Noted CTC#241

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 from page 101 of the catalogue.

The elephant card caught my eye, partly I think, because I am also a mad-keen patchworker with umpteen projects on the go, and just look at that background. Since I usually make cards, I decided it was time to change things up a tad, and decorated a notebook. Our designer series paper, which come in packs of 12 sheets of beautifully co-ordinated shades are perfect for a bit of mix & match. I used Woven Threads Designer Series Paper using a soft, washed palette. There are many more suitable packs on pages 165-167 of your Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

After punching a number of pieces with the Tailored Tag Punch and beginning part-way down against the book binding, I began to assemble my paper patchwork. There is a small margin left around the pieces as the notebook cover was a pleasingly neutral kraft card.

The pieces hung over the edges when I'd fully covered the book, you could use a paper slicer if you have one, or just long-bladed scissors to trim the excess off.

I did stamp a label using the Daisy Lane stamp, co-ordinating medium daisy punch (sold as a bundle at a 10% saving) and Lined Alphabet, using my Stamparatus to get the letters lined up straight. There are so many options you could use to finish off a notebook or diary. It isn't a very difficult project to complete with some pretty DSP, a few punches, glue and scissors and what a handy, homemade gift it would make.
