#CTC269 Favourite Retiring Bundle Week 1

CASE your favourite Retiring Bundle from either catalogue:


I've chosen the bundle of Daisy Lane stamp set and Medium Daisy punch on page 23. Don't panic - they are sticking around, just not as a bundle.

My daisies have been white embossed onto vellum and punched out, with two daisy shapes for each flower stuck together and then the centres were coloured with a Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend. 

The base is Night of Navy. I have a mat of crumb cake which was embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing folder and added to another mat of Whisper White.  The daisies have been adhered to a Seaside Spray die cut with a Stitched Nested Label die. The greeting stamped in Night of Navy is from the retiring Love What You Do stamp set. The daisies have been gently shaped with a bone folder and attached using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I unfortunately need to send some sympathy cards and created this one with the same bundle. Onto a base of thick Whisper White I've added a mat of Old Olive embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. A Whisper White die cut with the same Stitched Nested Label die as above has been stamped with the leaf image from Daisy Lane in Old Olive. I've inked the daisy stamp with Mango Melody ink and sponged the edge and centre with Poppy Parade ink before stamping it onto Whisper White cardstock, then punched it out. I cut a bit of a cone shape as I cut the flower into two then trimmed off a petal adhering this piece behind the first one.

My greeting is from the retiring Kindness and Compassion stamp set. As I didn't want to hide the leaves of the flower, I stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White, and then over the top of the stamped image, lining the greetings up and adhering together. The daisy has again been adhered with a Stampin' Dimensional.

#CTC251 - CASE Brightly Gleaming DSP with Layout from Pg 30

This week the crew are CASEing a layout from pg 30 of the Holiday Catalogue:

I have chosen the card on the bottom left of the picture above

Starting with a base of thick Very Vanilla, then adding a full height, wide strip of Noble Peacock Specialty DSP, turned 90 degrees to display it so the stripes represented the horizontal lines on the original. I've added a layer of vellum which was embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder.

Next I've stamped an image from So Many Stars in Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock and Seaside Spray onto Very Vanilla, They were diecut with a matching sized Stitched Stars die and adhered to the vellum with a line drawn to the top by hand. The Sprig punch was used to  cut some Noble Peacock foil sheets (in Pretty Peacock) and it was cut at the half way mark then adhered along the top of the vellum. Some Stitched Shapes stars from the flourish image have been added as bling. The greeting was from Itty Bitty Christmas stamped in Pretty Peacock and cut using a Layering Circles die.
