#CTC327 CASE the Holiday Section

Before I start - I have to credit the CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge on their Seventh Anniversary today!

What a great achievement and though I can't take credit for being with the crew that long, I enjoy taking part each week that I can, creating alongside a fantastic group of ladies.

This week #CTC327 has us CASE the Holiday Section - Pages 88-95

I've chosen the card in the middle of Page 95, but opted to switch it from a Christmas card to a Birthday card using some stamps and dies that haven't seen a lot of use lately,

I started by stamping a bird from Birds & Branches in Night of Navy ink onto Pool Party cardstock and die cutting it with the Birds & More Dies. I've also diecut a branch from Cinnamon Cider using the same dies. I've matted a panel of Basic White with Mango Melody cardstock and adhered my diecuts in place. The party hat is from Turtle Friends, stamped in Black Memento Ink and fussy cut then coloured with Stampin'  Blends (Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo).  

The greeting is also from Turtle Friends, stamped in Black Memento ink onto Mango Melody cardstock and fussy cut before adding it to the panel. I've finished with some of the pale green dots from Sequins for Everything and placed it on a base card of Soft Sea Foam with Stampin' Dimensionals.

#CTC324 CASE a Retiring Mini Project

 

CASE a Retiring Mini Catalogue Project:

The card in the centre of Page 29 provided my inspiration:

After trimming a piece of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper to fit the front of the card, I've diecut  it using the Beautiful Brushstrokes Dies to create the cutouts. 

Using Petal Pink, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo cardstock I've diecut the layers for the roses. The last two colours have had adhesive sheet attached to the back to make it easy to layer the finished roses. Next Pear Pizzazz and Granny Apple Green provided the colour for the leaves again attaching adhesive sheet to the Pear Pizzazz before cutting. 

The greeting from Brushed Blooms was stamped in Mint Macaron ink onto the diecut shape from Meadow Dies. Everything was built onto a Mint Macaron card base. In lieu of the twine circle, I've chosen a bow using the Blushing Bride Baker's Twine in the Snail Mail Twine Combo pack.

I've finished with some of the Sequins For Everything in Flirty Flamingo.

The DSP used would lend itself well to any of the colours for the background.

Hopefully this will give you a better view of the layers involved:

We'd love to see your CASE of a Retiring Mini Project - please post it to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Next up we have Rebecca and her cute little roos:

#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.
