One More Year with Wine

While I had One More Year out I kept going and made a simple card using the wine and cheese image.

There are a nice variety of birthday sentiments in this set, but I wasn't a fan of the second line of this particular sentiment, so a literal cut & paste did the trick.
 

Inside is a second sentiment from One More Year and a partial image. Do you have a friend this would suit? I certainly do!!!

All products used to make these cards are Stampin' Up! and are available in my online store or contact me to find out more details.  

It is a good time to shop during February as SALE-A-Bration continues until the 28th where you earn free product with every $100 increment of your order, so one stamp/die bundle will usually get you there, but it is also a good time to stock up on the basics like card and glue.

Colour Creations - Week #35 - Misty Moonlight

 

Happy New Year! Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. After a short Christmas break we are back creating with Misty Moonlight. It's a not-quite-navy, almost denim shade which is a pleasure to use since just like denim, it goes with anything.

With our mini catalogue ready to order from now, it's a great time to share some creations made with a new stamp set, One More Year and Timeless Plaid 6" X 6" DSP. Misty Moonlight seems to go well with the plaid pattern despite the colours not matching.

Definitely inspired by the catalogue sample, but with a few tweaks, it was a lot of fun making this card. I heat embossed the sentiment in black for a nice, clear image.

As soon as I saw this stamp, on the inside, I knew it would be perfect for my son's approaching 49th birthday.

CTC #501 CASE THE MINI CATALOGUE

Here we are at the beginning of another year - Happy New Year! 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. 

Especially when there is a new product release, I will often CASE a card very closely because it gives my creative juices a kick start. I am planning on offering this card in pink or blue at a Card Buffet in February and so I made both samples.

One More Year is in the mini catalogue and has a number of fun images and sentiments for birthdays. My team and customers have a preference for birthday cards, so this stamp was a 'must-have'.

Using Timeless Plaid DSP, the same as was used for the catalogue sample but arranged slightly differently gives an interesting background for the stamped image. 

Watercolor pencils and a blending pen were my choice for colouring these images both for a variety of techniques and to allow the requirements for each card to be supplied in a basket along with the packs.

A second line from the Happy Birthday greeting was trimmed away after stamping, and a different second sentiment was stamped inside along with a partial cake image.

Now it's your turn. 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.

Next crew member to share is Rebecca Scurr

I hope you are inspired to create something using the mini catalogue.
