I am sharing with you the Tea Together stamp set available in the Occasions Catalogue for $38 which has the FREE Tea Time Framelits Dies which are available with a $180 spend on any of the items in either catalogues.

I have stamped the tea cup three times in Calypso Coral and then used Calypso Coral and Mango Melody with sponge daubers, leaving some white showing to give a more depth of colours and then cut them out with the Framelits Dies.

I have cut a little slit in the top of the cups so they would fit inside each other, just like you would stack them up.

CASEing the Catty Amazing Life Bundle - #CTC217

I am back creating!!! It's been awhile since I have had an mojo to use my new products from the Occassion Catalogue, but I decided to use my favourite item in the catalogue the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies and the matching Amazing Life stamp set (which is available as a bundle for $85.50) which is featured in the Happiness Blooms section (pages 24-33).

Welcome to this weeks Casing the Catty Sunday Challenge, you maybe starting here so welcome or you may have come from Simone Bartrum.

I have cased the card to the left, I decided to use the Lemon Line Twist Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper with a window card and then stamped the beautiful large sentiment in the middle in Black Stazon.  Don't forget to reink up the Black Stazon pad to get a really good image with the photopolymer stamp (and clean it off once it's been used with Stazon Cleaner and then spray it with Stampin' Mist to condition the rubber as the Stazon Cleaner may do damage to the rubber if left on for an extended period).

As I did not want any of the Whisper White cardstock showing on the flowers I stamped the image in Black Stazon and then fussy cut the image close to the black lines and then used my makers and made sure I coloured over the black lines and around the edges.

Stamp Set:  Amazing Life

Ink:  Black Stazon, Lemon Lime Twist, Crushed Curry, Mango Melody and Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Markers

Cardstock:  Lemon Lime Twist, Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper

Accessories:  Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies

CASEing the Catty Lovely Lattice CTC214

Caseing the Catty is again featuring the Sale-A-Bration promotion this week, I am challenging you all my blog and facebook followers to participate this week, if you don't know how to post onto the facebook page or you are not on facebook, please send me a photo of your creation and I'll post it for you.

You maybe starting here so welcome or you could have come from Tina Gillespie, another Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from South Australia.

Today, I was inspired by the below two cards in the brochure, so I decide I would combine the two.  I took the technique from the card on the left with the image and colours from the card on the right.

I was really happy with how it turned out,  I started with a piece of Whisper White and cut it out with one of the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (love them) and then stamped the image in Grey Granite and then used a smaller Rectangle Die to cut out the spotlight.

I used a sponge dauber in Daffodil Delight to create the background and then coloured the flowers and leaves in with Pool Party and Old Olive Blends with a light Daffodil Delight for the flower centres.

I don't know if this is technique is called a reverse spotlight card as the coloured image is usually raised but in my case it is the surrounding area that is raised as per the card above.

Stamp Set:  Lovely Lattice, Fable Friends
Cardstock:  Pool Party, Grey Granite, Whisper White
Ink:  Grey Granite, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Old Olive Blends
Accessories:  Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Rectangle Stitched  Framelits Dies, Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins
