Let's emboss!! CTC#388

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 amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues.  

This week, we are CASEING an embossing project from any catalogue.  Embossing covers 3 different techniques - there's heat embossing shown above, dry embossing using a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine or embossing with Embossing Paste.  

My project features embossing using the Leaf Fall embossing folder featured in the June to Dec Mini Catalogue.  I've also CASED the layout of the card using this glorious folder.

I embossed our vellum cardstock and then added a little colour using Soft Suede and a blending brush.  

The Leaf Labels and Amber Gems worked perfectly with this gorgeous Leaf Fall embossing folder.  The stamping comes from the super useful Sending Smiles stamp set and coordinating Sending Dies - these are a fabulous bundle!!  I've also die cut the leaves from the Sending Dies and our gorgeous gold glimmer paper.  

I've also added some lovely wooden Textural Elements embellishments which I've left raw - the colour worked well with the lovely leaves. Under my Sending die cut is a little piece of Texture Chic paper.  

Inside I've added a couple more leaves using the Leaf Fall embossing folder sponged with a little Soft Suede.  I hope you like this project featuring embossing.  Make sure you keep hopping around everyone for some fabulous inspiration.  

UP next is the amazing Rebecca and her festive card!!

For the love of Punches CTC#387

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 amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues which are full of inspiration.

This week, we are CASEING a punch project  from either of our catalogues.  

My pick for the CASE this week was this very simple card on page 21 of the Mini Catalogue.

This week, I need quick and easy, so my card is very simple indeed!!  The gorgeous paper is doing all the work for this card.  

I'm featuring the gorgeously stunning Splendid Day Suite of the amazing designer paper, and the Splendid Thoughts bundle.  I've combined these with the fun Handmade Tag Punch which I love for an interested greeting label.  

I die cut the gorgeous white glimmer paper using the Splendid Stems dies and left the inserts inside the die so it shows up a bit better against the gorgeous paper.  I've stamped using Soft Suede for the greeting and for the inside of the card.  The ribbon detail is the gorgeous organdy sparkly ribbon, and I've also added some super sweet iridescent pearls.  

Simple stamping for the inside of my card finishes it off.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop with a sketch challenge!

Hello and Welcome to our Monthly Blog Hop sharing amazing Stampin' Up! scrapbooking!!  

This is actually in an international group of truely inspirational scrappers - you will love their work!  

This month, we have a sketch challenge - and I really DO love a sketch challenge!!  It helps make the page fall together soooooo easily!

Our amazing Courtenay is providing our challenge this month - thank for your this great sketch Courtenay!  I had to change the orientation for the photo mat to accommodate my photos, but other than thank, my layout is exactly the same.  

My project features my current favourites (well, the last few projects have used these products!!)

As these are photos from a wedding, my first choice was to use the Splendid Thoughts bundle, and then because I'm using it so much, I HAD to add the Apple Harvest bundle (exclusive this month only), and because it's great for background stamping, I've also used Quiet Meadow.  

I've stamped using Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Soft Sea Foam (you know I love greens!!)  All the die cutting was from the totally GORGEOUS glimmer paper in the Mini Catalogue - I've used the Evening Evergreen and the Vanilla sheets.  So so so pretty.  I've also used one of the Delicate Edge dies for the bottom of my photo mat die cut using the Vanilla glimmer paper.  

Do you see the gorgeous circle detail behind the photo?  I cut a circle out of the white cardboard in our designer paper packs, and used it as a stencil to sponge some Soft Succulent and create the circle detail.  It's so soft in the background and I love it!

The title element was stamped in Evening Evergreen using Splendid Thoughts and then I punched it out with the Decorative Circle punch, and sponged the edges using a blending brush and Soft Succulent.  The journaling labels come from one of the dies in the Apple Blossoms dies - they look great!  

There's lots of background stamping behind all the die cut elements which give the page lovely depth I think!!  What do you think?  Would you like to create a page using this sketch too?  

UP next is our hop is the amazing Cheryl from the UK!!  Enjoy!!

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 amazing Stampin' Up! catalogue.

This week, we are CASEING a Sketch from our Mini Catalogue on page 30.

What a great sketch - and so easy to use.  I'm featuring the exclusive to September Tree Trimmings dies which coordinating with the Trimming the Tree stamp set!  You can buy them as a bundle here and save 10%.  What perfect timing to get started on Christmas cardmaking.  

I'm using Brushed Metallic paper for the trees and the Stitched Rectangle background along with a piece of the awesome Lights Aglow paper.  The greeting is stamped in Black Memento ink and then die cut with one of the great dies from Trimming the Tree bundle. I've also added gold ribbon and Adhesive stars!!  Easy Peasy.

The inside is a repeat of the details on the front.  Simple but elegant I think!!

UP next is the amazing Rebecca who also created a Christmas Card.

Please join in the fun with us and add your project featuring this sketch to our Facebook challenge page here.
