CASEing the Catty #526 - CASE A Tag Sketch

CASE A Tag Sketch meets Charming Day

Hello, Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and #526 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 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 sketches for tags found on page 24 of the 2025-26 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

The tag sketch I am CASEing is the sketch on the top row and 2nd from the left.

My CASE uses some die cuts overlapping circles in the background with flowers sitting on the largest circle. Instead of landscape, my card is portrait. The sentiment is in a different position but is a long straight sentiment. That is the thing with CASEing - sometimes you can take aspects of the sketch or project, but not everything.

I had a number of different sized circular Stylish Shapes die cuts on my desk, so played with them to find a nice arrangement on a card front. Before adhering them down, the Basic White panel was de-bossed with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. A little partial blending was added to a few of the die cuts to add some Darling Duckling glow.

The larger image from a coming On-Line Exclusive called Charming Day bundle was stamped onto some Basic White card-stock in one of my favourite inks from the new 2025-2027 In Colours, ie Secret Sea. The flowers are so pretty and beautiful to colour.

The flowers and leaves were coloured with Stampin’ Blends combos, that is Berry Burst and touches of Fresh Freesia for the flowers and Granny Apple Green for the leaves and touches of Colour Lifter to add highlights. This was die cut with coordinating Charming Day dies.

A piece of White ribbon from the Ribbon Starter pack was cut in half lengthwise and both pieces were tied into a bow and tucked under some of the leaves. I had some sentiments made with the More Messages stamp and dies on Secret Sea card-stock so used the Happy Birthday greeting as it was long and thin like the sketch. A few Berry Burst Purple Fine Shimmer Gems were scattered around to add a little glimmer.

Just a little simple stamping of the larger floral stamp in Secret Sea Classic ink was added to the Basic White card inner with a little Darling Duckling blending. A Basic White C6 Envelope was decorated in the same way.

Thanks so much for calling in on your way around the CASEing the Catty Blog hop for Challenge #526.
