CASEing the Catty - #CTC362 Case a Sketch Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper

 

This week at CASEing the Catty we are using a sketch challenge inspired by the Annual Catalogue simplify or step it up collection on page 71.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Rebecca Scurr.

I am currently on holidays in Victoria but I made this card prior to leaving last weekend.

I have chosen to feature a retiring in color, Bumblebee and I have coordinated this with the beautiful Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.

I used Bumblebee cardstock as my base and layered a piece of matching DSP.  I then cut 4 @ 1 1/4" squares using 4 different designers, choosing 3 flowers and a lighter square that I could over stamp a sentiment in Black Memento.  I then add a lovely Fresh Freesia ribbon bow and some Polished Pink jewels.  

This design would be great to use up all those packs of designer series papers that we all have in our collection.  I would love to see you create some and share with me.

Stamp Set:  Flowing Flowers

Cardstock:  Bumblebee, Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Black Memento

Accessories:  Fresh Freesia 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon, Polished Pink In Color Jewels

CASEing the Catty - #CTC361 Case an Animal Card Flowing Flowers

This week at CASEing the Catty we are Caseing an Animal Card #CTC361 in either the Annual or January to June Mini Catalogues.

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

I have chosen to case the card from the Annual Catalogue on page 41 which featured the Bunches of Fun stamp set and the cute dog in a cone.

For my card I decided to use the layout of the card and the same colour tones of the orange/browns with a touch of green.

As the 2020-2022 In Colors will be retiring in the next couple of months I wanted to use these.  I have used Cinnamon Cider for my card base with a layer of  of Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper on top.  

I then stamped the flower in Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral and the leaves in Evening Evergreen and fussy cutting it out to create a round focal point.  Finally I added a sentiment in Cinnamon Cider and a little part circle in Basic White and some of my favourite Pale Papaya Jewels.

Stamp Set:  Flowing Flowers, Artistically Inked

Cardstock:  Cinnamon Cider, Basic White, Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, Cinnamon Cider, Evening Evergreen

Accessories:  Cut n Emboss Machine, Layering Circles Dies, Pale Papaya In Color Jewels

CASEing the Catty - #CTC359 Case a Die Project Pansy Dies

 

Wow, it's March already and we are now into autumn and in the Adelaide Hills the trees are starting to turn red and yellow.  

This week at CASEing the Catty we are highlighting Dies in either the Annual or January to June Catalogues.

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

I decided to use the Pansy Dies as I have had this bundle in my collection for a long time and the dies have not been used only the stamp set!  Also the Pansy Patch Bundle is reduced from $90 to $80 this month.

I have chosen a gift bag which is a direct CASE from the Annual Catalogue on page 28.  I thought creating the pansy, bud and leaves would be difficult with all the layers but it really surprised me that once I worked out the colours they glued together really easy and I was finished in no time.  

It took me longer to work out the joining of the textured embossing folder on the Ombre Gift Bag to make sure the checks flowed through in order.

I am definitely going to use these more now that I now they are not as complicated as they look.  

What dies/bundle do you have in your collection that you have not used?  Please share with us this week on the facebook group.

Stamp Set:  Pansy Patch

Cardstock: Soft Succulent , Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper
