CASEing the Catty - #CTC375 Case your Favourite Retiring Product Boughs & Blossoms

This week CASEing the Catty are highlighting the January to June Mini Catalogue and a favourite retiring product you only have until Thursday to purchase any Last Chance stamp sets and accessories.

Welcome to the blog hop if you are starting here or you may have come from good friend, Rachel Palmieri .

I have chosen this week to featured the Boughs and Blossoms Bundle, the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set is retiring however my favourite punch Bough has carried over into the Annual Catalogue.

This bundle you can find on page 26 of the Mini Catalogue.

I have used Pale Papaya for my base card and layered it onto another piece of Pale Papaya and used clear embossing powder with the leaves and nut stamps to create a lovely shiny finish.  

Then tore a piece of Basic White cardstock and added two Pale Papaya flowers on top instead of the sentiment.

Adding punched out Parakeet Party leaves and nuts adding them under the Orchid Oasis twine which was wrapped around a couple of times and tidied in a bow and left two long ends hanging down.

Finally I stamped "a little hello" in Pale Papaya which filled in the clear space at the bottom of the card and added three tiny pearls to the centre of each flower.

Stamp Set:  Boughs & Blossoms

Cardstock:  Pale Papaya, Parakeet Party, Basic White

Ink:  Pale Papaya, Versamark

Accessories:  Bough Punch, Orchid Oasis Baker's Twine, Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels, Heat Tool

Now it's time to see what Peta Stephen's has created this week.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC374 Case a Favourite Retiring Mini Bundle Home & Garden Bundle

This week at CASEing the Catty we are Caseing your favourite retiring Mini Bundles.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Sandra Collett.

I am at home recovering from a cold (luckily it was not covid) but it meant I was grounded in Adelaide and unable to fly to Melbourne and join 8 other Stampin' Up! demonstrators for a long weekend of crafting in Rye.

I have chosen the Home & Garden bundle to feature this week which is on page 72 of the January to June Mini Catalogue.

I have made two cards this week, one for the Beginner stamper and one for the Avid stamper.

The cased card is for the Avid Stamper, a stepped up version but it has the same colour theme and more layers and accessories.

I have used Very Vanilla and the Timber 3D  Embossing Folder for my background and then layered some Night of Navy Baker's Twine and tied a fake bow at the top.  

A banner of Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper is placed down next and then I stamped all the tools in Early Espresso and used my Stampin' Blends to add a pop of colour.

Stamp Set:  Home & Garden

Cardstock:  Thick Very Vanilla, Very Vanilla, Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Early Espresso, Stampin' Up! Blends

Accessories:  Cut n Emboss Machine, Garden Dies, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Night of Navy Twine
