CTC #572 - 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 inspiration from the projects using the stamp and die bundles in the new catalogue, you can find them on pages 36 to 42. There are lots of inspirational images on these pages so I am excited to see what the Design Team and participants create. 

I was inspired by this card from page 42, I liked the simplicity of the layout and where I usually am all about symmetry the main elements on my card, this one had the focal panel toward the lower half of the card so I wanted to give that a try.

I decided to use the Waterside Retreat DSP as my starting point and this cut out panel was just perfect, I did trim a little bit off the right hand side. I used the woodgrain piece behind the focal image, and because I wanted to use up scraps, this isn't one panel but rather two small strips, the important thing when doing this is to make sure the pattern lines up!  

I cut the other images of the life ring and vest from other sheets of the DSP and finished off with a sentiment from the coordinating Relaxing Waterside stamp set. I love the muted colours on this card it feels so calming.

  

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

  

Time to hop on over and see what the lovely and talented  Julia has created this week.

Happy Stamping
