CASEing the Catty - #CTC377 Case Sale-A-Bration Tree Lot Dies

 

This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the Sale-A-Bration brochure and wow there are some amazing FREE products that can inspire you.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from the talented Rachel Palmieri.

I am in the process of preparing for my Christmas in July card class so I want to used the Tree Lot Dies which is featured on page 12 with the Trees for Sale matching stamp set which you can purchase in the July to December Mini Catalogue for $39.00.

The card to the left uses non traditional Christmas colours of Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Blushing Bride with Starry Sky card base.  These are colours I would never have picked for a Christmas card colour combination but it really does work.

First I used Whisper White Craft ink to stamp the circles on the Starry Sky card base.  

Then I stamped the two largest trees from the set in the four colours using the two step stamping technique - stamping off the ink with the background stamp and then with full ink with the highlighted branches.  

Die cut all the trees and the caravan in Very Vanilla with a piece of Basic White for the windows.

It's then just time to arrange the trees separating the colours and sizes to fit your card (mine are a little different to the catalogue) and mounting some on diminsionals for added effect, don't forget to die cut at couple of tree trunks for the front two trees.  Finally stamp the sentiment in one of the coordinating colours I chose the Polished Pink and add some of the gorgeous Iridescent White Adhesive Backed Stars.

Stamp Set:  Trees for Sale

Cardstock:  Starry Sky, Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake

Ink:  Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Blushing Bride

Accessories:  Cut n Emboss Machine, Tree Lot Dies, Adhesive Backed Stars

Love those Iridescent White Stars

After making the above card, I could not resist making one with shades of green and there are a lot of them - Parakeet Party, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Shaded Spruce and Evening Evergreen!

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

Ink:  Flirty Flamingo

Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Layering Circles Dies, Gingham Embossing Folder, Bough Punch, Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Stripe Ribbon, Flirty Flamingo 1/4" Gold Metallic Ribbon, Gold Simply Elegant Trim

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.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC328 Case Sketch Sale-A-Bration Penguin Playmates

Wow, what a week it has been in my life!!!  

South Australia went into 7 days lockdown, as an essential worker in a general practice it was even busier than normal with COVID Testing Clinics in the car park and COVID Vaccine Clinics within the practice plus the general consultation and of course telehealth so patients did not have to leave home.

It was a pleasure to craft to relax and put some balance back in my life, so welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Monique Fielder.

This week we are using the card sketch featured to the right which is from the Annual Catalogue on page 33.

I have decided to give you a little sneak peak of the oh cute Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper which you will be able to get for free during the Sale-A-Bration promotion that starts in August.

I had an idea to use the Peaceful Place Speciality Designer Series Paper from the upcoming Mini Catalogue as my background as the snowflakes falling onto the trees would make the feature of the card just pop.  I then fussy cut the penguin on the slay pulled by the polar bear and then added in the snowman.  Inside of a sentiment I decided to add some of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon to make it look like they are sliding along some snow.

That's another Christmas Card made in July, thanks for stopping by and I would love to see what you can create with this sketch challenge.  

Cardstock:  Fresh Fressia, Basic White, Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper, Peaceful Place Speciality Designer Series Paper

Accessories:  Metallic 1 1/2" Mesh Ribbon
