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 card on page 16/17 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue was the inspiration for my project this week.
I haven't done a slimline card for a very long time and so this was a great opportunity to make one. I love how easy it was to create this with a strip of DSP and sentiment. I was going to do a bleaching technique, but sadly we are out of bleach, so I had to think on my feet!
I decided to add a second layer of gold die cut to the sentiment. This is the same piece cut from the Eden Garden dies but turned around so that different parts show under the white. Adding a couple of Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to it really adds some bling without being too shiny.
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.
Happy Stamping

The DSP you chose looks great and a great substitute. Don’t you hate when you have an idea of what you are going to do but then don’t have something you need?!? Great back up plan.
ReplyDeleteA slimline card is perfect for showcasing that bold tropical designer paper, Monique. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the gold behind the label and flipping it is a great idea!! Great card.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of DSP, saves a lot of effort. Great tip for the greeting too, thanks!
