#CTC304 CASE Love You Always Suite

From the January - June Mini Catalogue, CASE the Love You Always Suite pgs 10-13

I've taken inspiration from the image above and the card bottom left page 12.

I've used the Curvy dies and Pretty Peacock cardstock, cutting strips of the ornate pattern and adhering to a base of Pretty Peacock cardstock. My foil piece is cut from a Champagne Foil Sheet using the Painted Labels dies. 

In lieu of the ribbon I've stamped the greeting from Well Said in Pretty Peacock ink onto Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it then added it to my foil piece. The Kangaroo & Company images were stamped in Black Memento ink onto Whisper White cardstock and coloured using the Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler and Real Red Stampin' Blends. I've diecut them with the Kangaroo dies and adhered over the greeting. The foil was then added to the card with Champagne rhinestones to finish.

Check this out - the little pouch has a slit so you can add a little hidden message along with a diecut to match in the Kangaroo dies! Just adhere your hearts to the top of the greeting and it can be used as a pull tab.

Just the card I need for my hubby as tomorrow is our 24th Wedding Anniversary!💕

#CTC263 CASE the Colours of Kerchief Card Kit Week 1

Case the colours of the Kerchief Card Kit - Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Early Espresso, Gold, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Petal Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, White. (I've crossed out the ones I didn't use!)

Yes, I caved and bought the Honey Bee bundle and am so pleased with it! For some reason I thought I had enough bee images but it appears there's always room for just one more (LOL)!!

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and sponged Coastal Cabana ink on the centre, then I dripped/flicked some water onto the sponged area and allowed it to dry. I've inked the greeting from Peaceful Moments but masked half off at a time and stamped on the top left, then the remainder on the bottom right using Night of Navy ink. Using the same ink I stamped a couple of bees (I think they look more like bugs actually!) and diecut them with the Detailed Bee dies. I've diecut a piece of Gold Foil sheet, not quite through, then I moved the die on my piece of foil turned it around and ran it not quite through, there was only a tiny bit that actually cut through. (This meant I ended up with a piece of honeycomb twice as big as the die if you don't see what I mean there) I've left a few of the hexagon pieces in and adhered all to the top of the sponged area.

When I was happy with the front, I added it to a mat of Night of Navy before adhering to a Coastal Cabana base. I then added a tiny Poppy Parade heart using the same dies. My bees (bugs) were added with Stampin' Dimensionals.

That honeycomb die is just the cutest! I think it will get a good workout here.

Last weekend hubby and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary, so this card was made for him! On the inside a Coastal Cabana beehive with a greeting from Well Said in Night of Navy, this time the bugs are departing the hive and there's the other little heart from the Detailed Bees dies.

Hope to see you play along! You have two weeks to choose your colour combination from above and make your card - then add using the link over on the right. Meantime please visit Peta and her stunning project:
