CTC#103 Ronald Macdonald House Stamp Set - My Hero!

Welcome back to another Sunday Night Blog Hop!!  

This week we are CASEING (copy and share everything) from page 209 of the Catalogue - the LAST page - where the feature stamp set is My Hero - the Ronald Macdonald House Charities fundraiser stamp set ..... did you know that Stampin' Up! will donate $3(Australian) with every sale of this lovely stamp set?

The lovely cards illustrated in the image are few in number, but I think the amazing talents and creativity of our design team will inspire you to look again at this great stamp!! There are lots of different and lovely greeting in this set (12 of them actually!!) and they cover a great range of occasions!!  

I've chosen to use the Merry Christmas stamp and CASE the project which features it too.

I've kept the same circle detail for the greeting, but added a scallop layer in gold behind it.  I've used some lovely gold satin ribbon (that was actually lying on my desk waiting to dress up a project!) instead of the flag, and kept the gold glimmer strip over my diagonal stamping and washi tape (which replaces the striped DSP).

Oh, and I've made a card instead of a gift bag!!

Now it's time for you to continue your hop.

CASEing the Catty for Halloween CTC#102

Hello and Welcome to CASEing the Catty this Sunday evening - where we Copy And Selectively Edit projects from our Catalogues for your inspiration and creativity.  

This week we are being inspired by the Halloween Chapter of our Holiday Catalogue - and I've been inspired by this little scarecrow fellow who is totally adorable!!  

And as I don't have that little cutie AND it's my daughter's birthday today - I've completely changed the card BUT kept the same layout featuring some delicious Blooms and Bliss DSP.

And when you embellish the inside of the card, you can use that little piece of DSP sliced off the side - no waste!! What a winner!!

I've paired this lovely paper with Watercolour Wings for the butterfly on the front, and Cottage Greetings for the words.  

     

Now it's time for you to continue your hop onto the next great project we are CASEing from the Halloween chapter!!  And after you've been totally inspired add your project into our gallery for our monthly challenge!!

If you get lost along the way, you can find the complete list of the design team at this link here!!

Stampin' Up! Vintage Leaves and Fall Fun at SUO

Over at SUO (Stampin' Up! Only) Challenges this week, we are enjoying some Fall Fun.

Where I live in Sunny Queensland, we don't experience Fall or Autumn in any way as we are surrounded by tropical trees, Eucalyptus, gum and palm trees.

So, this is as I imagine Fall to look - all those glorious browns and golds and falling leaves - I actually often wear clothes in these colours!!!

I've used the lovely Vintage Leaves, and coloured them softly using the clear Wink of Stella pen to give the leaves body and shine.  I've added some of the wonderful leaves from the Flourish Thinlits and a splatter of the gold Wink of Stella pen for extra interest, and this card is on the way to a dear friend whose mother passed last week.

I hope you're inspired to join in the fun this week as we celebrate Fall Fun.  Just add your link to our blog using the graphic above.
