CTC #342 - CASE A Favourite Mini Catalogue Project

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 one of our favourite Mini Catalogue projects, I say "one of" as there are too many lovely projects to choose just one as a favourite!

 

I was inspired by the card on the bottom right of this image from page 18. I love the use of vellum and the various ways you can use it to add layers to a card.  I also thought this layout would be great to use with my favourite Tidings of Christmas DSP. 

For my CASE I decided to add two layers of vellum, because two layers are better than one! I used the lovely Soft Succulent In-Colour Shimmer Vellum on the bottom layer and regular vellum on top. It is so hard to photograph the beautiful shimmer to the vellum. I have kept loosely to the layout of this card, but used a larger sentiment and added the leaves and berries to the top rather than the bottom of the sentiment panel.

I love the Label Me Lovely Punch, but it is a smidge small for this sentiment.  I have found that by adding another punch layer to the sides it makes the punch out seem more elongated and with the coordinating colour it distracts from the little parts of the font that are clipped off the edge. 

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

CTC #341 - CASE A Glittery or Sparkly Project

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 sparkly or glittery project in the Holiday Mini Catalogue. 

 

This project from page 26 of the Holiday Catalogue stood out to me because I liked the way that the gold had been added to the Paper Lattice from the Annual Catalogue to add the sparkle to this card. 

The original seemed to have it added to only part of the lattice, but I decided to cover the whole sheet with Gilded Leafing, firstly adding Tombow Multipurpose glue to it with a sponge and waiting until it was tacky then adding the leafing ... boy did that make a mess, but a pretty mess!  Sentiment and images for this card are from Merriest Moments, stamped in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent stamped off. 

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

CTC #340 - CASE A Bundle

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 Bundles on pages 65 to 71 of the Holiday Mini Catalogue. 

 

I was inspired by this image from page 65, I really like this DSP so this card caught my eye, but so did the image above it from the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle so I decided to combine the two and use Gingerbread & Peppermint products to create a card using this sketch. 

I thought the little peppermint lollies in the DSP were perfect to add to the sentiment layered over DSP, I did use as the background a piece from the returning favourite, Heartwarming Hugs DSP.  I can almost taste the peppermint looking at this cute card, and it was simple and easy to create, just perfect for a Christmas Card.

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

CTC #339 - CASE Painted 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 our inspiration from the Painted Christmas Suite from the Holiday Catalogue, pages 16 to 23.

 

I was inspired by this image from page 19, these little bags were part of my first order and I haven't used them enough so wanted to re-create this project.

I kept to the general layout but used different elements to create my version. I used papers from the Tidings of Christmas DSP from the Annual Catalogue, have I mentioned how much I love these? The sentiment is from Merriest Moments, and I added some gold elements from Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack. I absolutely love organza ribbon and so couldn't help adding some Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon from the Annual Catalogue. 

As well as being a great layout for the front of a card, this little bag would be cute to gift some home made treats or even with an insert to give a gift card.

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

CTC #338 - CASE The Sketch on Page 34

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 card on page 34 of the Mini Catalogue.

 

Here it is broken down to its simplest form.

I am loving the Tidings of Christmas Suite in the Annual Catalogue, pages 88 and 89. The DSP has a Nordic feel to the sheets and as soon as I saw the images in the stamp set I fell in love with them. This was the first thing on my wish list from this catalogue.  This is one of my favourite sheets of DSP from the pack, and for this challenge I have paired it with a sentiment from the Merriest Moments bundle cut with one of the Tasteful Label's dies. The addition of some Champaign Basic Jewels adds just a pop of sparkle. 

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