#CTC309 CASE a Bundle from Pg 75-82

 

You'll find a huge range of bundles and examples to be made with them on Pages 75-82 of the January-June Mini Catalogue.

I've chosen the card on the far left of Page 79:


On a base of Basic Black cardstock, I've added a full height panel of True Love Designer Series Paper. I've cut a 4 1/8" square of Basic Black cardstock diagonally in half and trimmed 1/4" off the right hand edge. I've added a small trim of Whisper White cardstock to frame the panel. Yes, I've cheated a little as the original card had a stamped panel, but this way works too. These panels were attached using my multipurpose glue to each edge.

I've cut some flower pieces using the Pieced Blooms Dies out of Poppy Parade and Whisper White cardstock, along with leaves and a bow from Granny Apple Green. I've stamped a greeting from Happy Thoughts in Black Memento Ink onto Whisper White and diecut using the shape from the same Pieced Blooms Dies. All these pieces were glued into place. 

To finish off I've added some embellishments to the panel as per the original. Mine were my go to Flowers for Every Season Gems.


Not like me, but I've even managed to show some inside love today, this time the trim is Granny Apple Green:


Hard to see the bling:

We look forward to you adding your project to our Facebook Challenge page using the link over on the right and tagging it #CTC309 so we can find it, let us know which bundle you are CASEing as well.

Next up we have our friend Siobhan and I can't wait to see what she has to show us this week:

#CTC307 CASE the Sale-a-bration Catalogue

 

Last chance to CASE the Sale-a-bration Catalogue until the new one comes out later in the year.


I've chosen the image in this picture on the left hand side Pg 6, changing it from a box into a standard card.

I've trimmed a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the fill of the hydrangea from Hydrangea Haven randomly in Highland Heather. I then used the smaller petal image so that I didn't have to worry about masking off the leaves and using Gorgeous Grape ink stamped over the top of the Highland Heather. I really like the randomness of the effect of the background with the shading already done for you with the way the stamp is cut. This has been placed onto a base card of Pretty Peacock.

Leaves have been diecut from Pretty Peacock cardstock with the Hydrangea Dies and trimmed off the branch to pop in place.

The greeting from Happy Thoughts has been stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto Whisper White and diecut with a Tasteful Labels die and adhered to Hydrangea Hill DSP.  I've attached this on an angle using Stampin' Dimensionals and added a box of Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

To finish I've added some of the clear Flowers for Every Season Gems.

Pretty Peacock is another colour I've been quite fond of, don't forget it retires this year - in fact soon!


The crew would like to see you play along. Make your project and post to our Facebook page using the link over on the right.

Next up is our lovely friend, Tina:

#CTC302 CASE a Floral Project

 

CASE a Floral Project from either the Mini catalogue or Sale-a-bration catalogue:


Funny enough, I've gone back to the same page as I used last week - pg 11 of the Sale-a-bration catalogue and the card on the bottom right::


I've used a base of thick Whisper White and added a panel of Hydrangea Hill DSP - the colours in this are just lovely. I've cut a one inch strip from the same DSP in a different pattern and punched the ends with Lovely Labels Pick a Punch before adhering it to the panel. Next I've stamped the greeting from Happy Thoughts using Mossy Meadow ink onto Whisper White cardstock, trimmed it and added it to the banner. 

The flower images are from Hydrangea Haven and were stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto Purple Posy cardstock and coloured in with Highland Heather Stampin' Blends. The leaves were Mossy Meadow ink onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock and coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends. These were cut using the Hydrangea Dies along with some of the petals from Purple Posy cardstock. I popped a bit of colour in the centre of the petals using the Highland Heather Dark Stampin' Blend. 

To finish I've added a tiny double bow from Old Olive Linen Thread. To make it this small I used a fork and was happy with it not being too overpowering against the lovely font in the greeting.


The crew would love to see your CASE of a Floral Project, please add it to our Facebook page using the link over on the right and #CTC302 before next Sunday evening.

Next up please hop over and see what Monique has for us this week:
