CTC #450 - CASE The Holiday Mini

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 inspiration from the September to December Mini Catalogue, this will be our last challenge for this catalogue, and the last one for 2023!  So just pick your favourite project, or one that challenges you to use a different colour scheme or layout and join in.

I was inspired by this card from page 21, I love how the sentiment stands out, but also the card has some lovely layers as well.

I decided that with the Shining Brightly DSP that the background was busy enough so I didn't add the foliage behind the sentiment. I did decide that a strip of ribbon and bow would finish it off nicely. This is such a lovely layout, my card measures 8.5cm x 14.8cm, so will still fit into a standard C6 envelope. 

I had a couple of off-cuts so added them to the inside of the card to give it some interest.  Because this is a smaller than usual card, I didn't want to add a sentiment inside, rather have left the full space for writing my message. 

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

  

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

CTC #449 - CASE Colours of Merry, Bold & Bright DSP

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 inspiration from the colours in the Merry Bold & Bright DSP.  

These colours are Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce and Blueberry Bushel.

I wasn't sure how I would get all of these colours into one card, but then I thought how cute they would be used with the Joy of Noel and Christmas Classics Bundles.  Stamping each of the letters in a different colour, and layering these on the Granny Apple Green die cut banner really makes them pop.  I added Poppy Parade berries to the banner as well.  The background embossing folder is a retired one that I thought layered nicely with these bundles.  A pop of gold behind adds an sparkly element. 

I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use the colours of the Merry, Bold & Bright DSP to inspire your creativity, then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.
