The CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. We love to inspire you to utilise the inspiration in there too.
These are good cards for any level of crafter. There is minimal stamping, the designer series paper does all the work. Fussy cutting DSP is probably easier than cutting your stamped images, and I also use part images, by tucking them under the label. The avid crafter could add more layers and embellishments than I have.
For the blue card, I've used the SAB paper, Paper Blooms, instead of Flower & Field. These flowers are very easy to fussy cut because the shapes are large and bold. The Rococo Rose flower is the only complete flower used - the others all came from the edges of the paper and have bits missing. All hidden behind the label and other flowers, so all good.
The stamp and dies are being offered from March 2nd, with the promise that they are in the new Annual catalogue. Probably a good idea to take a look at what is already on offer with Butterflies, because I think at least one stamp will be culled from the range.
Happy Thoughts stamp set on page 28 of the January-June Mini was co-designed by Jackie Bolhuis for her Million Dollar Career sales, and consists of only sentiments. I like to have these in my collection, especially those with a longer sentiment which can be used on the front of the card, as I did here, or just as happily on the inside.
With CASE-ing the SAB catalogue, you can pick from anywhere, be inspired by anything, but make sure you share on our Facebook Challenge page.

Your cards are so pretty! Your fussy cutting on the first is so even - I am in awe of your patience! The butterfly paper is stunning, I really need to get my butt into gear and order some!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've been able to use the flowers off the edges of the bloom paper too! Brilliant layout for this technique. And your fussy cut butterflies is truly amazing. Both these cards are just glorious.
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty! I don't think you need any more embellishments at all, they are perfect as is. The DSP really stands out on these, what a great layout. The butterfly DSP is particularly gorgeous, I must get mine out and use it. Thank you for the inspo!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great layout for designer paper, Rachel and both of your cards are beautiful. I'm looking forward to receiving the butterfly bundle.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards look great. Great fussy cutting and love how you’ve used the part images from the DSP.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have used flowers from the edges, such a great way to not waste those pretty flowers. I also love your pretty butterfly card!
