#CTC293 CASE a Card from Pg 36 of the Mini Catalogue

 

CASE a card from Page 36 of the Mini Catalogue:

I've chosen the card in the middle of the picture. Onto a base of Blackberry Bliss cardstock, I've added a full size front using a Gold and White piece of Ornate Garden Specialty DSP. 

Next I've swiped the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing folder with a Blackberry Bliss ink pad on the flat side. I've cut a banner from the same Blackberry Bliss cardstock with the help of the Banner Triple Punch and run it through the embossing machine. I found it gave good depth and really made the little flowers pop.

I've used a greeting from Happiest of Birthdays stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I happened to still have some (retired) Gold Metallic Thread which I've looped around a few times and added to the back of the greeting before adhering in place.

The Daisy Lane stamps haven't seen action for a while and I used it to make my main feature, with 3 large daisies and 3 medium daisies inked with Blackberry Bliss onto Whisper White cardstock and punched with the matching Daisy and Medium Daisy punches. I've stuck all the layers together and popped it into place using Stampin' Dimensionals.

A dreary Canterbury day doesn't make it easy to make the gold shine, but let's try this:

I've even given this one a little bit of inside love:

It's fun to see the same cards with so many twists. Please continue on the hop to visit Lauren and her cute butterflies:

#CTC207 - Case Anything But a Card

Had me thinking this week, but I chose to stick with the Holiday Catalogue, even though you can case from either catalogue...

I've chosen the pizza box in the picture on page 34, top left:

I wonder if I got the brief wrong when I look at some of the crew pics - amazing!!  However, I needed a birthday card for Miss B, so went with it... I chose to rotate the orientation by -90 degrees and made use of the Daisy Delight stamp set and matching punch instead of the bows. I've used Stampin' Blends to colour the images and also to colour the Clear faceted gems. My base card is thick Whisper White, with a mat of Tranquil Tide and a top layer of the stunning Frosted Floral Specialty DSP.  Perennial Birthday greeting stamped in Tranquil Tide and punched using the Everyday Label punch then layered onto a rectangle of Tranquil Tide. All finished off with a Whisper White Baker's Twine bow. You can't tell but there was a little extra bling added by using my Fine-Tip Glue Pen to trace around some of the lines on the daisy petals.

Might be more clear in this one:

Happy Birthday Brianna!! Thanks for stopping by, please play along using the link to the right, and now hop over and see what Monique has created for the brief this week:
