Ladies With Style

You've Got Style is a funny stamp set containing a couple of stylish ladies, a lovely sleek cat and a favourite sentiment of mine, 'Hope your birthday is as bubbly as you are'. It was released in June 2017 in the Annual catalogue and before we had Bubble Over to play with. These two sets have the potential to be matched up.

So, we have this chic champagne sipping chick in her pale, pink fur with the luscious, white trim (very textured with textured embossing paste). The colours for the clothing were dictated by the rich Painted With Love Speciality Designer Series Paper. The paper is thick, double-sided, many with gold foil and only available until May 31st.

The cat popped up on the second card, along with his vibrant mistress. It's almost like playing paper dolls when you have to decide on the colours they are wearing!

I'm thinking that if I was thinner, I would be more likely to be the bead, boot and bag lady, than the one in fur (particularly if its not fake fur!). Reminding you, there is just over 3 weeks of SALE-A-Bration left, don't forget to order to get your free items for each $90 spent.

Holidays and Birthdays.CTC#138

Welcome back to another blog hop with the crew from CASE-ing The Catty. Do keep on hopping along, to see what else the crew are sharing. Our challenge this week is to CASE from the NEW Annual Stampin' Up!® catalogue, Holiday section, from page 112-125.

Although I'm holding Christmas classes in July, I haven't really got into the mood for Christmas cards as such yet. I had no difficulty CASEing page 118 of the catalogue for another birthday card. You've Got Style recently arrived in my studio, and the first stamp I used was the sentiment on this card. Love it! "Hope your birthday is as bubbly as you are! Happy Birthday!"

Bubbles from Playful Backgrounds decorate the art piece, with a section left clear for the flute glasses, which are from a retired stamp set, Making Spirits Bright. If you're after something current, Mixed Drinks (page 60) has a single flute, a wine glass, beer mug and one of those jars you put a straw into. Just a whisper too, the new Holiday Catalogue has another stamp set which includes different types of wine glasses, flutes etc. Let me know if you'd like a Holiday catalogue when I get my hands on them. They go 'live' on September 1st.

Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack (that means there are 48 6 inch square sheets of pattern paper) has some really unusual colour combinations. Rich Razzleberry with Pool Party and Calypso Coral with Pool Party and Old Olive are a couple which I find really striking. I used a sheet as the background on my card, and then chose ribbon and card to tone.

These Glitter Enamel Dots are so pretty. You can almost catch the glimmer, but I had no luck picking up the Wink of Stella champagne!

The card I CASEd is the red & white stripe one. First I tried to put the banner across the middle of the art piece but it just didn't work. I did however CASE the ribbon behind, which I wouldn't normally do. I'm great at buying ribbons and all things pretty but a bit hopeless at using them.

Next stop along this blog hop is the very clever Fi Cobbin. She has CASEd the same card as I did, but put her own slant on it. Such a cute reindeer.
