CTC #536 - CASE The Mini Catalogue

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 brand new September to December Mini Catalogue, released on 3 September. 

I was inspired by this card from page 49 of the mini catalogue, I am not sure what it was that caught my eye with this one as I don't usually make shaker cards. It might just have been the cute little squirrel!

I CASE'd the basics of the original card, but used products from the stunning Ornamental Christmas suite. This suite includes gorgeous gold embossed DSP, coordinating dies and stamps as well as shaker stars and gold hoops, and two spools of bakers twine.  I love this pattern from the DSP pack as it has mini images that match the stamp and die bundle. I embossed these with gold embossing powder to keep with the gold theme.

To create the shaker I cut a square from the DSP using the stylish shapes dies, flipping over the cut out piece to show the gold embossed star pattern on the back, and popped it into cello bag. The bag was a bit big so I folded it over and secured with tape  before adding the cute little Gold Shaker Stars (also from the new catalogue). 

  

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

  

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

Happy Stamping
