#CTC382 CASE Sketch Pg 10 SAB

CASE the card on Page 10 of the Sale-a-bration catalogue using the sketch below to help you:

To start I've reached for the Eden Dies and diecut a small frame from Evening Evergreen. I then stamped the greeting from Potted Geraniums in Evening Evergreen onto Basic White cardstock and diecut that with the same frame die. I wanted the piece you normally discard and I inserted that into the precut frame. I carefully turned it over and used double sided tape to hold the two together. The greeting I chose dictated the orientation of my card to be landscape rather than portrait like the original.

Onto a base of Highland Heather, I attached a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock then a layer of Tea Boutique DSP. The greeting has had Stampin' Dimensionals attached over the double sided tape before adding it in place on the DSP. I've tucked in a baker's twine bow and added a few (retired) Flowers For All Seasons Gems.

I chose a darker green than the one featured in the DSP as I wanted to make the greeting stand out a little more; Loving the font and words in this set.

The crew have come up with a great variety this week. Be sure you hop around them all to see what I mean. We trust you will then feel inspired to join us and post your take of the sketch above to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Following me on the crew hop this week is Michelle with her cute Christmas card:

CTC353 Sale-a-bration

CASEing the Sale-a-bration catalogue again this week:

I've chosen the card on the far right of Page 5:

I started with a base card of Granny Apple Green and cut the largest Stitched Rectangles Die out of the same colour. I trimmed a piece of In Good Taste DSP to the same width as the diecut shape.Using the Eden Dies I've diecut the border at each end and attached the DSP panel to the diecut rectangle.

Using another strip of In Good Taste DSP and Mossy Meadow ink, I've added the greeting from Friendly Hello which is one of the Sale-a-bration offers you can earn. To lengthen the rectangle to fit my card base better, I've chopped the panel in half and reattached it slightly apart to the greeting strip. To strenghten it, I've wrapped the DSP around the whole panel and then added this to the base card.

I've stamped the Daffodil Daydream image in Mossy Meadow ink onto Basic White card and coloured with Stampin' Blends. I've diecut this with the Daffodil Dies and wrapped Linen Thread around the stems and tied off with a bow. This was added to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Daffodils are such cheery flowers aren't they? This was my first time playing with this bundle but it won't be the last.

The crew would love to see you play along with us this week. Make your card and share to our Facebook page using the link over on the right. Be sure to post it before next Sunday evening.

Next on the hop is our friend Peta - and it looks like she may have been playing with the Stitched Rectangle dies as well. Wonder if Marvi is being a bit more co-operative this week?

#CTC348 CASE Sketch

CASE the Sketch on Page 47 of the July-December Mini Catalogue

Which also has a Sketch map for you to use:

I've used a full card size layer of In Good Taste DSP with a similar background to the CASE above. Next I've diecut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock with the Eden Dies. 

I then stamped the Happiest of Birthdays greeting in Blackberry Bliss and added diecuts of Blackberry Bliss from Meadow Dies then finished with Baker's Twine wrapped around the card and a bow added on top. 

This card was designed with my mother in mind as today's her birthday! Happy Birthday Mum xx.

First time using the Eden Dies and it won't be the last! 

Time now to hop over and check out Michelle's fun Christmas twist:
