CTC#374 CASE Favourite Retiring Mini Bundle

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. Thank you for visiting the blog of Rachel Palmieri in Melbourne, Australia.

I haven't made a mistake with the challenge - I know Nuts & Bolts isn't a bundle! I'm actually CASE-ing the Gumball project I'm pointing to, but the robots didn't fit on the stamped punch shape, so I masked them instead, so you still have three images on stamp-shaped pieces, just like the Gumball sketch.

Party Puffins is a handy stamp set for sentiments that have a similar font to Nuts & Bolts. Thought a straight 'Happy birthday' was easier for a younger child to understand, rather than HB2U.

I've had a great week making lots of masked projects. Have you tried masking yet?

Party Puffins includes one saying 'from all of us'.

We love having you join in our challenges. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE, and let us know which card or project you've CASE-d. No blog required, no special qualifications.

I'm sure Michelle Strazds will have a beautiful project this week.

Colour Creations - Pumpkin Pie

I knew that Pumpkin Pie was going to be a HUGE challenge for me. In fact I had contemplated just giving it a miss, but this blog hop is all about challenges, and it would be cowardly to not try - right?

Nuts & Bolts is a great stamp set for boys (and men?) and there's even

a sample for a girl on page 13 of the Jan-June mini catalogue.

I tackled it by looking at the birthday cards needing to be made, and there are a lot in our family for February and March. I've used Nuts & Bolts with the robot as a different 'bright' to lift the grey. 

You may be wondering about the cogs and bolts. When we have a stamp or die set which is a bit special, like Geared Up Garage, I hang onto it. Might as well use Stampin' Up! retired stock than an opposition firms.

I loved it so much I made 2, one for a 4 year old, the other for a 12 year old living in different states. Mr 12 looks pretty happy with it!

Birthday Robot

 

In between tidying my craft room this afternoon and sorting classes for the coming weeks, I spied this challenge at Just Add Ink. 

Now minimalist is somewhat outside my comfort-zone, and I bet I'm not the only one , but I'd just finished prepping the new stamp Nuts And Bolts to use tonight, and decided he was the perfect candidate for a minimalist card.

You'll find Nuts & Bolts on page 13 of the Stampin' Up! mini catalogue, just perfect for kid's birthday cards and even Valentine's for your sweetheart. I'm thinking even my young grandies could stamp some of these!
