Sketch #12 with the Great American Stamping Show

To help inspire my crafting I'm following along with the Great American Stampin' Show as they use the sketches from the catalogue as inspiration. This week it is sketch #12 and as usual, you do not have to follow strictly to the same formula. Use the sketch to inspire, and don't forget to send the cards you create.

These cards were used for my October class, totally inspired by this sketch and some of the beautiful DSP Stampin' Up! has available for us to order.

I had circle punches in 1¾" and 1½" so I substituted that size, and a 2½" die from Spotlight on Nature.

To give options, I made another version using Rustic Crate.

This one had a Pretty Peacock base and Crumb Cake panel. 

The other paper I chose was Perennial Lavender DSP and a lovely stamp set Rustic Crate. Putting the first crate together was challenging but after that they are so easy!

The front of the crate even gets the woodgrain embossed as it is being cut out.

These sketches are so handy, have you used any of them to spark your creativity?

Sketch #8 With the Great American Stamping Show

To help inspire my crafting I'm following along with the Great American Stampin' Show as they use the sketches from the catalogue as inspiration. This week it is sketch #8 and as usual, you do not have to follow strictly to the same formula. Use the sketch to inspire, and don't forget to send the cards you create.

The papers from Perennial Lavender are great for a 'mix and match' style card like this, with soft and soothing shades. This paper is available to order in my online store, and there is a stamp set and dies which co-ordinate. 

Happiest Day is a lovely little stamp set which includes the birthday sentiment. It fits in the space left when I didn't put DSP in the centre.

 Now you can see what the Great American Stamping Show Gals have made this week for week 8.

CTC 459 - CASE pages 23-31

 

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.

This week we are CASE-ing Perennial Lavender pages 23-31 of the mini catalogue and invite you to join us with your CASE of a project from this section. You can be inspired by a layout, colours, choices of embellishments, and share with us what inspired you. Later in my post is a button which takes you to a Facebook page where you can share your project.

Everyday Details on page 28 inspired me to choose a single item, a coffee cup, in the centre of a die cut rectangle. Since I also own Everyday Details bundle, I could have copied this card exactly, but where's the fun in that?

Perennial Lavender DSP was still my choice for my card, but I stamped a cup from a NEW Online Exclusive which you can order from 5th March (Tuesday). 

Latte Love Bundle 163461 $81.75

A Little Latte DSP 163453 $21.75

Latte Love is avaialable as a stamp set, stamp & dies bundle (10% saving on both) or as the Little Latte Suite which includes everything you see below:- a 12" x 12" pack of designer series paper, stamp, dies, ribbon and embellishments.

Little Latte Suite  163466 $135

The aperture was cut with Perennial Postage dies, to show a lovely gingham paper also from Perennial Lavender. Sometimes the 'B' side of DSP isn't noticed but these two are so nice.

So, for my project I CASEd the layout, the rectangle frame, a twine bow and a single focal 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.
