#CTC384 Sale-a-bration

Back CASEing the Sale-a-bration catalogue for the last time this year:

Sale-a-bration finishes and then we welcome Spring! Looking forward to that but enjoying the bulbs and blossom already. I think that helped inspire my creation today.

I've chosen the bold card in the middle of Page 15:

Granny Apple Green was my colour of choice for the cardbase. I've randomly stamped the card with an image from Daffodil Daydream using Granny Apple Green ink. 

I've swapped the next layers a bit from the original. I liked the hexagons used but went with cutting a large hexagon with the Beautiful Shapes Dies out of Basic White cardstock and adding it behind my vellum. The Vellum Layering Designs I chose has script over it and I used it to replace the fancy diecut seen in the original. I've stamped another Daffodil Daydream image with Granny Apple Green ink onto Basic White card, coloured it with Stampin' Blends and diecut it with the Daffodil dies. This was added on top of the vellum.

The greeting is from Charming Sentiments and was heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Mossy Meadow cardstock, trimmed and added using Stampin' Dimensionals. Still getting through my (retired) stash of Flowers for Every Season Gems. They're just so versatile though. This time, I used the green ones.

Initially I was going to add another hexagon over the vellum but it seemed a shame to cover the script so I left it out.

Let's see what Sale-a-bration project has you inspired. Post it to our Facebook page using the link over on the right before next Sunday evening.

Let's head on over and check out what our friend Rebecca has been up to:

#CTC380 CASE a Christmas Tree Project

CASE a Christmas Tree Project

I've chosen this card above to the left on Page 13 of the July-December mini catalogue and pretty much CASEd it as it appeared.

Using the Spruced Up Outlines Dies, I've die cut small trees in Evening Evergreen, Garden Green and Granny Apple Green. 

Onto a base of Evening Evergreen, I've attached a layer of Pretty Prints DSP. Over that I've popped a piece of Vellum Layering Designs by just attaching adhesive to the centre of the vellum so it won't be seen. The edges of the vellum float a little bit and appear wonky in the photo because it's only grounded in the middle.

Next I've adhered the trees and outlines in place. The greeting is from Christmas Scottie, stamped in Evening Evergreen onto Basic White and diecut with a hexagon from the Beautiful Shapes Dies then added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. The card was finished with a few (retired) Flowers for Every Season Gems.

I chose not to use the stamps on the trees as in the original. Another option which would have made this fun, would have been to use an embossing folder on the solid trees as I did the last time I used the Spruced Up Outlines Dies.

The crew would love to see you play along by CASEing a Christmas Tree Project and adding your photo to our Facebook page before next Sunday evening. There's a link over on the right if you need it.

Next up we have our lovely friend Tina and her fabulous baubles card:

#CTC357 SAB Pg 6 Sketch

We are CASEing the Sketch top right of Page 6.

Here's the simplified sketch:

I cut a panel of Daffodil Delight the width of my card and a panel of the script from Vellum Layering Designs a little longer and adhered by sticking it to the back of the panel and wrapping it tightly around and then adhering the other edge so the sides are basically open but I didn't want to worry about adhesive showing through the vellum.

I've cut two strips of Mango Melody and diecut with the edging die from Peony dies then glued these behind the panel and attached it all to my base card. Next I've diecut a shape with the Tasteful Labels dies out of Smokey Slate cardstock and embossed it with Timeworn Type 3D Embossing folder and popped that lower on the panel. The Daffodil was pieced together using Daffodil Dies, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Old Olive Cardstock. 

I've stamped the greeting from Blessings of Home in Night of Navy ink onto Basic white and popped one end against the edge of my card and stuck the other just under my daffodil stem. To finish I've used the little self adhesive Brushed Brass Butterflies.

Playing with some of the product from the new mini catalogue.

We look forward to seeing your take on the sketch and posting the photo to our Facebook page using the link over on the right. Just a few simple questions to join the group first, answer them and you're all set. 

Next up we have Kathryn and her cute card:
