CTC#370 - CASE the Colours of Flowers & Frames

 

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. 

There are so many colours included in this paper so I punched circles and glued them to a strip of white, just so I could visualise what I was working with. You can see so many of our greens plus Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Petal Pink and Lost Lagoon at the other end.

A really pleasing combination, and I had added the paper to my order.

I began using paper in Lost Lagoon from A Little Latte DSP and stamped the mug from Latte Love in Pretty Peacock before colouring with blends in Lost Lagoon.

This sketch is one of those featured on page 22 of the catalogue and it is also one I have used frequently over the years. I based both of these cards on this sketch.

The Flowers & Frames paper includes some patterned rectangles measuring 9.5cm X 13cm which isn't quite right for an A4 card front. With a little trim though, it made a perfect strip front for the second card.

This is another sketch I use frequently, especially because Stampin' Up! papers coordinate so beautifully. Sign up for my newsletter because I am sharing the PDF for this card later in May. Like me, you may just end up making this one over and over again!

The Flowers & Frames pack includes laser cut preprinted ephemera which makes it so easy to decorate your creations.

Country Birdhouse supplied all the sentiments for these four cards, I really like the font as well as the wishes expressed.

For the inside, a strip of paper, a stamped sentiment, and one even has an ephemera corner added. These cards were an absolute joy to work on!

Now it's your turn. We do request that the projects you submit have been created especially for this challenge. You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE.
