CASEing the Catty #508 - CASE Sale-abration Brochure

CASE Saleabration Brochure meets Thankful Garden

Hello, Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and #508 Challenge with CASEing the Catty.

I am so glad you have dropped by. You may have come from Julia Quinn, 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 Peta Stephen so you can continue with the Blog Hop.

At CASEing the Catty we love to use the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues and the official Stampin’ Up! site, 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 the Sale-a-bration Brochure. Sale-a-bration is a wonderful time when free products are available where specified conditions are met.

My eye has been captured when I browse the Sale-a-bration Brochure by page 3 which displays a fun scrapbook page. Cardstock / papers are arranged to fan out in rays stemming from behind an off-centred photo/label. I converted this concept to a card and used one of the designs from the Full of Life Designer Series Paper as the background.

As I was designing this card, I found some Crushed Curry roses on my workstation that had been created using the gorgeous Thankful Garden masks and dies. As one of the colours in the DSP was Crushed Curry I thought they would be lovely sitting on a Spotlight on Nature die cut, as the centre piece for my card. As mentioned, the flowers were created with 3 layers of Crushed Curry Classic Stampin’ ink and the Thankful Garden Masks. The leaves were coloured with the masks and 2 layers of Garden Green ink.

A trimmed panel of the radiating Full of Life DSP was stamped in Versamark ink and either the tiny leaf or flower centre dots on some of the radiating colours. The panel was then sprinkled with Wow Clear Emboss powder and heat set using my Heat Tool. I love the subtle texture this adds.

Other texture that was added to the background were tiny die cut leaves - cut using small dies from the Thankful Garden dies. The leaves were cut from offcuts of the DSP and a little extra colour was added with Blending Brushes.

The Crushed Curry flowers and light Garden Green leaves were arranged with a couple of leaf stems over one of the largest Spotlight on Nature Basic White card-stock disc. A couple of the flowers were popped up on Dimensionals. The sentiment was cut from a longer sentiment that had been white heat embossed on Basic Black card-stock. Don’t forget to look at the sentiments in your stamp sets and think about different ways you can use the words, eg I have just used “for you” from a sentiment that says “thankful for you friend”.

A triple White Bakers Twine bow was tucked under a corner of the sentiment. This twine comes from the Bakers Twine Essentials pack. A number of gems from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack were scattered around.

Both the Basic White card-stock inner and the Basic White C6 envelope were decorated with strips of DSP and some left over tiny leaves. Just some simple touches to coordinate the inside of the card and the envelope with the card front design.

CASEing the Catty #505 - CASE Saleabration

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.
