CTC#370 - CASE the Colours of Flowers & Frames

 

CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource, and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too. 

There are so many colours included in this paper so I punched circles and glued them to a strip of white, just so I could visualise what I was working with. You can see so many of our greens plus Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Petal Pink and Lost Lagoon at the other end.

A really pleasing combination, and I had added the paper to my order.

I began using paper in Lost Lagoon from A Little Latte DSP and stamped the mug from Latte Love in Pretty Peacock before colouring with blends in Lost Lagoon.

This sketch is one of those featured on page 22 of the catalogue and it is also one I have used frequently over the years. I based both of these cards on this sketch.

The Flowers & Frames paper includes some patterned rectangles measuring 9.5cm X 13cm which isn't quite right for an A4 card front. With a little trim though, it made a perfect strip front for the second card.

This is another sketch I use frequently, especially because Stampin' Up! papers coordinate so beautifully. Sign up for my newsletter because I am sharing the PDF for this card later in May. Like me, you may just end up making this one over and over again!

The Flowers & Frames pack includes laser cut preprinted ephemera which makes it so easy to decorate your creations.

Country Birdhouse supplied all the sentiments for these four cards, I really like the font as well as the wishes expressed.

For the inside, a strip of paper, a stamped sentiment, and one even has an ephemera corner added. These cards were an absolute joy to work on!

Now it's your turn. We do request that the projects you submit have been created especially for this challenge. 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.

Mug of Latte

Latte Love is brand new this week and can be viewed in the Online Exclusives. A large selection of new products were added on Tuesday this week. Although I am not a coffee drinker, I do love a big mug of tea! These cards were made for a class, I do like to give my ladies options.

Pecan Pie was used for the card base on this version along with a couple of strips of A Little Latte DSP surrounding a Very Vanilla panel.

One mug was fussy cut, while the one in front was stamped, die cut and coloured with Stampin' Blends.

Believe it or not, the brown strip on the left card is just the reverse of the Lost Lagoon stripe on the right-hand card.

For this card on a Lost Lagoon base, the mug has been stamped onto Calypso Coral and die cut to make a quick and easy card. You can check out all the Online Exclusives by clicking this link - https://bit.ly/RachelsOnlineExclusives

A Little Latte Love

Tomorrow (5th March) there will be HUGE additions to the Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives.

If you only wanted to invest in some designer series paper, here is a sample of what you can do with A Little Latte DSP and card, an embossing folder from your stash and a sentiment stamp. This greeting from Rustic Crate seemed appropriate to me, what do you think?

A Little Latte DSP 163453 $21.75

It was quite easy to fussy-cut around the coffee cup image although the dies do have an outline image for this included.

Strictly speaking, I have cheated a little by stamping some splatters from the Latte Love stamp set, I had momentarily forgotten that I added the stamping. However, a number of retired stamp sets have a splatter stamp if you weren't planning to buy the stamp set.

You may already have a number of these supplies in your stash, such as the Stripes & Splatters TIEF, Pool Party and Petal Pink A4 card or you can head online and add some new bits to your shopping basket! Happy crafting!

CTC 459 - CASE pages 23-31

 

CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource, and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too.

This week we are CASE-ing Perennial Lavender pages 23-31 of the mini catalogue and invite you to join us with your CASE of a project from this section. You can be inspired by a layout, colours, choices of embellishments, and share with us what inspired you. Later in my post is a button which takes you to a Facebook page where you can share your project.

Everyday Details on page 28 inspired me to choose a single item, a coffee cup, in the centre of a die cut rectangle. Since I also own Everyday Details bundle, I could have copied this card exactly, but where's the fun in that?

Perennial Lavender DSP was still my choice for my card, but I stamped a cup from a NEW Online Exclusive which you can order from 5th March (Tuesday). 

Latte Love Bundle 163461 $81.75

A Little Latte DSP 163453 $21.75

Latte Love is avaialable as a stamp set, stamp & dies bundle (10% saving on both) or as the Little Latte Suite which includes everything you see below:- a 12" x 12" pack of designer series paper, stamp, dies, ribbon and embellishments.

Little Latte Suite  163466 $135

The aperture was cut with Perennial Postage dies, to show a lovely gingham paper also from Perennial Lavender. Sometimes the 'B' side of DSP isn't noticed but these two are so nice.

So, for my project I CASEd the layout, the rectangle frame, a twine bow and a single focal image.

Now it's your turn. We do request that the projects you submit have been created especially for this challenge. 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.
