#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:

#CTC363 CASE Favourite Retiring Bundle

CASE your Favourite Retiring Bundle

Always a sad time of the year seeing what won't appear in the next catalogue but mixed with a touch of happy at the lovely new products you'll see in a month.

I've CASEd the Many Layered Blossoms bundle card on Page 158:

This challenge coincided with the need for a Sympathy Card. I started with a base card of Thick Basic White and changed the stencilled background to an embossed layer of Basic White using the Bark 3D Embossing Folder.

The flower layer was made using Highland Heather from the thicker Many Layered Blossoms dies. The top layer was Basic White with Adhesive sheet adhered to the back of it, makes it much easier to match up and attach the two sections together. I then lay all this onto a piece of Hand-Penned DSP and fussy cut so that it filled in as the background without any extra showing. 

The greeting from Blossoms in Bloom was stamped in Highland Heather onto a diecut from my spares box and I tucked one end in behind a flower.

The Highland Heather centres of each flower have been touched up using Wink of Stella. 

I think I'll have to hang onto this set for just a bit longer. 

What is your favourite retiring bundle? Maybe you'll join us with the challenge this week. Make a card using it or CASEing it before next Sunday evening and add it to our Facebook page.

Next up we have our friend Julia and some more of her fabulous scrapbooking:

#CTC362 CASE Sketch Page 71

CASE the Sketch from Page 71 of the Annual Catalogue:

And in simpler form:

I've chosen the stepped up version on the right hand side to CASE.

I started with a base card of Crumb Cake and cut another panel of Crumb Cake to emboss with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Onto that using Crumb Cake again, I've adhered a few fences and grain bags that were diecut using the Birthday Chick dies.

I've stamped Hey Birthday Chick images in Memento ink, coloured with Stampin' Blends and diecut each with the matching Birthday Chick die. Using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch, I've punched two Soft Sea Foam and one Just Jade shapes. The greeting from Hey Birthday Chick was stamped in Just Jade ink onto Basic White and punched as the last piece to my square. Next i've punched two of the chicks so only part of the image fitted on the shape, and adhered it to the Soft Sea Foam shapes lining up the postage edges. 

I've overlapped each and adhered them together to form a square then added the whole panel to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Such fun images makes it a lot less formal than the original.

We can't wait to see you join us for this challenge. Post your creation to our Facebook using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Next up we have the lovely Rebecca:

#CTC321 CASE a Mini Catty Project and Give a Masculine Twist

 

CASE a Layout from the Mini Catalogue and Give it a Masculine Twist!

My inspiration came from the card on the top right Page 35:

I've diecut five stars from Gray Granite cardstock using Stitched Stars Dies and embossed using the following Embossing Folders: Brick & Mortar 3D, Bark 3D and Tasteful Textile 3D.

My base card is Gray Granite and the DSP from In Good Taste is matted with Night of Navy and attached to the base. Then the stars were adhered in place. The greeting from Garden Wishes is inked with Night of Navy onto Gray Granite and diecut using the Meadow Dies with some Night of Navy Baker's Twine added to the back and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Quite a switch from the CASEd card, don't you think?

The crew would love to see your version of the challenge. Post your project to our Facebook page before next Sunday evening using the link over on the right.

Next up we're off to see what Monique has for us:

#CTC318 CASE a Die Bundle from the New Catalogue

Welcome to our weekly blog hop where this week you'll find us CASE a Die Bundle from the New Annual Catalogue (pages 157-161):

I've used the picture at the top left of Page 161:

The base card is So Saffron and I've cut another panel of So Saffron and embossed it with the new Bark 3D Embossing Folder before adhering to the base to give some more interest. I stuck some Adhesive Sheet to the back of some So Saffron cardstock and diecut several butterflies using the Meadow Dies. I've then randomly attached them to the embossed panel. 

The greeting from Happiest of Birthdays was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto Basic White cardstock and diecut with the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I've stamped the little flowers from Quiet Meadow around the edge of the greeting in So Saffron to mimic the CASEd card and attached to the panel with Stampin' Dimensionals. My embellishments of choice were gold Metallic Pearls.

Although the original had some stamping on the diecutss, the butterflies didn't need it as the die embossed some detail as it cut giving it a little interest without being busy::

Wonder if you'll find a die bundle that inspires you to make a project and post your photo to our Facebook page prior to next Sunday evening using the link up on the right.

Please carry on with the hop by seeing what our friend Rebecca has for us:
