CTC #259 - CASE Anything From The Holiday Catalogue

Welcome to another week at CASEing the Catty Sunday Blog Hop, where utilise the projects within the current Stampin' Up! catalogue to inspire our own projects each week. We also invite you to join with us in the challenge each week by using this inspiration in your own creations and uploading a photo to our Facebook page.

This week we are taking our inspiration from the whole Holiday Catalogue.

I was inspired the card on page 21, I loved the use of DSP and the layering of the elements around the sentiment.

For my Project for this challenge I just had to use the new products that arrived in my pre-order and do a birthday rather than Christmas theme!  I love the die that creates the swirl behind the sentiment as I am hopeless at twirling ribbon or twine and I think this looks just as good! 

  

I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use any of the samples in the holiday catalogue to inspire your creativity, then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.

  

Time to hop on over and see what Tina has created this week.

Happy Stamping

CTC #257 - CASEing Kids and Babies

Welcome to another week at CASEing the Catty Sunday Blog Hop, where utilise the projects within the current Stampin' Up! catalogue to inspire our own projects each week. We also invite you to join with us in the challenge each week by using this inspiration in your own creations and uploading a photo to our Facebook page.

This week we are taking our inspiration from the Kids & Babies section of the Annual catalogue, pages 98 to 105.

I was inspired by this image from page 102, I liked the soft colours and the cut out leaf stems in the background.

For my card, I decided to do a landscape orientation and changed things up by using a hexagonal layer behind the mamma kangaroo rather than the square in the original. I used the same DPS pack, but chose a different pattern as I liked this one with the touch of stronger blues and greens. The image is coloured with water colour pencils. 

  

I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use the samples in the Kids & Babies section of the catalogue to inspire your creativity, then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.

  

Time to hop on over and see what Michelle has created this week.
