#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:

#CTC343 CASE an Animal Card

 

CASE an Animal Card from either catalogue

I've chosen the card on the right on page 86 of the Annual Catalogue:

As you can see I've switched the orientation to portrait to better suit the chosen image and I did CASE an animal card but changed out the characters.

My base card is Petal Pink and the top mat is the same colour. I've stamped the image from Beautiful Moments in Early Espresso ink onto the top mat and coloured with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

A frame has been cut from Pansy Petals DSP using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered over the image. The greeting is diecut in Basic White and Highland Heather with the Birthday Chick Dies and adhered slightly offset then popped into place beside a Baker's Twine bow. 

To finish I've added some Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels as I didn't have the little flowers used in the CASE card. 

I love the movement portrayed in this image.

We would like to see you CASE an animal card and post your picture to our Facebook page using the link over on the right.

Meanwhile - please continue on the hop to see what Judy has created for us this week:

#CTC336 Sale-a-bration

Back CASEing the Sale-a-bration catalogue:

The card at the bottom of Page 12 won this time around for me:

I started by setting up my Stamparatus with the splotch stamp from Hydrangea Haven and a piece of Basic White cardstock. I've inked, cleaned, hinge stamped and repeated with each colour I used - starting at the top, Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Daffodil Delight, Shaded Spruce and Balmy Blue. Next I've used a Soft Suede Stampin' Marker and flicked the tip against the lid to create some speckles all over.

I've gold heat embossed the flower from Quiet Meadow onto Vellum and fussy cut each one, then attached it to the coloured layer with glue dots. I've trimmed a piece of Basic Black cardstock and added the diecut greeting in Basic White from Birthday Chick. I popped Stampin' Dimensionals on the back and attached to a base of Thick Basic White cardstock.

Maybe this angle will show the speckles and embossing better:

Surprise, surprise I even managed to get this card in the post this week - unlike the many cards still waiting in my stash!

We would love to see what you create using the Sale-a-bration catalogue as your inspiration. If you play along you can use the link over on the right to post your photo to our Facebook page - please do so before next Sunday evening. Less than a fortnight left to earn your Sale-a-bration freebies!

Next up we have our friend Rachel and I can't wait to see her creation!

#CTC311 Easter

CASE a project and give it an Easter twist

I've chosen the Hot Dog card at the top of Page 72, switching it from a skinny card to a standard size:

I've stamped five of the hatching chicken images from Hey Birthday Chick in Black Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock and diecut them with the Birthday Chick dies. Next I've used Stampin' Blends in Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather and Call Me Clover for the eggs and a few other colours for the features and hat.

The chicks have been glued to a strip of Dandy Garden DSP which was added to a Bumblebee cardstock base. I white heat embossed the greeting from Timeless Tulips with onto Basic Black cardstock and diecut it with the stitched Hydrangea die.

Will you pick a project to CASE, giving it an Easter twist and join us this week? Post your photo to our Facebook page using the link over on the right.

#CTC308 CASE the Colours of Sand and Sea DSP

 

CASE the Colours of the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper: Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Sahara Sand, Seaside Spray, So Saffron.

I've used Whisper White cardstock and Sahara Sand ink to stamp some chicks from Hey Birthday Chick. For the egg chick, I've used Stampin' Blends in So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo for the colour.

For the crazy chicken with the cupcake, I've used Blushing Bride to water colour her body with Melon Mambo for her 'hair', and Flirty Flamingo blends for the feet and legs. The cupcake was So Saffron with Stampin' Markers in Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo for the cupcake case, and a Sahara Sand candle.

The ballooon chicken is So Saffron Stampin' Blends with Flirty Flamingo balloon, feet and details and a Blushing Bride bow tie.

The fences are Sahara Sand. All diecuts were using the Birthday Chick dies. The Happy Birthday words are cut in Sahara Sand and Blushing Bride and I've offset them a little to look like a shadow.

The top layer is Seaside Spray and I've used Whisper White Chalk ink pad to sponge some clouds. A little hard to see but I've used the little criss cross die as a stamp wtih Sahara Sand ink for some dirt along the base of the card around the fences. This layer was matted onto Whisper White cardstock and added to a So Saffron card base.

The crew would love to see what you do with these colours. Post your entry to our Facebook page before next Sunday evening using the link over on the right.

Next up is our lovely friend Tina and she's been having a bit of fun with triangles this week:
