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.
