CTC #563 - CASE The Easter Joy 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 the projects featured in the Easter Joy Suite in the January to April mini catalogue.  There are some really cute projects, but don't think you have to do an Easter project, just use the catalogue projects to inspire your own creation. 

I chose these two cute little cards, when I spotted them I realised I would be able to use a sneak peek from the new catalogue being released in May. At the recent OnStage event for demonstrators I got the gorgeous Scenic Coast DSP which has beautiful sunset over water images on one side, and mottled coloured backgrounds on the other.  

I used one of the sheets of DSP that made me think of those beautiful mornings where the sun makes the whole sky glow, and it made me think back to growing up and Easter morning my parents would say "Happy Easter, He is Risen". I used a very old sentiment stamp for this card as I don't have any current Easter sentiments, and some current embellishments. So overall this is a bit of a past, present and future project!

  

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

  

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

Card Swap Chain Series 5 - CASE-ing Me!

Back in November 2025 we started the fifth series of the Card Swap Chain, arranged by the lovely Tracy Held. The idea is the we each made a card and sent it to another person in the chain. That person would CASE (Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit) the card and send it to the next person who would in turn CASE it and send it on. There are 10 of us in this chain so definitely opportunity for a few variations to sneak in between the first and last card, and these blog hops take you on the journey through the CASEing process. 

This chain started with my Christmas inspired card, keeping in mind this round started in November I was in full holiday mode!!  I loved this Christmas suite and coordinating sentiment and labels ephemera packs, they make productivity so easy!  

Time to keep hopping to see how this card was interpreted for this chain, how many of my elements do you think will see it through to the end? Let me know in the comments below.

Card Swap Chain Series 5 - CASE-ing Ros

Back in November 2025 we started the fifth series of the Card Swap Chain, arranged by the lovely Tracy Held. The idea is the we each made a card and sent it to another person in the chain. That person would CASE (Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit) the card and send it to the next person who would in turn CASE it and send it on. There are 10 of us in this chain so definitely opportunity for a few variations to sneak in between the first and last card, and these blog hops take you on the journey through the CASEing process. 

This chain started with this lovely card from Ros. I love her choice of colours with this card and the coordination between the stamped and DSP images. If you didn't begin this hop with the first blog, I would recommend you pop back there to start the hop and learn a bit more about the original card, and follow its transition through the hop.

I was the last card in this round, so as expected there are a few differences between mine and Ros's card, though you can see they are related. I chose the lovely online exclusive Lovely Blossoms DSP and let the DSP do all of the work, not even adding a sentiment. I love the printed panel that creates the feature on the front, this is part of the DSP pack, so no stamping required!  I finished off with co-oridinating embellishments.

Time to keep hopping to see how this card was interpreted for the rest of the chain, and if it is still recognisable by the end of the chain What elements do you think made it all the way down the line?

Happy Stamping
