CTC #493 - CASE The Sentimental Christmas Suite

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 Sentimental Christmas Suite, on page 28 of the Holiday Catalogue. This is such a cute suite and is the "Making A Difference" collection for this catalogue, which means Stampin' Up! will make a $4.25 donation for every DSP or Suite Collection sold.

I was inspired by this card from the suite, I liked the idea of using a plainer version of the focal image as a pattern on the background.

While I kept the Christmas theme of the original, I did mix it up with different DSP and stamp/die bundle.  I used the Season of Green & Gold DSP and lovely Peaceful Evergreens bundle with a sentiment from Peaceful Season stamp set. 

The sentiment on the front of the card matches the one I have stamped on the inside, also decorated with a tree and matching DSP.  I added a strip of gold from the Textured Metallic Specialty DSP.   This is a card that would be easy to make in bulk, even using different DSP and stamp combinations, I think I'm going to add it to my card sketch collection!

  

I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use the projects on page 28 to inspire your creativity, then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.

  

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

Happy Stamping
