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, create Craft By Post classes, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week we are CASE-ing an Annual Catalogue Layout, and giving it a Holiday Twist.
What a fun challenge this was! All I did was leaf quickly through the catalogue and my eye fell on the card on page 88, Welcome To The Team. I have this stamp and have enjoyed using it, so I decided to use the 'from all of us' from this set, along with 'Merry Christmas' from Christmas Gleaming. The 3 elves a-peeking is from #Elfie and the Stamparatus was very useful for lining them up. When I took the picture (above) I thought I was finished, but then went on to make some small additions.
Silver stars surround the Elves, and one of them has a sprig of holly stuck in his hat. I couldn't find a small holly stamp amongst the current stamps, so I took snips and trimmed one from a piece of DSP from the pack Night Before Christmas.
It's kind of nice to finish the inside with a strip of matching paper.
Another sheet of paper from the same pack inspired this second CASE of the desk chair card. It has the 3 elements in the art piece, and a mat behind of red glimmer paper, so it has a slim connection to the original.
Making Christmas Bright is a fun Christmas stamp from the Annual catalogue, and there is a co-ordinating punch for the light bulbs. I wonder what has Peta Stephen inspired this week?

There is always so much inspiration in these catalogues, I'm sure that is why CASE-ing the Catty is so successful! Now it's your turn to show what you can do with a little catalogue inspiration. Add your work at our Facebook challenge here.
