#CTC389 CASE Annual Catalogue Bundle

CASE a bundle from the Annual Catalogue:

I've chosen a card from the bundle on the top left of Page 162, although used the bundle below it to create my card.

In lieu of the stamped images, I've adhered a torn off strip of Tea Boutique DSP to a panel of Basic White cardstock and trimmed it into three panels. I've then distressed all the edges and added them to a panel of Basic White which had been embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I have wrapped Baker's Twine around and held it at the back with tape. This panel was adhered to a base of Thick Basic White cardstock.

My cup was cut from Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Teacup Dies and the top layer from Basic White using the same dies. I've stamped the leaves in Mossy Meadow onto Basic White and diecut them out again using the Teacup Dies. This has been added to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. I've added a Baker's Twine bow beside it. 

The greeting is from Go To Greetings, stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto Basic White cardstock. After trimming, I've dropped each edge gently onto the Mossy Meadow ink pad to help frame it against the white background.

I'm really pleased I bought this set, as it's had a lot more use than many of my other bundles.

What bundle will you CASE? We would love to see you join the group and add your project to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Next up we have our lovely friend Julia and her stunning card using one of my favourite  current DSP's:

#CTC382 CASE Sketch Pg 10 SAB

CASE the card on Page 10 of the Sale-a-bration catalogue using the sketch below to help you:

To start I've reached for the Eden Dies and diecut a small frame from Evening Evergreen. I then stamped the greeting from Potted Geraniums in Evening Evergreen onto Basic White cardstock and diecut that with the same frame die. I wanted the piece you normally discard and I inserted that into the precut frame. I carefully turned it over and used double sided tape to hold the two together. The greeting I chose dictated the orientation of my card to be landscape rather than portrait like the original.

Onto a base of Highland Heather, I attached a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock then a layer of Tea Boutique DSP. The greeting has had Stampin' Dimensionals attached over the double sided tape before adding it in place on the DSP. I've tucked in a baker's twine bow and added a few (retired) Flowers For All Seasons Gems.

I chose a darker green than the one featured in the DSP as I wanted to make the greeting stand out a little more; Loving the font and words in this set.

The crew have come up with a great variety this week. Be sure you hop around them all to see what I mean. We trust you will then feel inspired to join us and post your take of the sketch above to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Following me on the crew hop this week is Michelle with her cute Christmas card:

#CTC379 Sale-a-bration

We are returning to the Sale-a-bration catalogue for this week's challenge:

I've used the card on the right of Page 10:

Onto a base of Tahitian tide cardstock, I've added a full size panel of Tea Boutique DSP with a circle cut out of it using the Layering Circles Dies. From another piece of Tea Boutique DSP I've cut a teacup with the Teacup Dies and added baker's twine and a bow then attached the cup in place with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

The greeting from Sit Stay Relax is stamped in Orchid Oasis onto Basic White cardstock and fussy cut then also attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish a few of the (retired) Metallic Pearls.

Nothing like a nice cup of tea!

We hope you get to join us with the challenge this week. 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 Monique:

#CTC376 CASE Mini Catalogue

CASE the new July-December Mini Catalogue:

I've turned to Page 54 and used the layout with the apple card on the right:

Onto a base of Soft Sea Foam I've added a strip of Tea Boutique DSP at an angle. Next I've used a Teacup stamp from Cup of Tea together with Smokey Slate ink and cardstock to stamp the image all over for the background. In hindsight the original looks like it may have been stamped off, but I didn't mind the heavier images. 

I embossed a scrap of Soft Sea Foam cardstock with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder and diecut a circle from it using a Layering Circles die which I glued onto the stamped background. The teacup was diecut with the Teacup Dies from another sheet of Tea Boutique DSP and added to the embossed circle. The greeting from Cup of Tea was masked off and stamped with Orchid Oasis ink onto a strip of Basic White cardstock and popped into place.

A relatively easy layout to replicate but quite different from the original.

Just because you don't have product from the new catalogue on hand, doesn't mean you can't join us in CASEing the Catty Sunday challenge this week. Make your card and post it to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Next on the hop we have our friend Rebecca and her pretty pastel card:
