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 any of the glittery projects in the Mini Catalogue, and boy are there a few of those as we have such a great range of glimmer papers in this catalogue.
I was inspired by this image from page 10, created with the Sweet Candy Canes Bundle.
Now I haven't purchased this bundle (yet), but I did get to have a play with my friend Cathy's bundle when we had a recent craft catch up. I decided to just use the background die and not the candy canes, rather combine some of my own purchases and use Leaves of Holly Bundle for the leaves and gold accents, and the Very Best Occasions Bundle for the sentiment. This bundle comes with some great all purpose sentiments, and I particularly like the one I used on this sparkly card; it also has a trio punch which I used to punch the corners of the sentiment tag and create the little slits for the ribbon to pass through. The ribbon is the Gold and Vanilla Satin Edged ribbon from page 31 of the mini catalogue which I have coloured with Stampin' Blends to coordinate with the colours in my card. I love the subtle gold in this ribbon.
Time to hop on over and see what Peta has created this week.
Happy Stamping

Oh, how gorgeous! Your background is so elegant, and the leaves layered over the top are lovely. The pops of gold are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your card. The striped background is stunning. The sentiment panel with leaves is perfect to finish it off.
