CTC #418 CASE-ing the New Catalogue

CASE the New Catalogue - well that's a biggie! Do you have a favourite bundle? I'm looking forward to receiving Crafting With You. There are so many cute cards showing up using this set.

While I patiently wait for the Big Brown Box to be delivered, I used Cheerful Daisies to CASE (copy and selectively edit) Sweet Citrus on page 32 of the new catalogue.

For my first card I CASEd the Flirty Flamingo card on the left. I noticed there was stamping across the base, on the diagonal and used small daisies and supporting flowers on my card. I decided against taking the sentiment right across the art piece so I could use the included sentiment and label die from the Cheerful Daisies bundle.

The white panel is smaller than usual, and I actually trimmed another centimetre off after I'd finished stamping so it didn't cover as much of the base. The large daisy and its smaller version are great substitutes for lemons!

For card 2 I began by using a Basics embossing folder, the one that looks a bit like cross hatch. A blending brush was loaded with Boho Blue ink and blended across the card front in an ever-increasing circle until the ink ran out.

The die cut daisies have 3 flowers and some leaves on each piece, so it needed to be die cut twice. An extra leaf  for over on the left side of the piece was needed as well as a flower to raise on dimensionals over the label.

It's quite handy to have two new birthday cards for my stash!

Now I bet you have CASEd the catty to get your crafting mojo happening. Won't you share with us this week? You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE.

Next CTC crew member is actually the first as well, Rebecca Scurr.
