#CTC230 Favourite Retiring Big Shot Project

Plenty of choice this week as the crew go to their Favourite Retiring Big Shot Project



I've given some love to my Swirly Snowflakes thinlits as they haven't been used in a while, choosing the card in the picture on page 100 - top left

I've used the swirly flourish die from this set and randomly die cut a card from Delightfully Detailed Memories & More Card pack. What I forgot about when I chose this die was that the whole middle piece drops out, but thankfully the Press and Seal came to the rescue and made it easy to line everything up. I've popped the card and all the loose pieces onto Stampin' Dimensionals and placed on a thick Whisper White card. 

The greeting is from Perennial Birthday, stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and cut out with the Rectangle Stitched framelits. I've adhered some Silver Mini Sequin Trim and a couple of Silver Foil swirls behind the greeting and also popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Using the Memories and More card made the top layer just a bit sturdier

#CTC197 - Joyous Noel

This week the crew are CASEing from pages 28-35 of the Holiday catalogue. 

I've headed to page 31, but needed a birthday card for a special young lady and chose the bottom card to CASE:

I've used Night of Navy for my base card and paired it up with Twinkle Twinkle DSP. I've silver embossed the birthday greeting from Picture Perfect Birthday. The banner DSP is from Tropical Escape and I've used the same colour (Blushing Bride) for my sunglasses. That inspiration came from the annual catalogue and the image used for Pocketful of Sunshine on pg 50, I loved how the little sunglasses looked to be hanging from the pocket. I've used Labeler Alphabet for the age of the recipient on the jean tab in Night of Navy ink.

The ribbon was swapped out for Silver Mini Sequin Trim. The diecut embellishments are from Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits using Silver Foil. The finishing touch was the silver Metallic pearls. Happy Birthday Samantha, hope you celebrate in style!

Maybe this angle shows some of the details more clearly:
