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:

#CTC325 CASE a Die Bundle

CASE a Die Bundle from pages 156-161 of the Annual Catalogue:

Page 160 for me and this card on the bottom left:

Firstly I cut three of the same die silhouettes from Meadow Dies in Very Vanilla, Early Espresso and Basic White. I changed the orientation to landscape and cut a top layer from a sheet of In Good Taste DSP which was attached to a mat of Blackberry Bliss and added to a base card of Basic White. 

The diecuts were added in a fan shape and adhered with a rectangle of Blackberry Bliss card added, then the greeting from Quiet Meadow stamped in Blackberry Bliss was diecut with the same Meadow Dies and adhered using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly a little butterfly with the words stamped in Blackberry Bliss onto a scrap of Basic White and again using the Meadow Dies to cut out, also attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

We look forward to seeing what you create using the Die Bundle section of the catalogue as your inspiration.  

Next up we have Monique with a little bit of Christmas inspiration for you:

#CTC323 CASE a Card Featuring Food

CASE a Card Featuring Food

The ice-cream card at the top of the picture above caught my attention and that's what I've gone with.in both landscape and portrait orientation.

Using Granny Apple Green cardstock for the base, I've used the background stamp from Nature's Beauty and stamped all round the edges with Granny Apple Green ink. 

Onto Basic White cardstock, I've stamped the turtle image from Turtle Friends in Basic Gray ink. I've then used Granny Apple Green and Just Jade to stamp the shell image and coloured the toes with a Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend. The Turtle Punch was used to punch the images out and they were adhered to a panel of In Good Taste DSP framed with Basic White. 

The panels have been added to the base card in a sort of haphazard way as per the original case, but I did find that difficult and wanted to keep straightening it again. The greetings were also from Turtle friends, stamped in Just Jade ink onto Basic White and attached to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. The Granny Apple Green dots are from Shaker Shapes and the bling on the middle turtle is from Sequins for Everything.

We would love to see your take on a card featuring food for this week's challenge. Simply add your creation to our Facebook page using the link over on the right.

Next up we have the very talented Judy - I can't wait to see what she's created for us:

#CTC321 CASE a Mini Catty Project and Give a Masculine Twist

 

CASE a Layout from the Mini Catalogue and Give it a Masculine Twist!

My inspiration came from the card on the top right Page 35:

I've diecut five stars from Gray Granite cardstock using Stitched Stars Dies and embossed using the following Embossing Folders: Brick & Mortar 3D, Bark 3D and Tasteful Textile 3D.

My base card is Gray Granite and the DSP from In Good Taste is matted with Night of Navy and attached to the base. Then the stars were adhered in place. The greeting from Garden Wishes is inked with Night of Navy onto Gray Granite and diecut using the Meadow Dies with some Night of Navy Baker's Twine added to the back and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Quite a switch from the CASEd card, don't you think?

The crew would love to see your version of the challenge. Post your project to our Facebook page before next Sunday evening using the link over on the right.

Next up we're off to see what Monique has for us:

#CTC301 CASE a Sale-a-bration Project

CASE any project from the Sale-a-bration catalogue

I've chosen the image in the middle of Page 11:

Onto a base of Soft Sea Foam, I've attached a panel of In Good Taste DSP. Next I've fussy cut flowers from a sheet of Paper Blooms DSP and adhered them randomly leaving a gap for my greeting.

I've stamped a greeting from Lovely You in Night of Navy onto Whisper White cardstock using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to get the right size and matted it using Night of Navy and the same punch. To finish I've added some of the green Flowers for Every Season Gems.

This was an easily replicated card and while I still had spare fussy cutting on my workspace, I decided to make another card. This time I chose one big flower and adhered the stem to the greeting and trimmed off so no white showed on the left of the stem. I've added mini Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the flower and greeting and stuck it onto the panel The clear Flowers for Every Season Gems were the finishing touch ... just because!

The crew would love to see you play along, use the link over on the right to add your picture to our Facebook Challenge page before next Sunday evening.

Next up, please hop over to our friend Julia and see what she has to share this week:

#CTC288 CASE a Kit Card/Project from Either Catty

CASEing the Kit Card/Project from either catalogue this week:

I've chosen the image on the bottom far right.

I've embossed Whisper White cardstock with the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing folder, having spritzed lightly with water to make it not crack.

After adding that to a base card of thick Whisper White, I've punched the Red Velvet Paper with the Vases Builder Punch and selected some of the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper images to use as my foliage. A tiny strip of In Good Taste DSP was my shelf and the greeting was from Lovely You using Night of Navy onto Whisper White and cutting the banner. Everything was adhered using my multi purpose glue

I love it, but wish you could see the texture, so here's another angle:

Next on the hop we have Judy!!

#CTC274 Casing Masculine cards of the Annual Catty

This week the crew are CASEing masculine cards from the annual catalogue. 

I've settled for the card at the top of this picture on page 35:

I've used the In Good Taste DSP with the Stitched Triangles dies. You can see the original had stamps for the middle panel but as I didn't purchase the bundle I've used DSP instead and the die is a bit smaller than the stamp. I've adhered all my triangles onto a panel of Cinnamon Cider cardstock and then matted it with Misty Moonlight. I've attached the panel to a base card of Cinnamon Cider with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I've used Happiest of Birthdays for the greeting in Misty Moonlight on Whisper White cardstock and diecut using the Stitched Rectangles dies. 

I've attached some Bumblebee In-colour ribbon to the reverse of the diecut greeting and adhered to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals as well.

I've opted for no extra bling to let the DSP be the star of the show.

Thanks for stopping by. We would love to see your take on the CASE this week, make your project and add it to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.
