

My card uses the Balloon Builder Punch and the Balloon Builders stamp set for stamping the balloon tails which I coordinated with the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper.  I have decorated the centre balloon with Gold Sequin Trim and the Gold Metallic Thread and added a little greeting to the corner to finish off the card.

The 3 Sale-A-Bration products Hello stamp set, Sky is the Limit stamp set and Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper are still currently available but they are getting very low on supply but you can still order now.

Stamp Set: Balloon Builders, Hello
Cardstock:  Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper
Ink:  Calypso Coral, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive

Stampin' Up! Onstage Display Board Stampers

I am attending Stampin' Up!'s Onstage Local in Sydney in April and I am accepting the invitation to apply for Stampin' Up!'s search for attendees to create some cards and projects as an Event Display Stamper.

I have had a busy week so I have selected three cards, a Project Life page and a couple of 3d projects.  I am not expecting to be chosen as there are so many fantastic demonstrators who will be attending but like the saying goes you have to be in it to win it!

Botanical Blooms, Botanical Builder Framelits Dies & Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper

I am sharing with you today a card that my guests made on Sunday at my card class.  It uses the amazing Botanical Blooms Bundle and it was inspired by a card made by Amy Koenders.

I love the effect the leaf edgelit makes and with the designer series paper showing through it just stands out.

My flowers have been die cut in Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight and I used my sponge dauber to give depth in the middle in Calypso Coral and a little Soft Suede on the stamens.  The leaves are again die cut in Mossy Meadow and I have used Mossy Meadow ink to stamp in the veins.

It took me quite some time to position all the elements of this card but I was really happy in the end and so were my attendees, it did take a while to die cut all the pieces but everyone was really happy with the end product.  I used the Hexagon Punch to make the ends of my 2 banners so they matched nicely.

CASE-ing the Catty Birthday Blooms - #CTC67

This week at CASE-ing the Catty #CTC67 we are featuring the Birthday Bouquet section in the Occasions Catalogue I could not go passed Birthday Blooms stamp set.  I was inspired by the below colours in this bloom.

You may have come from Monique Fielder and don't you just love her card this week.

Again this week I have used Black Stazon to stamp the image and then I have used Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and finally Calypso Coral with a sponge dauber to colour this beautiful flower.  I then used Pear Pizzazz with a tiny touch of Old Olive for the leaves.  I then fussy cut out the bloom close to the image and then with my Black Stampin' Write Marker went around the edge to finish it off.

CASE-ing the Catty Sale-A-Bration Honeycomb Happiness - #CTC66

Welcome again to CASE-ing the Catty #CTC66, we are featuring Sale-A-Bration products this week again and I am featuring the oh so cute Honeycomb Happiness stamp set.

You may have come from Rachel Palmieri and don't you just love her creative inspiration this week.

I made a 3 3/4" square card (so you can make 3 cards out of 1 piece of A4 Thick Whisper White cardstock) and then I had to make a matching gift box.

I have used the Kraft Extra-Large Gift Boxes which are on the Clearance Rack at a fantastic price of $2.79 (reduced from $6.95) for 3 gift boxes which I have filled with Easter Egg.

I have used a sponge dauber to colour my cute little chicken, starting with Daffodil Delight and then  highlighted with Delightful Dijon on the edges.  To colour the beak and feet I used my trusty Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker.

The Honeycomb Embellishments come in Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron and White but I wanted a yellow tummy.  I used a Stampin' Spritzer with some water, then I spritzed the Honeycomb Embellishment and then used my Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Marker to colour it in as I did not have a reinker to fill up my Stampin' Spritzer with colour.


Stamp Set:  Honeycomb Happiness
Cardstock:   Thick Whisper White, Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper
Ink:  Black Stazon, Daffodil Delight, Delightful Dijon, Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker, Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Maker
Accessories:  Honeycomb Embellishments, Extra-Large Gift Box, Stampin' Spritzer
