CTC#300 CASE The Mini Catalogue





On page 7, right at the beginning of the mini catalogue is a project kit, pictured below. This is not an all-inclusive kit - you can use a stamp set you already have, choose one from any catalogue, or add 'You Are Amazing' to your order. I have bought both, as I think the stamp is rather fun with the variety of fonts used.


I decided to show some alternative cards you could make, if you only buy the stamp, substituting Whale Of A Time DSP, and inspired by the cards in the project kit. This stamp set can certainly adapt to any fun paper.



Beginning with the Bumblebee 'Thanks' card, I've cased the circles from the original, but split them instead and changed the arrangement a little. 'Stitched Rectangles' are the perfect fit for this stamp.


When it came time to style this card, it was based on the 'amazing' card at the top, but I ended up not wanting to layer the labels like that, which would hide those fish. I've used two nesting labels from 'Painted Labels'. It is in the Annual catalogue on page 177, bundled with 'Painted Poppies' stamps saving you 10%.


This card was CASE-d from the bottom left card, but went off in it's own direction, as they often do. I decided against the vellum label and used a strip of DSP, with a fussy-cut turtle as an accent. These 2 cards are ideal for my grandsons to use for the many parties they attend.


This was CASE-d from the 'amazing' card with the layered labels, again from Painted Labels, with a length of ribbon instead of the paper banner. I stamped large strawberry flowers onto DSP and punched them with the Small Blooms Punch. It's wonderful how Stampin' Up! provide several stamps to co-ordinate with punches and this one still has Basket of Blooms on page 48, and a retired, lovely stamp set from last SALE-A-Bration.


It seemed a good idea to finish off the inside with a few more stamps from Sweet Strawberry. I hope I have been able to show you how You Are Amazing is a very useful, fun stamp for birthday cards, and adapts very well to other stamps and papers you may already have.


I'm always excited to see what Tina Gillespie has CASE-d from the mini catalogue. Let's hop on over and see.

  2. Your cards are wonderful! You didn't lead me wrong in convincing me to buy the Whale Of A Time DSP, and now I think you might be leading me in the same direction with the You Are Amazing stamp set. LOL!

  3. Great set of cards. Love how you’ve used different DSP but kept other elements similar. They all look great.

  5. What a lovely set of cards! I hadn't thought of just using the stamp set attached to a kit. And that looks like a very handy stamp set.
