Lights Aglow is Retiring! CTC#399


Hello and Welcome to our Sunday Night blog hop 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 (CATTY).


This week, we are CASEING our favourite retiring project.  Our Current Mini Catalogue only has another 3 weeks to go, so we are now celebrating all the awesomeness that inspired us in this lovely catalogue.  


I have been having a great time using all the amazing inspiration for the Lights Aglow Suite - the papers, stamps and dies are just wonderful!!  So, I've CASED this gorgeous tag detail from page 3.


I've made a fun book folding card that has an extra page - this is a great way to show off gorgeous papers!!  I've used the lovely Festive Foils specialty paper combined with the stunning Lights Aglow paper (which has already sold out). 


The card base is Cherry Cobbler as is the stamping onto Vanilla cardstock.  My card features both the gorgeous Labels Aglow dies, as well as the Twinkling Lights dies, but I've only used the Brightest Glow stamp set - these all features in the amazing Lights Aglow Suite. 


I've also used the every useful Stylish Shapes for the stitched circle details inside the card.


The Glimmer paper in this suite has been an absolute favourite - and I love the Vanilla sparkle on the die cut snowflakes!


All of the circles for each of the pages of the card, all line up perfectly to give it a great finish! 

Up next is the awesome Michelle!  You'll love her project.  Make sure you keep hopping around everyone too!

Everything is Christmas! CTC#398


Hello and Welcome to our Sunday Night Blog Hop CASEING the CATTY.  


To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues.


This week, we are CASING from the annual catalogue and creating Christmas!!  I've used the Navy card in the centre at the top - I love the 3 panel layout.  


My card features the gorgeous Lights Aglow paper cut into 3 pieces and layered.  I then stamped the greeting and background from the Brightest Glow and Christmas Lights stamp sets using Soft Suede ink.  


The snow flakes come from the Chic dies and are cut from the Brushed Metallic foil.


My card base is vanilla - as a repetition of the colour in the paper.


Inside the card is very similar.  




UP next on our amazing hop is the fabulous Michelle - you'll love her card!

Please join in the fun and add your project onto our page here.  



The paper is on special this month!! Check it out HERE before it all sells out!!

A colour Craft Challenge blog Hop


Hello and Welcome to another fun Craft Challenge Blog Hop with a bunch of amazing international stampers!!  

This time we have an image and colour challenge to share with you.  


This is a gorgeous wintery scene with stunning trees and the colours are lovely!!  


But this was a real challenge for me! So I used some of the fabulous Boughs of Holly designer paper and fussy cut a front layer of trees to create the image.  I also sponged some White ink all over the back layer of trees to try and replicate the snowy image.  


The greeting and extra greenery comes from the Merriest Moments stamp set which is mounted onto a label cut from the Potted Succulents dies (I use these dies so much for the great labels that they have!).  I added some black die cut flowers from the Merriest Frames dies as well.  


I'm not too sure about the Soft Succulent bow, but I thought I needed something to give it the finished touch.  


Inside the card is some more fussy cut trees and simple stamping from the Merriest Moments stamp set.  I just LOVE those dots for fixing any splodges or inky mistakes!!  


Make sure you keep hopping around everyone to see lots of wonderful inspiration!!

Love the Texture Chic paper!! CTC#397


Hello and Welcome to our Sunday Night Blog Hop 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 (catty)


This week, we are CASEING the colours of the Texture Chic paper - which are:  Petal Pink, Mango Melody, Pool Party, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Gold.  


I've loosely CASED the scrap page featuring the cute little girl to create a tent card featuring calendars for next year.  I made a bunch of these for my lovely friends.  


I've used the lovely Texture Chic paper and the coordinating Seasons of Chic stamp set, and then added some texture using the Bough Punch with Mango Melody cardstock, and the Evening Evergreen glimmer paper with the Texture Chic papers.  


The stamping for the greeting panel on the back features a sneak peek for 2 new stamp sets coming in the Mini Catalogue starting 5th January 2023. 


I love the Texture Chic paper and have used so much in my projects this year!!  It works with so many ideas, and the gold foil is just lovely!!  

Make sure you keep hopping - up next is marvellous Michelle!
