It's the last chapter for CTC#200

Hello and Welcome to our Sunday Night Blog Hop and Challenge.

We are the CASEING the CATTY team, and we like to challenge you to use the Stampin' Up! catalogues as inspiration to create your own projects as you Copy And Selectively Edit, or Copy And Share Everything from the Catalogues.  

This week, we are CASEING from the Toil and Trouble chapter of the 

Holiday Catalogue which is pages 48 - 55.

My inspiration this week comes from page 54 which features the Hostess Stamp Sets available in this catalogue.  I've CASED the gorgeous Thanks card from the top centre, and also the New Year card from the bottom right.  

I've changed the colours to Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay for my birthday card.  I've also used a NEW product that will be available to you in November!!  It's a gorgeous bunch of products from the Snowflake Showcase.  There are 2 stamp sets, a set of thinlits, some trinkets and some fabulous White Velvet  12" x 12" sheets of paper.  My card features some of the Snowfall Thinlit dies which have been paired with silver foil and some of the White Velvet Paper.  I coloured the White Velvet with Bermuda Bay and Pool Party Stampin' Blends to give it some multicoloured interest.  

The Happy Birthday comes from the Perennial Birthday stamp set, along with the Happy from the Merry Christmas thinlits. There's a little stamping from the Snow is Glistening stamp set (one of the new ones available in November!!)

My second card was inspired by the card on the bottom right.  I've Silver heat embossed one of the lovely greetings from Snow is Glistening and then used my aqua painter and navy ink to create a background wash.  I've then stamped over the top with those cute snowflakes again, and also on the base card.

My final addition was some of the Snowflake Thinlit dies cut out from the White Velvet Sheets.  

When I look at my card now, I kind of wished I'd stamped the greeting in Night of Navy rather than the Silver embossing - it seems to be a bit lost in the background wash.  

Up next is the amazingly talented Judy with some inspiration from the last chapter of our Holiday Catalogue.

We would love to have you join in the challenge with us too!  It's easy to add your project to our lineup on our facebook challenge page!!

Until Next Time,

Happy Stamping,

Love Julia   x

Our New Incolours feature in Colour INKspiration #43

Hello and Welcome to another fun Colour Challenge with Colour INKspirations.

This time we are featuring the fun new bright In Colours which are:  Pineapple Punch, Lovely LIpstick, Grapefruit Grove, Call Me Clover, Blueberry Bushel.

My choice for these colours is  Call Me Clover, Pineapple Punch and Blueberry Bushel and I have featured them with the lovely Wishing You Well stamp set which is another of those amazing DistINKtive stamp sets which have a variation in tones on the same stamped image, which I really love!!

I have highlighted my stamped image by popping it inside an embossed detail using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the great embossing mats - these mats give you so many more options for you to get more versatility from your  Big Shot dies.    I love the lovely subtle effect with this technique.

These colours are so bright and fun but I love how all this white space really makes the colours go quieter! 

Up Next is the lovely pocket card from Bronwyn.




 We love it when you join in the fun of our challenges with us.  It's easy to add your projects to our facebook page!

Showcasing some Christmas gorgeousness with SUO Challenges.

Hello and Welcome to SUO Challenges.

We love to challenge you to create using ONLY our awesome Stampin' Up!  products, and this time the challenge is to be inspired by the Christmas Offerings in the Holiday Catalogue.

I've just loved loved loved using these totally gorgeous Gold Foil Edged Cards and Envelopes. 

Here I've created a very simple card by using some of the divine All is Bright DSP paired with the super cute stamp set Christmas Traditions and the coordinating Christmas Traditions Punch.  

My other favourite product from the fantastic lineup of Christmas goodies in the Holiday Catalogue is the totally versatile Sprig Punch.  It really adds an extra bit of gorgeousness to any card!  My final embellishment was to colour some rhinestones using our Stampin' Blends!!  You can have rhinestones in any colour you wish!!
