Bit of a change this week and we are CASEing a Colour Combo from anywhere in the Holiday catalogue:
I've chosen from the All is Bright Suite of colours on pages 4-8:
Actually I have to confess, this was my go to colour choice after becoming a little time poor. I took part in an ATC swap recently and the colours were this brief as well. I've pretty much 'up-sized' my original. The colours are Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Whisper White and Gold foil.
The base is Real Red, with a sheet of Whisper White embossed with Tufted 3D TIEF. I have cut Gold Foil and Real Red accents with the Foliage Frame Framelits. The Shaded Spruce was diecut from the same Framelits and placed over the longer gold leaves with the remaining leaves then being adhered. The top layer was of Whisper White was Gold heat embossed with an image from Making Christmas Bright and die cut with the Layered Circles framelits. The image from Half Full is stamped in Real Red and attached using Stampin' Dimensionals.

And the original ATC:
Love to see your take of a colour combo from the holiday catalogue, create a card and add the photo to our Facebook page with the link over on the right. Let's now check out what Judy has for us:
So many choices this week as we CASE our favourite holiday tag.
With all that choice, I've ended up on the back cover and the tag on the top right:
I've shifted it up a notch to a Christmas card, using a base of thick Whisper White. I've die cut some Pretty Pine thinlits pine tree leaves in Old Olive as my feature. The tag part is my top layer of whisper white, and the background I've opted for is stamped with the doily from the hostess set "Very Vintage". Each time it has been stamped off once, to lighten the image I've used Gold Glimmer paper for my banner instead of the red above, snipped with the Banner Triple punch at each end. I've then staggered the pine die cuts in a kind of wreath pattern and added a pine cone die cut in Soft Suede. I've then added the greeting (from "Making Christmas Bright") which was stamped in Old Olive, and the word 'Bright' has been gold heat embossed. It was cut using a circle shape from Stitched Shapes Framelits. I've then added another two pine cone diecuts and finished off with Metallic Pearls
Thanks for stopping by. It would be great if you were to play along, create your CASE of your favourite holiday tag, and add it to our Facebook page using the link on the right. Time to pop over and see Rebecca's creation, which was one of the tags I was considering, but love what she's done with it...
This week we head to pages 4-11 of the new Holiday Catalogue which you can start ordering from on September 5.
I've sort of CASEd two of the cards on page 6 and merged them into one. Can't believe I'm making Christmas cards already!
The stamp set is Making Christmas Bright and has a co-ordinating Christmas Bulb Builder Punch which you can bundle together to save 10%. I've used Thick Whisper White for my card base, layered with Blueberry Bushel. The string of lights was stamped twice at different angles in Black Memento Ink and I used Stampin' Markers to colour them randomly. On spare whisper white I stamped the whole bulb image in Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover and Pineapple Punch, punched them out and placed them up to the string. The fitting part was stamped in Gray Granite, punched and adhered over the top.
I've added the words in Blueberry Bushel for the top first and then Pineapple Punch, two separate stamps so plenty of options for placement or colouring. I finished off using the little glow stamp with Pineapple Punch around the end of each of the large bulbs - a fun way to make it look like the lights have been turned on.
For your info, if you haven't seen it in the catalogue, there is also another set that co-ordinates with this punch (not available as a bundle though), called Making Every Day Bright.
I love the haphazard look to these lights and I'm sure you can relate to that dread of opening the decorations each year to see what kind of party the lights have had while in storage and the untangling that follows.
Hope you feel inspired to play along using the link over on the right. Meanwhile, let's pop over and see what the lovely Angela selected for us:
