CTC #146 - Season of Glitz

Welcome to another CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge where we take a look at one of the sections in the current Stampin' Up! catalogues and use the projects within it to inspire our projects.

This week we are taking a look at the Season of Glitz section of the Holiday catalogue, pages 20 - 27. This is such a fun section, it introduces the Mini Tinsel Trim and Season of Glitz Mini Gift Bows in lovely Christmas colours, and reminds us of the red and Silver Glimmer Paper from the Annual Catalogue.

I took my inspiration from the card above on page 22 of the catalogue.

I thought it was a great opportunity to use the Merry Patterns stamp set, and added some of the Mini Tinsel Trim instead of twine.  The candels on the background are part of a 4 step stamp!  The outline of the candles, two separate stamps for the body of the candle and the flames. This allows some great combinations.  For the background on this stamp I alternated which of the body stamps I used.

I used the candles again on the inside of the card, stamping in Cherry Cobbler and then stamping the other patterns with stamped off Cherry Cobbler. The flames I stamped in Crushed Curry. 

I hope we have inspired you to join in the challenge this week, just use the projects in the Season of Glitz section of the Holiday catalogue and add a picture of your creation to the CTC Facebook page.

Time to hop on over and see what the very talented Alisa has created this week.

Happy Stamping
Monique
