#CTC384 Sale-a-bration



Back CASEing the Sale-a-bration catalogue for the last time this year:


Sale-a-bration finishes and then we welcome Spring! Looking forward to that but enjoying the bulbs and blossom already. I think that helped inspire my creation today.

I've chosen the bold card in the middle of Page 15:


Granny Apple Green was my colour of choice for the cardbase. I've randomly stamped the card with an image from Daffodil Daydream using Granny Apple Green ink. 

I've swapped the next layers a bit from the original. I liked the hexagons used but went with cutting a large hexagon with the Beautiful Shapes Dies out of Basic White cardstock and adding it behind my vellum. The Vellum Layering Designs I chose has script over it and I used it to replace the fancy diecut seen in the original. I've stamped another Daffodil Daydream image with Granny Apple Green ink onto Basic White card, coloured it with Stampin' Blends and diecut it with the Daffodil dies. This was added on top of the vellum.

The greeting is from Charming Sentiments and was heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Mossy Meadow cardstock, trimmed and added using Stampin' Dimensionals. Still getting through my (retired) stash of Flowers for Every Season Gems. They're just so versatile though. This time, I used the green ones.


Initially I was going to add another hexagon over the vellum but it seemed a shame to cover the script so I left it out.


Let's see what Sale-a-bration project has you inspired. Post it to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Let's head on over and check out what our friend Rebecca has been up to:

#CTC375 CASE Favourite Retiring Product



CASE your Favourite Retiring Product from the January - June Mini catalogue

I've turned to Page 55 and the Bragworthy card to the left:


I've kept the overall look very similar although didn't own any of the items used in the original. I've used a base of Thick Basic White. Next I've used the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder and swiped Sahara Sand ink over the outline side and embossed another piece of Basic White cardstock. This has been added in lieu of the DSP used above. I've used the same shelf of Basic Black cardstock. 

The bottle is Old Olive and punched with the Vintage Bottle Punch. Behind I've added foliage diecut with one of the Meadow Dies out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I had a couple of Hydrangea diecuts floating from my last project and added those to my bottle. The greeting is from Charming Sentiments, inked with Black Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock. I've used a similar diagonal DSP to the original although this one is from the Hostess DSP pack Design a Daydream. 

A mat of Blackberry Bliss was added and the greeting is hung on the wall rather than sitting on the shelf. 



The Design a Daydream DSP was the inspiration for the colours of the vase and foliage.
