CTC#236 Love, Thanks & Support

Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week we are CASE-ing love, thanks and support, an enormous section from pages 72 - 97.

There are so many great samples through these pages but my choice was prompted by a customer commision for some cards suitable for weddings/engagements. I turned to Page 77 for inspiration and was able to make two with Dandelion Wishes and another two with the Stitched Be Mine dies, such lovely heart dies.

I knew my customer didn't have particular people in mind, so I wasn't trying to match an invitation or anything, which is where CASE-ing the Catty is such a handy point of inspiration.

Using the ornate heart from the sample was a given, and I liked the slim banner for the sentiment, and couldn't resist putting my own spin on, by threading it through the heart. Another difference is the designer series paper instead of a washed background, it is so pretty that it seemed a good idea to use it, as it has retired.

This version has more of the layers under the heart, like the card I CASE-d from, and there are still a number of other variations I could make.

This sentiment is from Dandelion Wishes and is lovely for a wedding or engagement card, don't you think?

Michelle Strazds has another amazing project to share this week.

Join our challenge on Facebook, just let us know which card you've CASE-d and the page number. I look forward to seeing it.
