Apple Notebook CTC#253


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, create Craft By Post classes, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. 


This week we are CASE-ing the Come To Gather pages 46-51. I am using Harvest Hellos and the matching Apple Builder Punch to make some small items for my upcoming market stalls.


Come To Gather DSP , although designed with the Northern Hemisphere Autumn in mind, also suits our "end of year" projects with the checks reminding us of school uniforms, perhaps?





I don't know if you noticed the title of my blog this week but I had a little chuckle to myself when I typed in 'Apple Notebook'! Not those expensive electronic gadgets, just a simple paper product. Tee hee! These notebooks are showing 4 sides of the paper in the pack, but of course there are a total of 12 different patterns (6 double-sided papers times 2) in each 12" by 12" pack. I'm hoping these prove to be a popular low-cost gift to purchase, or maybe I can inspire someone to make gifts themselves.



On page 49 of the Holiday catalogue where Harvest Hellos is shown, there is a pizza box shown with slices of apple all joined up, which inspired me to put 3 full apples under the needle, and sew them for the front of these notebooks.


I've been making matching post-it Note holders too, in two different styles. This one is slightly trickier with a mini pen tucked in the top, the other is a straight-forward cover. At the end of the month I am taking a stall at a couple of local markets, one is in Doreen, the other 6 days later in Mill Park. These are both relatively close to my home in South Morang.



There is always so much inspiration in these catalogues, I'm sure that is why CASE-ing the Catty is so successful! Now it's your turn to show what you can do with a little catalogue inspiration. Add your work at our Facebook challenge here.

Apple For The Teacher CTC#250




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, create Craft By Post classes, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. This week we are CASE-ing page 46 of the Holiday Catalogue.

The brown card with the pumpkin was my choice to CASE. There is so much inspiration on this page. Maybe you are beginning to think about crafting some gifts for your children's or grandchildren' teachers. My inspiration was the stamped background, a circle of DSP, an apple as the focal item and 'thanks'  as the sentiment on a strip across the bottom of the apple.


Making this card was a great excercise for me, as layering to this extent would usually be overwhelming, but by CASE-ing The Catty, it's like following a recipe. Although I did give it quite some thought, I decided to skip the step where background leaves were added!!!


The Apple Builder Punch, which is bundled for a 15% discount with Harvest Hellos, makes it really easy to punch out the apples. Best advice to using these combinations is to stamp first, and if you are colouring, also do that before you turn your punch over to position the image perfectly for punching out.


I've been enjoying using the stamp and punch to put together cards for markets, I hope they sell well. Here is a simpler version, a CASE of a CASE if you like!


Just a few small changes, less layers, different colours, but it's an easier card to construct. 



Which version do you prefer - green or red?
Looks like I'm the last design team member for this week so it's back to Julia at the beginning if you haven't seen all the designs.(There are 13 of us this time)
