CTC #532 CASE a Project Featuring Animals

 



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 for the CASE came from the card on the left in the picture above. I do have Silly Safari in my stamp room but when I CASE I prefer to try a different idea. Instead of cutting three apertures, I stamped the pears in similar positions. I incorporated Timid Tiger with the lines top and bottom using Stripes & Dots. Stripes & Dots is going to get lots of use on my cards and scrapbook pages.



Perfectly Pear is the main stamp/die bundle I used, and it has two sizes of pears, these are the small ones. There's a fill-in stamp to colour the pears and a little Timid Tiger was added with a sponge dauber. It's nice to have a set that isn't floral but is still pretty.


The leaves and branches are quite small and Stampin' Write markers were perfect for adding some colour to these. Don't forget that there is a Stampin' Up! promotion running through August for you to add this years InColor products to your stash at 15% off.


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 up is Peta and Marvi, I wonder what they will share?


Have a great crafty week!

CTC 530 - Case Boho Vibes Suite







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.


It has been quite a while since I have participated in a blog hop, but hopefully I will be able to contribute more regularly for the remainder of the year. There are a number of ways you can CASE, it may be a sketch, the colour scheme or something else altogether.


The card on page 63 inspired me, but I took it in a different direction with paper from Florals in Bloom DSP. The sentiment on the catalogue sample was a positive message, so I chose another positive one from Peace on Earth which will be available for you to order in early September.



I stamped Granny Apple Green and Petunia Pop card with matching ink and stamps from Stripes & Dots stamp set. When I ordered this stamp I thought it was a large background stamp, but I've been pleased to find they are all individual. This card was cut into banners for contrast behind the label.


The rather gorgeous two-tone Sparkle Gems add the finishing touch.


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.





I'm the last on this blog hop but if you haven't done the full circuit yet, you can head to Rebecca's blog for some more inspiration.


Have a great crafty week!
