#CTC355 CASE Sale-a-bration

 

Yes, we are back CASEing the Sale-a-bration catalogue this week:

I've turned to Page 10 and the picture top right.

Tuesday sees us celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary so I thought I'd use this challenge to make hubby a card - killing two birds with one stone, so to speak!! 

I've used the same DSP as the CASE card - Simply Marbleous and the same colour of Basic Gray. I've used the Birds & More dies to cut my circle shape and behind it I've added a panel of Basic White which was embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. 

Again using Birds & More dies, I've cut two little birds in Silver Foil and then using scraps of Daffodil Delight and Real Red another two were cut. I've taken the little cut outs from the colour birds and added them to the silver birds then adhered them in place on the circle frame.

My greeting is from Pansy Patch heat embossed in Silver Embossing Powder onto a strip of Basic Black cardstock. Underneath a little red heart from the same set of dies out of Real Red cardstock.

I love the bold colours on one side of the Simply Marbleous while the other is quite the opposite, very soft so something to appeal to everyone.

Wonder which card you might like to CASE and whether you will change things out or keep it as it is. Remember you don't have to have new products to play along, we just love to see how your creativity puts a twist to the catalogue pictures. Use the link over on the right and add your picture to our Facebook page before next Sunday evening.

Next up we have Kathryn to share some of her fabulous scrapbooking pages from her recent 'big' birthday. Special memories Kathryn!

#CTC351 Sale-a-bration

 CASE the new Sale-a-bration Catalogue

I've chosen the card on the far right of page 17:

I started with a base card of Highland Heather and cut a mat smaller than the card which I spritzed, crumpled and tore before embossing with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.

I used Eden's Garden images to stamp the foliage in Highland Heather onto a panel of Basic White card which was also torn at the bottom edge. I've adhered these to the base card and added foliage diecut in Highland Heather cardstock with Meadow Dies. 

Soft Sea Foarm was my chosen contrast cardstock to diecut the circle shape with Tasteful Labels dies and the Pansy Patch greeting has been stamped with Highland Heather ink. A piece of White Crinkled Seam Binding was added behind the greeting.

The card has a few rhinestones to finish. 

We look forward to seeing your project added to our Facebook page = you can use the link over on the right to find it. 

Next on the hop we have the lovely Rebecca:

#CTC332 CASE Favourite Annual Catty Suite

CASEing our Favourite Annual Catalogue Suite:

Page 28 and the card on the bottom left was what I chose to use today:

I don't own the vellum doilies featured in the card but compensated by using a rectangle of Vellum cardstock diecut with the cutout shape from the Poppy Moments Dies. 

I've used multipurpose adhesive to attach all the elements to my base card of Just Jade. Onto the vellum shape, I've added strips of DSP from Pattern Party and the greeting from Pansy Patch which was stamped in Just Jade onto Basic White cardstock. I've diecut pansies and leaves from Pansy Petals DSP with the Pansy Dies and finished each card off with a Bumblebee trinket. 

Once I decided on my design, it was just as easy to make two cards. As you can see the purple version in the catalogue, I've used the peach and pink pansies for my cards today.

You may also notice, the vellum has been used both ways after being diecut.

Oddly enough, no favourite today, I like the colours equally.

The winner would have to be that little bee trinket though, super cute!

The crew would love to see you play along. Make your card and post it to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Next up we're off to visit our friend Rebecca in sunny Queensland:

Social Stamping - Subtles

So exciting to be able to join Kelly Kent and friends for the monthly Social Stamping Blog Hop! This month our theme is "Subtles" which is one of the Stampin' Up! Colour families.

I used the brick die from Brilliant Wings Dies and cut it four times from a sheet of Soft Sea Foam for my top layer which I've added to a base of Pear Pizzazz. Then I've cut another piece of Mint Macaron and added some of the bricks randomly to give more interest. The greeting is from Pansy Patch and stamped in Mint Macaron ink. I've added a So Saffron diecut butterfly from Meadow Dies and hydrangea petals cut from Hydrangea Dies in Blushing Bride and Highland Heather. 

The hydrangea flowers have had some Fine Tip Glue added to the centre and the flowers and butterfly were smothered in Wink of Stella.

I've even managed to find time for some inside love!

This time I've used the blending brush and sponged with the negative the bricks were cut from, then stamped another greeting from Pansy Patch in Mint Macaron with the same flowers and butterfly as the front again covered with Wink of Stella.

It's a wintery day here in NZ, and we're expecting a whole lot of rain in the next day or so - I hope wherever you are that you are keeping warm and dry!

You're now headed back to the start of the hop with our lovely host Kelly, which is where you will also find a list of all the participants this month:
