CTC#334 CASE Pages 8-15

The 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 the Gingerbread and Peppermint Suite taking in pages 8-15.

Using the colours, with the addition of Bermuda Bay, and the layout, oh... and maybe the cookies too - I've CASEd the red card with three gingerbread cookies. Nothing's Better Than has an assortment of treats to choose from, and with the Stamparatus, it's so easy to get them all lined up.

There are plenty of sentiments in that stamp set too, especially if you also invest in the dies as the phrase ' love you more than' is included, along with separate words for chocolate, coffee, cookies and cocktails.

Best Year though has a great Father's Day combo of 'Happy Father's Day' and 'to the world you are a DAD to me you are the world' and you can see how I split the longer sentiment in two with a little masking. Now it's your turn to play along. CASE from pages 8-15 of the mini catalogue and share it on CASE-ing The Catty Sunday Challenge.

The next talented design team member on the hop this week is Michelle

Using Patterned Paper 'In Symmetry'

Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper (the beautiful pattern papers) are really good quality double-sided papers which usually co-ordinate with a stamp set, and maybe dies too when you're lucky. In Symmetry doesn't have any dies, just a border punch. Sweet Symmetry DSP is similar to folk art on one side of the papers, but more subtle on the reverse.

The DSP gives you a starting point with colour co-ordination, and you know you can use any of the papers and they tend to go together happily. This style above is a favourite of mine for showing off papers. It is a basic card front size (10cm by 14cm) sliced diagonally from corner to corner with opposing triangles flipped over. It's an easy but lovely way to show off two sides of the paper.

The other style is a mix of the papers cut 4.5cm by 6cm, and shuffled about to get pleasing combinations of three.

These cards were dressed up a little more with extra stamping, heat embossing and the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

The large flower from In Symmetry fits the Stitched So Sweetly label rather nicely.

That's just two ways to cut your patterned papers to make lovely cards using one pack of paper. There are many other ideas you can use, and twenty different packs of paper to choose from in the Annual catalogue and the mini June-December catalogue.

Maybe you are wanting to stock up on crafting goodies? There has never been a better time than now. Select $235 worth of Stampin' Up! products from either catalogue and pay only $169, including shipping, catalogues and business supplies. Then you get to add a bundle which you choose yourself too and add to your starter kit.

With the most expensive bundle being worth $104.25, you are potentially able to order $339.25 worth of products and still pay $169 total.

I would love to have you in my team, most of the crew would consider themselves "shoppers with a discount" (discount starts at 20%) but you can take this business further if you wish. We have a private Facebook page where we share what we are making and get to know each other a little better. Even if you have been in my team (or someone else's) before and have dropped, there is still room for you now. Reach out if you want to know more and check this page for some more questions answered.

AWH Colour Creations Showcase - Gorgeous Grape

Gorgeous Grape is our colour this week and members of the Art With Heart team are sharing their creations using this colour.

Since I was pretty much in the middle of obsessively using 'Under My Umbrella', I continued on to make a wreath card using a small flower around the outside and a similar arrangement in the centre circle.

Artistry Blooms DSP has such beautiful vibrant paper, that seems to tie the design together, although it isn't looking like Gorgeous Grape.

'Best Year' includes sentiments for the front of the card as well as the inside. That's a bit of a bonus, and then another opportunity to stamp more of those pretty flowers.
