CASE the Sale-a-bration Brochure meets Corner in Bloom
Hello, Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and #505 Challenge with CASEing the Catty.
I am so glad you have dropped by. You may have come from Rebecca Scurr, as you take this week’s Blog Hop or perhaps arrived directly here; either way I am delighted you are here. At the end of my blog, I have linked to Julia Quinn so you can continue with the Blog Hop.
At CASEing the Catty we love to use the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues or On-Line as inspiration. 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 any project found in the Sale-a-bration Brochure.
There are numerous projects displayed in the Brochure. It was a hard choice this week. All the projects can be wonderful starting points for creating your project. I chose to CASE the project below for this week’s challenge - CTC505:
I saw Emma Goddard, a UK SU Demonstrator, use the Corner in Bloom Sale-a-bration stamp set during last week’s Card and a Cuppa session so the set was top of my list to use and I thought it would work beautifully with a CASE of this project. Here is my card:
The background was tone on tone stamped using a couple of stamps from the Linked Together stamp set. I do love the subtlety of tone on tone stamping, in this case Petal Pink Classic Stampin’ ink on Petal Pink card-stock, and don’t use this technique enough.
Instead of the diamond die from the Linked Together bundle, I used the largest long/thin hexagon die from the Nested Essentials dies to cut a Basic White hexagon. This was popped up on Dimensionals.
The largest floral corner stamp in the Corner in Bloom stamp set was inked with Gray Granite ink and stamped a couple of times on Basic White card-stock. The coordinating single floral image was stamped a number of times as well. The images were coloured with Stampin’ Blends combos, ie Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Old Olive together with the Colour Lifter to add highlights. All the coloured images were fussy cut with my trusty Snips. The flowers were arranged and adhered in place with either Dimensionals or Glue Dots.
“A happy day” was white heat embossed onto Petal Pink card-stock and then fussy cut. This sentiment was positioned with Mini Dimensionals. A bow was tied with the gorgeous Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon and added with Glue Dots. (This ribbon is gorgeous - so soft and ties beautifully.) The final touch, some of the white Saleabration Purple Adhesive-backed Sequins to provide a touch of shimmer. (They too are beautiful.)
There were some coloured flowers remaining after completing the card front, so some were added to the Basic White card inner. Another strip of coloured flowers was added to a Basic White C6 envelope. I love it when leftover pieces can be used to decorate the envelope and inside the card to keep coordination throughout the project.
Don’t miss any of the inspiration from this creative CASEing The Catty Crew. The next blog in the hop is by the lovely Julia Quinn. Just click on the "next" graphic below to be taken to her blog. I wonder which project she has CASEd - I am sure her project will be something special.
