CASEing the Catty #539 - CASE the Peaceful Garden Suite

CASE Peaceful Garden Suite meets Peace on Earth

Hello, welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea & #539 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 Rachel Palmieri so you can continue with the Blog Hop.

At CASEing the Catty we love to use the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues and 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 on pages 32-36 of the 2025 Stampin' Up! September-December Mini Catalogue.

I CASEd the card on the bottom left hand side of page 32. Check out my card below. I have specifically CASEd the layout, water-colour background and splattering but used different colours and converted it into a Christmas card. I couldn’t resist embossing the background.

As mentioned, the background was water-coloured with Strawberry Slush & Timid Tiger Classic Stampin’ inks on Fluid 100 Paper and then embossed as the background was drying using the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder. Splatters were added with Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger, plus some white using the White Craft Ink re-inker. It was adhered to a Strawberry Slush card base.

The label was cut from Basic White card-stock using a smaller die from the Branching Out dies. Noticing that the label in the original card was from coloured card-stock, a very light covering of Strawberry Slush was blended over the die cut label. A dove from the Peace on Earth dies was cut from Basic White card-stock and the leaves from Gold Foil.

A sentiment from the Peace on Earth stamp set was gold heat embossed directly onto the label. The gold twig in the doves beak carries the gold through.

A little, now retired, White Iridescent Striped ribbon was tucked under the label with a loop and tail showing. Some Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems were scattered around as the finishing touches.

Inside the card a Basic White piece of card-stock had a little light Strawberry Slush blended over a corner and the other die cut dove was adhered in place. The sentiment came from the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. A Basic White C6 envelope was stamped in Strawberry Slush ink with a different sentiment from the Peace on Earth stamp set. A little blending was added to the edge.

Thank you so much for dropping in on your way around the CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.
