From a Box to a Scrap Page CTC#335

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 a 3D project from our Annual Catalogue.  After loving every bit of the Mini Catalogue, it feels good to be flipping back through our Annual Catalogue!!

Annual Catalogue 21 -22 page33 Images © Stampin' Up!

I've been inspired by this little coffee cup holder on page 33 - I've used the same basic layout and colours and transformed the 3D project into a scrap page.  

Can you see the similarities!!  I've used the lovely symmetrical stems border punch for the edges of my Pear Pizzazz card stock to replicate the stitched border on the original.  

My background stamping comes from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set stamped using Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake cardstock for a tone on tone effect.  I've also flicked some Wink of Stella for a little shimmer.  The punched leaves were also adhered for more background detail.  

The lovely greetings/titles on my page come from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set also.

And I've use a combination of Ornate Frames dies, Tasteful Labels dies and the Label me Lovely punch and the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch for all of the journaling and title details.  

And instead of bakers twine about the lid of the 3D project, I've substituted the gorgeous Gingham ribbon from our Mini Catalogue.  Originally I was totally daunted by this challenge, but in the end I feel like I nailed it!!  And achieved another scrap page for the album!!  Woohoo!! 

Up next is the awesome Michelle and her great CASE.

Fruity Colour INKspiration! #107

Hello And Welcome!!  

This is a amazing challenge focusing on colour and beautiful images.

This week we have this gorgeous fruity inspiration and the Stampin' Up! colours are:

So Saffron, Rich Razzleberry, Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow.

I've used my Stampin' Blends to colour in this gorgeous image from the  Sale-a-bration stamp set Feels Like Home.  This is the first time I've used this set, so I was keen to give it a go!!  

My card is very simple, and the greeting on the front comes from the Sale-a-bration Hostess Set In Your Words.  I've coloured the image in two different ways with the same colours.  I've also used the Bronze and Ivory Stampin' Blends for the plant pots.  

Which is your favourite?  I think I like the Blackberry Bliss door the most.  I've used Rich Razzleberry as my matt behind the image.

Inspiration from Gingerbread CTC#334

Hello and Welcome to our Sunday night Challenge and Blog 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 from the super cute Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite on pages 8 to 15 of our Mini Catalogue.  

I really love the Gingerbread & Peppermint cards and envelopes and this is one of my fun projects!!  I was inspired by the lovely green card at the top right of page 8 of the catalogue.  

I've embossed the background using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and our shimmery embossing paste.  Instead of the vellum banner, I've substituted one of the lovely Wonderful Snowflakes.  I've replicated the same cluster of 3 trees using the fun Pine Tree punch from Gold Foil, Basic White and Kraft cardstock.  All of them were embossed using the Evergreen Forest folder to give them some more detail.    The greeting was stamped from the lovely Happy Holly-Days stamp set and punched from the Lovely Labels punch with a bit of the gorgeous gold ribbon underneath!!

Inside the card I've used the Adorning Design mask with Cinnamon Cider and a blending brush.  I just love the simplicity of these cards and envelopes and have found such fun creating lots of different ideas!  

UP next is the fabulous Sandra.

Hello Spring!!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Tonight I'm sharing a fun project for the G'Day Fri'yay Card Making Challenges!!  

Our theme this week is Hello Spring - perfect timing as we started Spring on 2 days ago!!

Here's our Spring beauty that is opening up this week!!  So gorgeous!!

My card is as different from the gorgeous orchid as you can get!!  It's more like a wild flower field!! 

I'm so in love with the Alcohol and Stampin' Blends technique that I've used it for my background on my z fold card.  I've used Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Bermuda Bay and Shaded Spruce Stampin' Blends.  These were coloured onto vellum, alcohol added and the magic happens!  I've then put the vellum onto Basic White cardstock so the colours are more vibrant.  These were added to my Pear Pizzazz Z fold card.  The front fence of the card was also added to vellum using the Sheep Dies and white cardstock.  

This card features at least 6 sets of dies!!!!  I raided them all for greenery and flowers.  I've used 4 leaves, 2 butterflies and 3 flowers from Dandy Wishes dies; 3 different flower bases from Meadow dies; 4 different sets of greenery from the Forever Flourishing Dies; 5 small flowers from Penned Flowers Dies; 4 flowers from the Pretty Pillow Box Dies and also the fence from the Sheep Dies.  I think that's about 23 different dies..... but I'm not absolutely sure!!  hehehehehehe

The back of my card features some more gorgeous greenery on vellum as well as a small cluster of flowers.  I've even stamped a couple from Artistically Inked stamp set!!  Oh and the greeting on the front came from the Messages die!!  There's another one!!  

Here's a video of how I created the Alcohol background of this card.
