Party Animal CTC #110

 

After a short break, CASE-ing The Catty is back!!! There is the Occasions AND a SALE-A-Bration catalogue to discover together - I do hope you have your copy in your hot, little hands, but if not, you'd best let your demonstrator know that you NEED one now! This week we are CASE-ing pages 4-7 of the Occasions catlaogue, Party Animal. Did you see what Tricia made? If you haven't, it's okay, you'll go around in a circle until you're back at the starting point.

When you're a family of 17, there's always a birthday around the corner. My d-i-l has already celebrated for this year and soon it's her eldest son, but not before another of my grandsons turns 7 the week before. This card is for 'Mr Almost-9' and I do hope he's happy with it. I'm actually considering adding his name, stamped, below the sentiment - just to personalise it a bit more. It is called Balloon Adventures and has a couple of bold greetings as well as some slightly smaller ones.I used the 'ink to rubber' technique to create a two-colour sentiment, which does tend to be softer in colouring. Basically, you colour the rubber with Stampin' Write markers in the chosen colours, 'huff' on it, then stamp.
 

These tags were the starting point for my inspiration, and I tried to amalgamate the two on the right into one card. The Balloon Builder Punch is an asset when it comes to punching out those balloon bases and if you have that already, you might think it unneccessary to invest in the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlets. You can manage without it but the pop-up insert is very dramatic. I've already used it for Mr Almost-9's brother already though, so it will get a rest for this card. I did utilise the spotted and striped decoration for the balloons. If you purchase the Balloon Adventures Bundle #144708 at $90.75 plus shipping, you will qualify for one FREE Sale-A-Bration item.


 Now you should head over to see what loveliness Krissy has created this time...

 We are starting the new year with a new format and we hope you will love it! Every Sunday at 7pm (AEST), we will be sharing a new section of the current Stampin' Up! catalogues to CASE.

The CTC Crew will start off with a blog hop and then you have all week to create and join in. Make sure you put your photo in the challenge album by 7pm Saturday to be included.There is no requirement to be a demonstrator or have a blog to join in.

The weekly challenge with links to the album will be pinned to the top of the page.
