#CTC366 Farewell Annual Catalogue

Our last week to Farewell the Annual Catalogue:

Lest We Forget! ANZAC Day tomorrow was the inspiration for my card and I turned to the Painted Poppies for some ideas. Page 25 and the tag top left:

I started by making a tag with Real Red cardstock and punched the top with the (retired) Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Using Memento Black ink I've stamped the tall poppy from Painted Poppies a few times. I then threaded two pieces of Crinkled Whisper White Seam Binding and tied it off with another piece. The Basic White layer has been Clear heat embossed with the open poppy from Painted Poppies. I added this panel to a Real Red mat and attached to a base card of Basic Black.

I've attached the tag with Stampin' Dimensionals and added some Polished Dots. The greeting is diecut in Basic Black and Basic White using the Amazing Thanks Dies and adhered to the tag.. 

Red, Black and White are always a winning colour combination. So pleased to see the Painted Poppies will reappear in the new catalogue. 

Sorry you have to look close to see the clear embossing but I like the subtleness.

We hope you can join us this week as we Farewell the Annual Catalogue. Pop a photo of your creation on our Facebook page using the link over on the right.

Next on the hop we have Michelle and her stunning masculine card using products I am sad to see go:

#CTC364 Easter

 

CASE an Easter card:

I've gone to Page 77 of the January-June Mini Catalogue:

The base card is Misty Moonlight which will retire soon. The top layer is also Misty Moonlight and I've used the same background stamp as the CASE card to stamp the image three times from Daffodil Daydream using Black Memento ink then added it to the base card.

The Peony dies were used to cut the portions of the flower from Basic White and the leaves from Granny Apple Green and Old Olive. I've embossed the flower parts with the Bark 3D Embossing folder for a bit more texture. 

The greeting is diecut using Amazing Thanks Dies in Basic White and Basic Black then adhering together and adding to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. All rounded off with a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The Peony Dies will also retire soon, the greeting dies are sticking around a bit longer.

We hope you will find some time to join the crew this week, whether you make a card for Easter or just use an Easter card as your inspiration. Post it to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Next on the hope we have our amazing friend Tina:
