Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 27 - Granny Apple Green

Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. We love chatting, crafting and getting together in person. 

Granny Apple Green is as crisp & fresh as it's name suggests. A perfect opportunity to colour some cacti in Granny Apple Green and create a card using Taco Fiesta.

Taco Fiesta is such a fun, playful stamp set and although it has no dies, the images are quite easy to fussy cut. The fun fold card had lots of surfaces to decorate after adding the black & white papers (equally fun) from Zany Zoo DSP.

The blackboard from Crafting With You holds some more messages stamped in white craft ink for the chalkie look.

Sometimes when I'm making cards for family I may get a little carried away and try to create "one with the lot". This just might have been one of those times!!!!!

Card 2: Easel Card

I couldn't help myself and kept playing with the same materials combining different ideas I couldn't fit on the first card. I love the row of cacti 'people'.

It was a lot of fun trying out different faces. It's been a pleasure adding these bright colours to the B & W and doesn't Granny Apple Green go so beautifully with Azure Afternoon?

Now it's time to leave my fiesta, thank you for passing and partying with me! Next on the blog hop this time is the wonderful Rosa Leyden.

CTC #424 CASE Love, Thanks & Support

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.

My inspiration came from page 75 of the Love, Thanks & Support section, the card on the left. What I lifted from the sketch was the background stamping on the card base which in this case were musical notes, borrowed from Sweet Songbirds stamp. See how the bear's head extends beyond the panel just like the heart does?

Because the Zany Zoo DSP, on special this month for $18.48 a pack, had so many members in the band, the panel on my card is much larger and busier than the original I CASEd.

The sentiment is also from Sweet Songbirds, I chopped it up and removed a couple of words to suit my card.

A second card evolved from my crafting session, but it has changed even more from the original.

The background stamping uses the sun rays from Circle Sayings and Deckled Rectangles have cut a couple of layers for this card.

The inside of each card was finished to suit, one with Alphabet A La Mode letters on adhesive sheets and card stock, the other with another dancer cut from the Zany Zoo DSP. Alphabet A La Mode dies are available in the online shop or get in touch to order if you don't like to make an online order.

We love for you to share your projects using the challenges. 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 letting us know which card or project you've CASE-d.
