Page 104 of the Catalogue

I have been on such a roll with the Card Giving chapter of the catalogue, that I decided to completely CASE the cards illustrated for the stamp set Something to Say.

I have wanted to make these since I first got this stamp set....

and the coordinating Moonlight Paper Pack goes with the stamps so well...

and the little itty bitty accents punch pack, are just great!!

I love the extra little embellishments of the candy dots, 

and the ribbon, and a staple here and there!!  Great project, thank you Stampin' Up! for sharing with us such creativity to inspire us on every page!!

The Open Sea Collage stamping

I have been volunteering with a small group of school girls to make some cards to give to our church to be used to send from our Care and Concern Group.  Here are some of the cards the girls have created.

And my third CASE the Catty!!

This card hails from page 130 of the catalogue.... and it was a labour of love.... and I do love it!!

I did this card for the challenge at CASEing the catalogue to CASE the chapter on Card Giving

This card is a total CASE except for the staples I used instead of sewing. Oh, and I used cardstock instead of ribbon for the Island Indigo and Pear Pizzaz tied in the middle.  I also used Gorgeous Grunge for the splattering - so much easier!

I will also enter this card into the challenge this week at Just Add Ink - which is to make a Dad card!!  I posted off my Fathers Day card last week, BUT, on the weekend, I then found part of his gift in the cupboard where I stored ages ago!! So, I'm sending him ANOTHER Fathers Day card and gift which will be a huge surprise for him!!  hehehehehe

CASEing the Catty - 2nd card

As I said in my last post, I really got into this challenge and did quite a few cards!!  All for the fun of the challenge too!!  Actually, I'm really loving CASEing the catty - it really helps get the mojo going when I run out of ideas!!  Great idea for a challenge!!  

This card is from page 127, and it looks TOTALLY different to the original!!  

CLICK here to see some more awesome inspiration for this challenge too!!

I've used the new incolours - Lost Lagoon and Blackberry Bliss, with Kinda Eclectic, Good Greetings, and Something to Say for the little flowers.  I changed the opening of the card to make it more like a standard card (working out how to make the effect in the catalogue was too much of a challenge for me!!! teehehee)

CASEing the Catty #8

Over at CASEing the Catty challenge this week, the challenge is on the chapter called Card Giving and there are lots of beautiful projects to inspire and share.  For this challenge I actually did 4 cards, but the first one is this one, which I CASEd from page 108. My card is quite similar although a little smaller (I miscaluclated when I cut my Kraft cardstock, whoops!)  I've used Crushed Curry cardstock and chevron ribbon, some Typeset DSP and black and vanilla cardstock.

My greeting comes from the Good Greetings hostess set, and I've used linen thread to coordinate with the Kraft cardstock.  Oh, and I added a bit of Venetian lace - just because it's sooooo pretty!!

Gift Giving

My daughter and I made these gifts and cards for her to give at a birthday party.  We used the invitation to the party as the starting point - which is the surfboard on the front of Gracie's notebook.

We used colours which coordinated with the surfboard along with my daughters favourite colour - Coastal Cabana!

We made a beach effect with glitter on the 'water' and on the edges of the'sand', and stamped a starfish from By the Seashore.

The last part of the gift was a box made with the new Gift Box punch board and my daughter made some choc chip bikkies and a choc caramel slice to go into the box to complete the gift ensemble.  I think the trio look lovely together and we had a great time creating too!!

CASEing the Catty Challenge - Home Decor chapter

There are only a few pages of the Home Decor chapter for the challenge this week. Check out the design team projects - truly amazing

I used the chalkboard on page 100 for my inspiration and made my first card using the chalkboard technique.

The frame was fun using the Hardwood stamp, and the greeting from From My Heart just looks lovely!!

Just Add Ink Challenge #229

Bright Colours are a HUGE challenge for me.... so the challenge this week at Just Add Ink, with a colourful rainbow inspiration was tricky for me, and I really really needed to look at the design team projects - which are lovely!

I think I will give this card to my niece for her 3rd birthday!!

I was so challenged I tried again, and this card I think I will give to my 6 year old niece for her birthday!!!

Oh my goodness, this was a hard challenge for me!!!!!!!!!

Tiny Treat Boxes

These little cuties are just divine!!  Again, I'm having fun with the packaging!!  These Tiny Treat Boxes are just the best thing for a little pressie with a lot of Pizzazz!!!

I used a mask and sponged lots of teeny tiny white stars on the box, then dressed it up with a ribbon on top, with a cute little tag and star,

and some washi tape around the bottom embellished with some yummy sequins!!

Soooooo gorgeous!!!
