#CTC327 CASE the Holiday Section

Before I start - I have to credit the CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge on their Seventh Anniversary today!

What a great achievement and though I can't take credit for being with the crew that long, I enjoy taking part each week that I can, creating alongside a fantastic group of ladies.

This week #CTC327 has us CASE the Holiday Section - Pages 88-95

I've chosen the card in the middle of Page 95, but opted to switch it from a Christmas card to a Birthday card using some stamps and dies that haven't seen a lot of use lately,

I started by stamping a bird from Birds & Branches in Night of Navy ink onto Pool Party cardstock and die cutting it with the Birds & More Dies. I've also diecut a branch from Cinnamon Cider using the same dies. I've matted a panel of Basic White with Mango Melody cardstock and adhered my diecuts in place. The party hat is from Turtle Friends, stamped in Black Memento Ink and fussy cut then coloured with Stampin'  Blends (Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo).  

The greeting is also from Turtle Friends, stamped in Black Memento ink onto Mango Melody cardstock and fussy cut before adding it to the panel. I've finished with some of the pale green dots from Sequins for Everything and placed it on a base card of Soft Sea Foam with Stampin' Dimensionals.

A different angle to show the Dimensionals at work

We hope you can play along this week and add your photo to our Facebook page before next Sunday evening using the link over on the right.

#CTC271 CASE the New Catalogue Cover

Just one week of CASEing the new Catalogue Cover with the crew - hope you can play along, add your photo with the link over on the right. For Week 2 - we get to go inside the covers!!

Today I'm using the new bundle of Birds & Branches stamp set and Birds & More dies which you will find on page 120.

My inspiration has been the colour palette and I don't know if it has been written anywhere, but what I've guessed is: Balmy Blue, Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Bumblebee, Coastal Cabana and Rich Razzleberry. 

I stamped onto Whisper White scraps of card; a bird and eggs in Balmy Blue, another bird in Coastal Cabana, flowers in Blushing Bride, onto Bumblee cardstock a nest in Rich Razzleberry and diecut all out along with a tree branch in Bermuda Bay.

The greeting is from the retiring Stitched All Round in Coastal Cabana ink.

I've simply adhered all my pieces with multi purpose adhesive and matted with Blushing Bride onto a base of thick Whisper White.

I love the idea of limiting yourself to a set colour palette of ink and cardstock and seeing what comes out of it! 

Next up on the hop is Monique who has been playing with some new In-colours:
