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.
The assignment was to CASE Peaceful Garden suite which can be interpreted in many ways. You might choose the colours or a technique but as usual, I took inspiration from the sketch or layout.
The label from this suite is large enough to accommodate any sentiment, and I really liked the idea of tucking a focal point on a corner of the label. It's a good design which stands the test of time.
This sentiment is from Pine Tree Trimmings, and it doesn't use much space on the label. Some ink blending with Soft Sea Foam, softened and filled the label and I then used the same technique on the inside of that card.
After investing in a few new Christmas stamp sets I have many choices when it comes to sentiments. Words For The Season has verses for card inserts for Christmas (2), Halloween and Graduation and as it is a red rubber cling stamp in the September-December mini catalogue, it will disappear soon after that ends as Stampin' Up! ceases production of those stamps.
The circled card inspired my creations, but I simplified and altered my design. Patterned paper is easier than the water coloured background, especially if you have a lot of cards to make. The orientation was changed from landscape to portrait, and I used ribbon/twine in a different way.
This version is monochromatic and using the Peace On Earth sentiment from the stamp we are CASE-ing really filled the label much better.
The inside of this card is fairly standard with enough space for a short message to a friend.
Next you are popping over to Peta & Marvi, let's see what Peta shares this week.
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.
