CTC #369 -CASE the Mix & Match Section





CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource, and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too. You may have just landed here, or perhaps you arrived from Julia's blog.





One of the things I noticed about the mix and match section was that many of the cards share a similar design. While they have used different card bases, sentiments and ephemera, many of them gather a group of those items around a central point. The bottom two lines in the picture above mainly have the focal point centred, others used the same idea but positioned the group to one side.



I haven't CASE-d any particular card, but just tried out my version of the grouped items. I included two of my favourite new stamp & die bundles with some fresh new In Colors. Country Flowers on the left has been getting lots of use in my craft room. The cottage-y quaint images are very usable and the fonts on the sentiments only add to the sweetness.


The other bundle is Attention Shoppers with a shopping trolley, gift bag, pot plant, flowers, cake & wine. From a stamp set I was definitely NOT buying; it transformed into a big favourite after seeing a demo by Mikaela Titheridge. Do you ever find that?


These 4.5 inch square cards are finished inside too.
