CTC #221 Needlepoint Nook

Welcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week the design team are focusing on pages 38-41 of the Occasions Catalogue, from which you can order 3rd January - 3rd June 2019.



Although I have used Needlepoint Nook paper here, and the embroidered flower stamps, I cased the design above left, and just moved the sentiment band to different positions. The sentiment is from Incredible Like You, a stamp set which matches with one of the most beautiful kits I have ever seen.


When I stamp flowers, I always stamp a few extra and put them in little plastic tubs ready to use on other cards. Sometimes I cheat just a little too, and slice a flower in half to use each side of a sentiment strip, like I did above. Do you like the navy version or the black and red one best?



This black and white check paper is from the Botanical Butterflies DSP, a SALE-A-Bration freebie with your $90 order. Pretty good deal getting a $19.25 pack of paper for free, don't you think?

What will you CASE from pages 38-41 of the Occasions Catalogue? Make sure you share it here on our Facebook page.



And now its time to pop over to my dear friend Julia Quinn, her project is bound to inspire.



You can shop for supplies if you live in Australia, and use the Host Code for your order under $250 and I will share the benefits with you. Remember that shopping until the end of March earns you a SALE-A-Bration reward for each $90, you will be asked to select that if you qualify before completing your order. Click on any of the following products and it will take you to that item in my store.

Spotlight On Butterflies

Recently I had the good fortune to holiday on a cruise ship, travelling around New Zealand with my husband. It was a wonderful trip, and once we touched land in New Zealand we were in a different port every day, with lots to see. However, there were 3 sea days at each end of the trip, so I packed some sewing and some colouring, to keep myself occupied. I pack my Stampin' Blends and the cut rectangles of paper into a full size stamp case, (video size) for ease of transporting. I actually place my sewing needs into a half stamp case too, the cases are so useful.

You may or may not recognise this paper as being Botanical Butterfly, one of the SALE-A-Bration picks you can claim once your order reaches $90. I am a Stampin' Up! addict - the main reason I joined up 8 years ago was the 20% discount - so it isn't all that difficult for me to 'earn' these SAB goodies. Maybe you would like to know more about joining to fund your own crafting, or make a part-time or full-time business. Click here for information.




It doesn't seem to matter what colour base you use when you make the cards up, as it picks up whichever colour is featured. I ended up with seven different cards - all similar but with different sentiments, or label. The art-piece was always mounted on black card, and the insert inside matches.



This is quite an easy project to work on, get in touch if you'd like more information. I use very standard measurements and often keep the standard sizes of card on hand, ready to use. I will post pictures with links to items in my shop at the end of the post.



With this spotlight technique, you choose an area to highlight. With some, I used a circular object to pencil a round area (or two) to colour, and I also just ruled a diagonal line across, and coloured the smaller side. 


Placing an order with me and use the host code and there'll be a surprise in the mail for you the following month.
