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

CASEing the Catty - #CTC368 Case a Favourite Annual Catalogue Project Sending Smiles

It's new Catty time! Time to play with new products!

This week as CASEing the Catty #CTC368 we are caseing your Favourite Annual Catalogue project, which I am featuring the Sending Smiles Bundle.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Michelle Strazds.

I am caseing the card on page 14 and have decided that it will be a card I can easily use all the new in colors - Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis.

I choose to use a background die from Poppy Moments which I had not used before, I repeated cutting it out 3 times to create my card front background and then stamped and die cut all the flowers, stems and sentiments for the Sending Smiles Bundle.  

Finally I added a few of the Brushed Brass Butterflies which I thought looked like they were flying around the garden of flowers.

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

This week at CASEing the Catty we are Caseing a Masking Project from either the Annual or January to June Mini Catalogue.

Welcome to the Blog Hop if you are starting here or you may have come from Monique Fielder.

I really like the new Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks from the Mini Catalogue and I could not go past using the flowers and leaves from this beautiful set.

I have Cased the card on page 65 of the Mini Catalogue I have used a piece of Misty Moonlight Heart & Home Designer Series paper for my background instead of the masking.  

I cut a piece of Basic White using the Orante Layers Dies and then layered the beautiful flowers with the Blending Brushes in Calypso Coral, then Magenta Madness and finally added the leaves in Pear Pizzazz.  To finish it I added the sentiment and a little gold bow.

I don't often put an insert in the card but with the Misty Moonlight cardstock I decide to add the largest die from the Ornate Layers Dies and a little matching DSP.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC356 Colours of the Heart & Home DSP, Catching the Butterflies

Wow another week has gone by and it's been a creative week with preparing for my card class yesterday which was my first for the year.  I decided to do a card that I could also feature in this week's CASEing the Catty Challenge by using the Colours of the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper - Pale Papaya, Garden Green, Misty Moonlight, Fresh Freesia, Cinnamon Cider and Basic Gray.

Welcome if you are starting here or you may have come from Julia Quinn.

I have chosen the card on page 58 to CASE using very similar colours and design with my card base being Pale Papaya and I used the cute little girl from the Sale-A-Bration Catching Butterflies stamp set.  

When recreating the card, it was only then that I notice that the Heart & Home Doily had more textured that the cut out featured and I swapped out the Hive 3D Embossing Folder for one that I had in my collection from the Annual Catalogue, Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

Stamp Set:  Catching Butterflies, Blessings of Home

Cardstock:  Pale Papaya, Basic White, Heart & Home Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Black Memento, Misty Moonlight (Pale Papaya, Cinnamon Cider, Fresh Freesia, SU700, SU800 Stampin' Blends)

Accessories:  Cut n Embossing Machine, Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, Heart & Home Doilies, Denim 3/8" Ribbon, Night of Navy Fan Baker's Twine

CASEing the Catty - #CTC351 Sale-A-Bration Friendly Hello

Happy New Year!  I hope you had a lovely break after Christmas.  I had been very busy prior to Christmas making invitations to my birthday in mid January and catching up with friends that I have not participate in the CASEing the Catty blog hop in oh so long.  Thanks to all the other team member how continue to inspire you each week, you are all amazing.

Welcome if you are starting here, or you may have come from Judy May.

This week we are featuring the Sale-A-Bration promotional brochure, unfortunately due to the worldwide shipping issues the South Pacific only have received a small selection of the products to date, but we are very hopefully that they will arrive in a couple of weeks.

I have chosen to CASE the host stamp set card on page 17, but have utilised the FREE Friendly Hello stamp set and match Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper, which is available with a $180 purchase.

I decided to use the Petal Pink Designer Series Paper and matched this with Flirty Flamingo for the contrast.  Wow I am in love with the new Bough Punch, and I know I will be using this all the time as I like going to punches for a quick and easy background feature.

During the last week I have been tidying my craft room and I realised I have an addiction for ribbon as I must have all of them!  So it is my goal this year to use up my rolls instead of just admiring them.  So I used the Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Ribbons to make a gorgeous bow and then added some Gold Trim.  

Pictured is my collection to date, with only the small box on the bottom left being current.

Stamp Set:  Friendly Hello

Cardstock:  Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper

Caseing the Catty - #CTC331 Mini Catalogue Counting Sheep and Sheep Dies

 

It's a sunny Sunday here in the Adelaide Hills, my daffodils are starting to come out, so spring must only be around the corner.

This week at CASEing the Catty we are featuring the Mini Catalogue.  

Welcome to the blog hop if you have started here or you may have joined in from Sandra Collett.

I have chosen to use the image of the penguin on page 33 as a sketch with I have coordinated with the Counting Sheep and matching Sheep Dies from the Sale-A-Bration promotion as I wanted to highlight them at my class earlier today.

I used the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper to use as a background, I coloured the sheep with the Blends and then used the coordinating dies to create the scene with the gate, balloons and sun.

The sheep are just so cute as they speak to me as they are celebrating a birthday with lots of fun.
