CTC#413 Favourite Retiring Project

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. As a group, I think we are all in a fluster this week with the announcement of the stamps, dies and colours we are losing. Here we are sharing some favourites we are sad to see leave.

Sunflowers always cheer me up, mainly because they remind me of sunshine and happy holidays. I've used two of my favourite sunflower stamps, Celebrate Sunflowers and the matching Sunflower dies, and Jar of Flowers.

I like the rectangle dies in Desert Details, which are unfortunately leaving us at the end of the month, but if you like them too, you could order them with the huge 60% discount on 4th April.

Misty Moonlight is a returning colour which is included in Harvest Meadow DSP on clearance, at only $8.00 that was a bargain! The Crumb Cake background is from the same pack. This card will be for my group of ladies at a community meet up. As there is already so much going on in this card, I have not added bling.

I've used the wooden bucket and sentiments from Cheerful Basket for the second card, while those flowers are from Jar of Flowers. There are 3 other arrangements of flowers in that set which fit so nicely into various containers.

I CASE-d my card from the green one in the middle (below) and stamped the Shimmery White panel with a long stamp using the Stamparatus to step-stamp.

The bottom left card used a mix-and-match approach for the sentiment, which I've imitated using Garden Green to make it bold.

We love for you to share your projects using the challenges. 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 letting us know which card or project you've CASE-d. I'm sure you have many retiring favourites in both catalogues that you can CASE.

Monique is sharing her favourite retiring item next on this blog hop.

Colour Creations Mint Macaron

The participants in Colour Creations are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. The colour for week 28 is Mint Macaron, a member of the subtle family, and a green which just may have begun my love affair with green!

This card featuring a sunflower was actually my second attempt at sharing Mint Macaron, but it became my favourite of the two, so has become the headline act.

It's great to find an opportunity to use strips, we all have them if we create with card, ink and paper. I may have needed to cut some extra ones for this project though. Have you spied the large Sunflower stamped on the inside?

Apart from Just Jade strips over Mint Macaron base, I've used stamps and dies from Celebrate Sunflowers to make the card.

I really dipped into my scraps to make this card, using all shades of green and greeny-blue here.With the sunflower card, the strips are glued direct to the card front, with Happy hello they're raised on dimensionals.

A couple of diecut leaves, and a butterfly supplied enough decoration.

The Sunny Sentiment was stamped, and a few gems added and we can call it done.

Next talented Art With Heart Team member is the charming Christine Blain
