Whales are animals too!! CTC#276

Hello and Welcome to our Sunday Night Blog Hop and Challenge CASEING the CATTY.

To CASE is to Copy And Selectively Edit or to Copy And Share Everything and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (Catty).

This week, we are CASING the animals in our new Catalogue. and I definitely knew I'd be featuring the wonderful Whale of a Time suite for this one!!

I was inspired by the lovely card on the right above, that features a great technique of colouring onto an embossing folder.  

Before embossing my Just Jade cardstock I inked up the textured side of the Seabed embossing folder with Whisper White Craft ink, and then ran it through my Cut & Emboss machine - this gives a lovely two toned textured background that works just beautifully for my central panel card.  

The inside of the card features a small punched piece of Pool Party for your writing panel.

And the front of the card has images and a greeting from the wonderful Whale Done stamp set.  I just loooove the gorgeous shimmery pool party ribbon that comes with this suite!!!  

Up next on our animal hop is the wonderful Michele and her totally adorable Hippo project!!!

We love it when you join in the fun with our challenge too - and what could be more gorgeous than using the animals in our current catalogue as inspiration!!  Add your project to our facebook challenge page here!!  

Please head over to my online store if you wish to see these products in more detail - and you can place your order anytime (if you're in Australia) while you're there (even if you're in your pyjamas!!) 

 And, if you can see yourself creating cards and sharing your love of papercrafts while inspiring others, perhaps you might be interested in the Stampin' Up! Business opportunity - contact me to find out how.

The Masculine Cards CTC#274

Hello and Welcome to another fabulous Sunday Night Blog Hop CASEING the CATTY.

To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit, and we love to CASE from our Stampin' Up! Catalogues - CATTY.  

This week we are CASEING the Masculine Cards from our new Annual Catalogue.  Welcome if you've just arrived from  Michelle and then make sure you keep hopping right around the team to see some gorgeous masculine cards!!

I have been inspired by the lovely High Tide card on page 27.  I have made this Z fold card using this stamp set before, but this time, I've really showcased the amazing Old World Paper embossing folder.  

I've used the embossing folder for the watery background and for the rocks surrounding the base of the light house - what do you think????

The 'sand' at the foreground of the card was stamped with the sandy images from the stamp set and also embossed using the Subtle embossing folder.  

The writing panel for your greeting is on the back of the card which repeats some of the imagery from the front of the card.  

This is such a fun card because you can stand it up on your mantelpiece to show it off AND it folds easily for posting!!

When the card is fully opened it is the full length of an A4 sheet of cardstock.  

This has been a week for Masculine cards for me - my husband needed a card for a colleague retiring who's super car keen, so this is the card we gave to him - and it was inspired by the image on page 28 above which shows off those fabulous metallic foil gears!!  

Up next is the totally lovely Tina.

So, would you like to join in the fun with us and share your masculine cards inspired by our catalogue?  Just add the photo to the lineup on our Facebook challenge page here.

Travel on the Social Stamping Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome to our weekly Social Stamping Blog Hop!!  This brilliant idea came from the amazing Kelly Kent and has allowed a bunch of us to share our creativity with each other and with you!

This week, the theme is Travel.  If you get lost on the hop, just click on the image above to see the list of everyone in the hop to continue on your way!!  If you've arrived from the wonderful Lisa, then welcome!!   Keep hopping around to see some wonderful creations!  

These are some cards featuring fancy folds and the stunning World of Good paper, that are for my cardmaking class coming up!  This suite is just perfect for a travel theme - maybe there will be lots of projects using these products to inspire you on the hop?

This amazing fold is the Bay Window Fold inspired by the amazing Lou and I have used it to feature the stunning designs on the paper, as well as the awesome brass foil globe.  There's a piece of vellum behind the earth to make it stand out from the paper a bit more.  

The second card is a large z-fold card with the world map paper featuring as the star of the card!! There's also a little piece of crumb cake that has been embossed with the Old World Paper embossing folder - I love this effect!!

And the last Mossy Meadow card is a split panel card which helps show off the paper too.  

I love these really cool masculine cards - and my husband's birthday is very soon so you can see why I was inspired to use these wonderful colours, stamps and papers!!  

Up next on our hop is the amazing Elizabeth who is so very artistic!!

Week 2 of the NEW Catalogue Woohoo! CTC271

Hello and Welcome to our Sunday Night Blog Hop and Challenge CASEING the CATTY!!

To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit, and we love to CASE from our Stampin' Up! catalogues.  

This is our 2nd week of introducing the NEW Catalogue - and this week we are CASEING anything from the catalogue!!  

Annual Catalogue 2020-2021 page 1 all images © Stampin' Up! ®

My Project was inspired by the VERY FIRST PAGE!!  Stampin' Up! have shown this gorgeous layout featuring the new Incolours -  Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, Bumblebee, and Cinnamon Cider.  

I've used the awesome Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Cards and Envelopes (what a mouthful that is!!) as my card bases - this pack of cards features ALL the new colours with 10 printed cards and envelopes.  Using these made the job so much easier and quicker!!

   

My next step was then to choose new products to feature with coordinating colours for each of these cards.  The Magenta Madness card features the Flowers for Every Season paper and the Lovely You stamp set.  The Just Jade card features the gorgeous Forever Fern bundle of dies and stamp set.

  

My Bumblebee card shows off the lovely Jar of Flowers bundle of stamp set and punch, and the Cinnamon Cider card showcases the Beautiful World bundle of stamps and dies.

The Misty Moonlight card features the lovely Tasteful Touches bundle of stamps and dies.  

This is my project to showcase a lot of  NEW products and the NEW colours for when I have my Catalogue Launch for the New Catalogue!!  I hope you're inspired too!!

Up next is the fabulous Michelle and her project inspired by the New Catalogue.  

 We really love it when you join in the fun with us too CASEING the CATTY.  Just add your project inspired by our New Catalogue to the lineup on our Facebook Challenge page here.
