CTC#413 Favourite Retiring Project

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. As a group, I think we are all in a fluster this week with the announcement of the stamps, dies and colours we are losing. Here we are sharing some favourites we are sad to see leave.

Sunflowers always cheer me up, mainly because they remind me of sunshine and happy holidays. I've used two of my favourite sunflower stamps, Celebrate Sunflowers and the matching Sunflower dies, and Jar of Flowers.

I like the rectangle dies in Desert Details, which are unfortunately leaving us at the end of the month, but if you like them too, you could order them with the huge 60% discount on 4th April.

Misty Moonlight is a returning colour which is included in Harvest Meadow DSP on clearance, at only $8.00 that was a bargain! The Crumb Cake background is from the same pack. This card will be for my group of ladies at a community meet up. As there is already so much going on in this card, I have not added bling.

I've used the wooden bucket and sentiments from Cheerful Basket for the second card, while those flowers are from Jar of Flowers. There are 3 other arrangements of flowers in that set which fit so nicely into various containers.

I CASE-d my card from the green one in the middle (below) and stamped the Shimmery White panel with a long stamp using the Stamparatus to step-stamp.

The bottom left card used a mix-and-match approach for the sentiment, which I've imitated using Garden Green to make it bold.

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. I'm sure you have many retiring favourites in both catalogues that you can CASE.

Monique is sharing her favourite retiring item next on this blog hop.

CTC#333 CASE SALE-A-Bration

The 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.

We are CASE-ing the SAB catty this week, and it is amazing how much inspiration is in there. I turned to near the back, page 14 in fact and the Delicate Dahlia stamp. It sparked my creative juices and I decided to try the design using sunflowers.

There are a couple of stamp sets with sunflowers, and initially I was using Jar Of Flowers. This stamp has been neglected of late, so it probably enjoyed seeing some ink today.

I was quite happy with the card, although there was only one stamp to use and it was difficult to not stamp in rows. The strips were already cut from preparing cards and card fronts, so I chose a few colours that suited and glued them to the card.

There are a number of the leftover circles from Picture This dies lying about my craft table, so I stamped a sentiment from In Symmetry onto one, as the original card had a round label.

Wondering what it would look like if I stepped the card up a little, I fetched the Sunflower dies I have. They are kept inside the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp case, and with the 2 different sized flowers and some leaves, it was more similar to the Dahlia stamp. I changed the orientation for the second card, and used less scrap strips, but added diecut pieces and some loosely woven ribbon.

Stitched So Sweetly dies have some beautiful labels, and this is one of the smaller ones. These are both quite simple cards to make, a casual stamper with minimal experience should be able to manage them.

Do you have a preference?

Now it's your turn to CASE your favourite Annual Catalogue Suite. There is no need to use the same products, just CASE the design or colours and share what you've done here on the Facebook page

It's time to see what the talented Peta Stephen and Marvi have been up to this week.

I would love to have you in my team, most of the crew would consider themselves "shoppers with a discount" (discount starts at 20%) but you can take this business further if you wish.

Even if you have been in my team (or someone else's) before and have dropped, there is still room for you now. Reach out if you want to know more and check this page for some more questions answered.
