#CTC285 CASE the Layout on Page 29 Mini

The crew are CASEing the layout on page 29 of the August-December Catalogue:

This is the sketch if you can't cope with a photo:

I looked at the picture and saw black and white as the central image, with strips of cardstock (or similar) behind. I also rotated the image to fit the picture that jumped to mind.

I've started with a base card of Petal Pink cardstock and used 3/4" strips of Soft Sea Foam, Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP, Whisper White and Mossy Meadow. The Feels Like Frost has a piece using both sides for variety. As you know I've enjoyed using my new Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and have taken advantage of that shape for each end of all of my strips. The Whisper White was stamped with a Lovely You greeting in Memento black before being popped into place.

My main image is the Good Morning Magnolia flower coloured very lightly with Stampin' Blends so as not to detract from the Black and White image that I was drawn to. After colouring it was added using Stampin' Dimensionals.

#CTC282 CASE your Favourite Mini Catalogue Bundle

The bundles can be found throughout the catalogue with a summary on pages 71-75.

I've chosen to loosely adapt a card using the Have a Hoot bundle on Page 62:

I've used a base of thick Whisper White cardstock. I've stamped the Have a Hoot family on the branch using Early Espresso ink onto another piece of Whisper White cardstock. Because we are a family of three, I've masked off the littlest owl in the picture. I've coloured the image with Stampin' Blends. My branch needed extending to meet the frame and I used an Early Espresso marker to do so.

I've cut a piece of the returning fave, Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP the same size as the card front and cut a window using the Tasteful Labels dies. I chose this DSP because the colours in it are more like we will be experiencing at Christmas time - bright and summery (we hope!). I've adhered the layers in place and added a greeting from Have a Hoot stamped in Early Espresso onto Whisper White cardstock and trimmed using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. 

I've finished off with a few of the Flowers for Every Season Gems. The greeting on the inside is from the same set - "From Owl of Us".

We hope to see you play along. You have until next Sunday evening to create your project.and add the photo to our Facebook page using the link over on the right.

#CTC256 Annual Catalogue Layout with a Holiday Twist

Take any layout from the Annual Catalogue and give it a Holiday Twist:

For me, it was the photo on page 116. 

I CASE'd the butterfly card with a base of Night of Navy, a layer of Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP, and the top layer of Seaside Spray had Stitched Stars die cut then the piece was embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder as per the CASEd card. After adhering the embossed piece, the diecut stars were stuck back in place. I chose a greeting from So Many Stars stamped in Night of Navy and added using Stampin' Dimensionals opting to leave out the twine.

I carried on and CASEd the card on the left with a base of Night of Navy, two flourishes cut from Seaside Spray using Stitched Stars dies and attached to the base. I've stamped some stars onto Whisper White card using Night of Navy ink and coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends. I've added some tiny stars stamped in Daffodil Delight, with another greeting from So Many Stars in Night of Navy. To bring in a little colour I've matted my stamped piece with Daffodil Delight and popped it onto the card with Stampin' Dimensionals again omitting the bow.

A closer view of the cute Stitched Stars dies:

Thanks for stopping by - check back soon if you would like to see what I presented when I attended the Stampin' Up local Onstage event in Perth, WA! Maybe by Tuesday, I'll have that sorted.. Meanwhile, please continue on the hop to see what our lovely Rose has created this week:

#CTC245 CASE Let it Snow Suite

CASEing the Let it Snow Suite from pages 18-23.

I've chosen this snowman card on page 18:

Onto a base of Thick Whisper White I've added a sheet of the stunning Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP, I have to say the photography in this set has definitely captured some fabulous winter scenes. And while where you live may not lend itself to a wintry festive season, don't let that put you off, as on the reverse side are gorgeous metallic patterns - another "has to be seen to be appreciated" product.

I've added a greeting from Itty Bitty Christmas in Night of Navy and seriously - that could be your card - the DSP is too nice to cover up!

Back to the challenge. I kept with much the same layout and my snowmen became snowbirds using an image from Free As A Bird. I decided to leave them without the embossed background from the original and the only colour added was their scarves and a hat like the snowmen were wearing using Stampin' Markers. I used some retired Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper behind the image and popped it all up with Stampin' Dimensionals. A simple bow and job done.

We'd love to have you play along. Just add your image to our Facebook page using the link over to the right and the #CTC245 so we can find you before next Sunday evening.

Now it's over to see the lovely card Rebecca has created using the same pack of DSP!
