CASE Mini Catalogue's Templates meets Fragrant Layers
Hello, welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea & #555 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 Monique Fielder so you can continue with the Blog Hop.
At CASEing the Catty we love to use the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues & Online 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 sketches found on page 17 of the 2026 Stampin' Up! January - April Mini Catalogue.
For my CASE this week I chose a scrapbook page layout - the one in the lower RHS. I converted it into a landscape card and am featuring the gorgeous On-line Exclusive Fragrant Layers bundle. Check my card out below:
The larger stamp from the bundle was gold heat embossed onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper before being water-coloured with the fine Water Painter using Strawberry Slush, Pretty Peacock, Basic Beige Classic inks and a touch of Pool Party ink around the image.
When dry, the image was fussy cut out and layered over a similar arrangement that was die cut with the coordinating Fragrant Layers dies. A few little leaves were also die cut. The watercolored image and die cuts were arranged over a Branching Out Basic White label that had been mounted on a slightly larger piece of Pretty Peacock card-stock.
The Basic White background panel was 3/4 covered with small Basic White card-stock die cuts, including little double leaves, little flowers and a detailed flower outline. I used these die cuts to mimic the different sized circles on the Scrapbook page background.
A bow tied with retired Gold twine was tucked under a flower. A sentiment from the Fragrant Layers stamps was white heat embossed on Pretty Peacock card-stock. This was die cut with a label die from the bundle. The final touch was a sprinkling of a few of the Valentines Assortment embellishments.
The card inner and envelope were partially stamped and gold heat embossed using the floral arrangement used as the focal water-coloured design on the card front.
