CASEing the Catty #489 CASE a Bundle

CASE A Bundle pgs 39-50 meets Hang an Ornament

Hello, Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and #489 Challenge with CASEing the Catty.

I am so glad you have dropped by. You may have come from Peta Stephen and Marvi, as you take this week’s Blog Hop or perhaps another way; either way I am delighted you are here. At the end of my blog, I have linked to Judy May so you are easily able to continue with the Blog Hop.

At CASEing the Catty we love to use the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues as inspiration and each week we have a different theme to guide our CASEing. To CASE is to "Copy And Selectively Edit" or some say "Copy And Share Everything". This week we are CASE-ing a project that is inspired by a bundle and project  found in between pages 39-50 of the 2024 September-December Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue.

There are so many delightful bundles between pages 39 and 50 of Stampin’ Up!s September - December Mini Catalogue. For this week’s challenge I chose to CASE the white background card on the left on page 44. Specifically I have CASEd the colours of the card using the same bundle and also took inspiration from the visible section of the spruce Christmas Tree shown at the top of the page with ornaments hanging.

Here is my card:

As you can see, I still have a majorly white background but have changed a bauble colour for Cherry Cobbler and used Old Olive Classic ink to blend over the spruce frame from the Winterly Tree Tops dies using a Blending Brush. The spruce frame was cut twice and one was turn turned 180deg and layered on top of the other one. This give a more luscious feel to the frame. Sitting behind the spruce frame is a Basic White panel dry embossed with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder. Rather than a Basic White card base, Pretty Peacock card-stock base was used. 

The Hang an Ornament bauble stamps were inked in Versamark ink and white heat embossed  on each Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Cherry Cobbler card-stocks. The coordinating die from the Hang An Ornament dies cut out the baubles. The bauble top and hook were die cut from Gold Foil. These pieces add a special touch and are easily adhered in place.

"Merry" was stamped / white heat embossed twice on Pretty Peacock card-stock and fussy cut  to add to the Pretty Peacock bauble. "All is merry" was white heat embossed on Lost Lagoon card-stock and die cut with the thin rectangle die from the coordinating dies. The sentiments were popped up on Dimensionals to the baubles.

Two pieces of die cut holly was also coloured with Old Olive ink. They were positioned with Glue Dots and the oh so gorgeous Cherry Cobbler (& Pearl) Adhesive-backed Berries were added to the holly and scattered over the baubles. The Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon was cut in half lengthwise and tied into a double bow, then adhered to the top bauble with a Glue Dot. A little Pretty Peacock splattering was added using a Stampin' Write Marker.

A couple of remaining white heat embossed baubles were adhered to a Basic White card inner and some Gold Foil bauble tops and hooks were adhered in place. A Basic White C6 envelope was stamped in Lost Lagoon ink with a couple of baubles and sentiments.

Thank you so much for spending time with me. I so appreciate it. I hope you found something of interest. x
