CASE Stampin’ Up!s Annual Catalogue meets Ornamental Christmas
Hello, welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea & #535 Challenge with CASEing the Catty.
I am so glad you have dropped by. You may have come from Monique Fielder, 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 Stampin' Up! Catalogues & On line Exclusives 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 projects found in the 2025-2026 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.
I am CASEing one of the cards on page 40 that has been created to showcase the Florals in Bloom Suite. I love the layout of the card at the top of the page and also the lateral use of one of the wonderful Party Banner dies. CASEing those aspects I have used parts of the Modern Christmas suite (a soon to be released On-line Exclusive) together with the Words for the Season bundle (from the coming September-December Mini Catalogue).
While I have been someone who uses very little Black in my projects I am really taken with the Modern Christmas Speciality Designer Series Paper. It is luscious and striking featuring Basic Black, Basic White & Gold. The stunning gold stars on a black background design was used as the background for this card.
The trees were stamped and die-cut using the Ornamental Christmas bundle. One of the techniques used was heat embossing on speciality papers, that is on Gold Foil and the gorgeous Secret Sea Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. I hadn’t stamped on this type of speciality paper previously so was excited to see the results. It opens up new horizons.
A panel of Thick Basic White card-stock was cut with a Party Banner die. I do like to use this card-stock when I am going to pop it up on Dimensionals. The two black trees were adhered directly to the banner where-as the gold and white tree was also popped on Dimensionals. A section of Gold Foil was adhered to part of an Adhesive Foam Sheet before being die cut with a die from the Words for the Season dies. The word “Greetings” was white heat embossed onto Basic Black card-stock and cut with a die from the same set of dies. This was popped on Mini Dimensionals - they are the perfect size.
Final touches included some Basic Black splattering, a double bow using the Black & Gold Twine from the Modern Christmas suite. A number of Black Shimmer Star Foam Stickers were strewn around.
The inside of the card was stamped with trees from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set and the sentiment is from the Words for the Season stamps. A Basic White C6 envelope was also stamped with the same trees.
Thank you so much for dropping in on your way around the CASEing the Catty Blog Hop for Challenge #535. I do so appreciate it.
