Lone Christmas Tree CTC#59

Hello, its Sunday night, and I've been CASE-ing The Catty again. Maybe you have arrived here from Julia Quinn's blog, did you love what she shared? Don't forget to click on the link at the end to continue blog hopping around all the CASE -ing The Catty crew. This week we have been inspired by the Christmas trees in the Holiday Catalogue. There are plenty of them, so it wasn't hard to find inspiration. I chose one from page 12 of the catalogue and stayed with the same colour scheme and musical DSP. However, my tree comes from the much-loved Lovely As A Tree. The one I've CASE-d is the Bermuda Bay one on the right of the picture.

I've made this card 5.75 inches square, as it is accompanying a small calendar (of Australian scenes) all the way to Ireland, to get my cousin and his wife enthused for the Australian east coast road trip they are doing in January.

I've already made a number of thank you cards using this musical DSP, an order for a customer, but I decided I MUST make this card too, before I use all the paper up!

Lovely As A Tree is an absolute winner of a stamp set, it has been around for at least eight years, and its not going anywhere any time soon, because it can be used for Christmas, sympathy, birthday cards. After using Hello Honey ribbon on the front, it seemed logical to line the inside with that colour too. I had considered the DSP, but too much was hidden, and the honey colour looks so good with Bermuda Bay.


I decided to use the verse from Calm Christmas on the inside as the message is a lovely one for this time of year. Now, if you're wanting the cute littl wooden snowflakes or DSP with music - it's actually Jingle Bells - then you need to order before 4th January. Most of the Holiday Catalogue will be retiring then, if you want to know what is carrying over, I'm happy to share with you. You can shop 24/7 in my online shop and there is still time to get supplies before Christmas. Don't put it off, word is the word is that stock of the Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies has been exhausted in Australia. Hope you weren't wanting to order those!

Now it is time to check out what the lovely Helen at H2 Designs has to show on her blog. See you next week,


Cheers, Rachel

An Assortment Of Gift Tags - CTC50

It's Sunday, our new night for sharing,so here we are again on a CASE-ing The Catty Blog Hop. You may have arrived from Monique's blog, but if this is your starting point, make sure you click on the links at the end of each blog, to see what the design team came up with . This week we are CASE-ing tags and I used the picture from the catalogue as my inspiration, but as I don't have the stamp and framelits which feature here, I've improvised (and had a lot of fun doing it too!)
I had a Stampin' Up!® order arrive this week and there were three new stamp sets in there for me: Be The Star, Jingle All The Way and Snow Place. Even though Be The Star isn't a Christmas stamp, I've used it with black stars for a tag.

I hadn't planned to buy Snow Place, until I found out how much my little grand daughter loves penguins, and she likes stamping with Grandma too! She's so cute, even when she's asking me at 7 a.m. if she can do stamping now. I had a bit of fun dressing the penguins differently. I've tried to copy some of the techniques the designers for Stampin' Up!® have used, like stamping in the negative space of a die cut and raising featured parts. There's watercoloured backgrounds and an assortment of stamped silver star backgrounds too. You can make tags as fancy or plain as you like, and you certainly don't need lots of supplies to do it.



All the tags are cut 5cm wide by 10cm long. I used two different Tag Topper punches to shape the tops, and the new silver cord is perfect to tie through the top, or bakers twine does a great job too. There's a big list at the end of this post to show you all the supplies used. If you click on them, you're taken straight to my online shop.
The hostess code this month is EUFRFMNX

Now it's time to go to Stasia's blog, I'm sure she has something amazing to share. Thanks for dropping by here.
Cheers
Rachel
