This week at CASE -ing The Catty, we are focusing on the birthday section of the new Annual catalogue, pages 5-12. You may have arrived here from Kathryn's blog, or perhaps you are starting here. Kathryn and I used the same inspiration sketch, in different ways, don't you love that you can do that? If you keep on hopping from blog to blog, you'll have lots of ideas for your next batch of birthday cards!
Page 5, is where I found heaps of inspiration. I focused on two of the cards and made only minor changes. Mainly, I decided not to use lace, substituting patterned paper from Cherry On Top. I'm using these as class samples for my July class, so wanted to show a couple of different colour choices. This year's In Colors are a delight, so fresh, and Watermelon Wonder is a fave of mine. I really like the way they co-ordinate with the existing colours and just add pizzazz to the range.The Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack co-ordinates perfectly with it, and the Bermuda Bay used on my other pair of cards.

Build A Birthday, a new photopolymer stamp set provided most of these images, and Sprinkles of Life and Cupcake Party helped out a little when I couldn't find a suitable image in Build A Birthday.
I experimented with the fringing too and the watermelon card has fringes of card, while the blue has the Cotton Paper. The ladies at class will have the opportunity to choose which they'd prefer, as the Cotton Paper comes in a pack of four colours.

The blue card reminds me a lot of a pinata, so maybe I prefer that, but regardless, its easy to cut this fringing with the Fringe Scissors.
Next you're heading off to Monique's blog, she has a cheeky little card for you!

I love how fresh & bright all of your projects are. How cute is the fringing! I am yet to try out that cotton paper but it looks like fun.

ReplyDeleteLovely, fun cards Rachel. Love the fringing and those polka dot cup cakes look super. Great to see different ideas with the same sketch.
ReplyDeleteSo bright and happy. I hadn't taken much notice of the layout with the circle but you've made me look again, and it is the perfect sketch for lots of quick, bright, fun cards. Thanks for the inspiration Rachel.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bright projects. I CASEd the layout with the circle on Friday for a crafty get-together with some friends and it is really versatile and fun. :)

ReplyDeleteI love the fringing too!! And the colours
ReplyDeleteGreat take on this card design, I like the two different takes with the fringes, it makes so much difference with one colour vs different colours.
