CTC #424 CASE Love, Thanks & Support

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.

My inspiration came from page 75 of the Love, Thanks & Support section, the card on the left. What I lifted from the sketch was the background stamping on the card base which in this case were musical notes, borrowed from Sweet Songbirds stamp. See how the bear's head extends beyond the panel just like the heart does?

Because the Zany Zoo DSP, on special this month for $18.48 a pack, had so many members in the band, the panel on my card is much larger and busier than the original I CASEd.

The sentiment is also from Sweet Songbirds, I chopped it up and removed a couple of words to suit my card.

A second card evolved from my crafting session, but it has changed even more from the original.

The background stamping uses the sun rays from Circle Sayings and Deckled Rectangles have cut a couple of layers for this card.

The inside of each card was finished to suit, one with Alphabet A La Mode letters on adhesive sheets and card stock, the other with another dancer cut from the Zany Zoo DSP. Alphabet A La Mode dies are available in the online shop or get in touch to order if you don't like to make an online order.

We love for you to share your projects using the challenges. 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 letting us know which card or project you've CASE-d.

Colour Creations - Week #45 - Shaded Spruce

The participants in AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. We love to Blog Hop sharing all the Stampin' Up! Colours alphabetically. This is week #45 and Shaded Spruce is our colour.

When I hear "shaded spruce' I immediately think of trees - well you would too I expect. For that reason, I was determined not to use a tree for this week's challenge. Teen boys have been on my radar lately and Conversation Bubbles seems a good one for them. My only complaint is that there is no birthday greeting in that set, so I grabbed one from Irresistible Blooms which fitted the big bubble.

Rays of Light is the big background stamp which I placed on the Stamparatus for easy multiple stamping.

My class ladies are wanting masculine cards, they must have families like mine with men and boys outnumbering the ladies. They all enjoyed making this card at our March Craft & Chat and although there was a feminine version, this was the one they all chose. 

On the inside is an offcut from the Rays Of Light panel, the outline of a Conversation Bubble and stamping from Party Puffin.

It's hard to believe that we have nearly reached the end of our colours, with only a few weeks to go until the new Annual catalogue is in our eager hands! I hope you check in next week to see what the team have made with Smoky Slate.

Now it's time to hop over to South Australia and my talented friend Andrea Sargent. Please comment if you liked my project, it's always nice to hear what you think.

If at any time you find a broken link or would like to see a full list of participants, please head to the blog of our host of the AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop, Catherine Proctor.

Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent & Fresh Freesia are about to retire as In Colors.

I wonder what will replace them?
