#CTC362 CASE Sketch Page 71

CASE the Sketch from Page 71 of the Annual Catalogue:

And in simpler form:

I've chosen the stepped up version on the right hand side to CASE.

I started with a base card of Crumb Cake and cut another panel of Crumb Cake to emboss with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Onto that using Crumb Cake again, I've adhered a few fences and grain bags that were diecut using the Birthday Chick dies.

I've stamped Hey Birthday Chick images in Memento ink, coloured with Stampin' Blends and diecut each with the matching Birthday Chick die. Using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch, I've punched two Soft Sea Foam and one Just Jade shapes. The greeting from Hey Birthday Chick was stamped in Just Jade ink onto Basic White and punched as the last piece to my square. Next i've punched two of the chicks so only part of the image fitted on the shape, and adhered it to the Soft Sea Foam shapes lining up the postage edges. 

I've overlapped each and adhered them together to form a square then added the whole panel to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Such fun images makes it a lot less formal than the original.

We can't wait to see you join us for this challenge. Post your creation to our Facebook using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Just Add Ink #595 Inspiration

I decided to have a go at a different challenge this week and turned to Just Add Ink where they are using this photo for inspiration. If you want to join in as well, click on the photo for more information:

I have had a dabble before but decided to give the alcohol and Stampin' Blends background another go. Such fun. Impossible to have two alike. I've probably added a little too much as my vellum warped a little but I ran it through my Cut & Emboss to help flatten it out. 

After making my background, I used a piece of Early Espresso card the size of my card front and used the trimmer to cut out the centre so it was 1cm wide all the way around. I then adhered the vellum to the frame and added this to a base of Thick Basic White cardstock.

Next I've cut five Basic White flowers, So Saffron centres in two sizes and some Granny Apple Green leaves using the Pierced Blooms Dies. 

I've added the centres to each flower then grouped the flowers and leaves and adhered them together as I went. I've added them to the panel using Stampin' Dimensionals. The greeting from Hey Birthday Chick was stamped in Soft Suede onto So Saffron cardstock and fussy cut. The left end is attached using a Stampin' Dimensional athe right end is attached with Multipurpose Glue so it has a wave in the greeting. Champagne rhinestones were added next.

With Wink of Stella on the centres of the flowers to finish.

Thanks for stopping by.

#CTC311 Easter

CASE a project and give it an Easter twist

I've chosen the Hot Dog card at the top of Page 72, switching it from a skinny card to a standard size:

I've stamped five of the hatching chicken images from Hey Birthday Chick in Black Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock and diecut them with the Birthday Chick dies. Next I've used Stampin' Blends in Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather and Call Me Clover for the eggs and a few other colours for the features and hat.

The chicks have been glued to a strip of Dandy Garden DSP which was added to a Bumblebee cardstock base. I white heat embossed the greeting from Timeless Tulips with onto Basic Black cardstock and diecut it with the stitched Hydrangea die.

Will you pick a project to CASE, giving it an Easter twist and join us this week? Post your photo to our Facebook page using the link over on the right.

#CTC308 CASE the Colours of Sand and Sea DSP

 

CASE the Colours of the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper: Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Sahara Sand, Seaside Spray, So Saffron.

I've used Whisper White cardstock and Sahara Sand ink to stamp some chicks from Hey Birthday Chick. For the egg chick, I've used Stampin' Blends in So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo for the colour.

For the crazy chicken with the cupcake, I've used Blushing Bride to water colour her body with Melon Mambo for her 'hair', and Flirty Flamingo blends for the feet and legs. The cupcake was So Saffron with Stampin' Markers in Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo for the cupcake case, and a Sahara Sand candle.

The ballooon chicken is So Saffron Stampin' Blends with Flirty Flamingo balloon, feet and details and a Blushing Bride bow tie.

The fences are Sahara Sand. All diecuts were using the Birthday Chick dies. The Happy Birthday words are cut in Sahara Sand and Blushing Bride and I've offset them a little to look like a shadow.

The top layer is Seaside Spray and I've used Whisper White Chalk ink pad to sponge some clouds. A little hard to see but I've used the little criss cross die as a stamp wtih Sahara Sand ink for some dirt along the base of the card around the fences. This layer was matted onto Whisper White cardstock and added to a So Saffron card base.

The crew would love to see what you do with these colours. Post your entry to our Facebook page before next Sunday evening using the link over on the right.

Next up is our lovely friend Tina and she's been having a bit of fun with triangles this week:
