Hi friends, Welcome to this week’s CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge. For CTC494 we are CASEing a sketch from the beautiful Splendid Autumn suite in the Stampin’ Up! September-December Mini Catalogue.
The crew are CASEing the sketch on the Wild Wheat card on the right. Don’t forget to share your cards you create using this sketch, on our FB group.
New product alert!
I got some new goodies this week and I thought I’d use them for the first time on this card. The Happy Hibiscus bundle will be available for purchase on the 5th of November as part of our Online Exclusives range. Demonstrators had the opportunity to purchase this a month earlier in pre-order.
This bundle includes a stamp set and a hybrid die set and embossing folder. It’s simply beautiful.
The stamp set is a two-step stamp set which means that you can stamp the outline and then there is a separate stamp to fill-in the inside with colour. This makes colouring an image very quick. What I found with this particular set was that it was extra easy to line up those images as well.
Now, if you are a colouring enthusiast, like me, you can choose to colour those images as well. However, in this case, I went with stamping. I did add some extra detail on the flowers and the leaves with Watercolour Pencils which adds some lovely highlights.
To form the rectangle part of the sketch, I die cut a label from the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper using the Radiating Stitches dies and trimmed off part of the die cut. Then I layered the flowers and leaves on top of it. The sentiment was die cut with the label die which comes in the bundle and layered on a couple of strips of paper from the same pack.
I embellished my card with some Twisted Gold Thread (another new product you will LOVE) and sequins in multiple colours.
If you would like to order this product on the 5th, you can do so Online or let me know and I can put through an order for you.

Happy Saturday friends! I’ve chosen the Sophisticated Sled bundle to focus on Balmy Blue for this week’s Monochromatic Challenge with with Crafty Collaborations team. Each week we have an Insta Hop and several of us share inspiration using one colour. Visit my Instagram profile to see more.
The Sophisticated Sled bundle has sat permanently on my desk since it arrived a couple of weeks ago. For today’s creation, I wanted to capture the feeling of snow and ice which was inspired by Balmy Blue or in this case ‘ice blue’ for my wintry card.
I began with the stunning snowflake edge border from the Frozen Edges dies. Isn’t it just gorgeous? The intricate detail it brings to the card is simply beautiful. I splattered a little Wink of Stella on the right panel for a subtle shimmer that reminds me of glistening snow. To finish it off, I stamped the sentiment in Pecan Pie ink, adding a touch of warmth against the cool winter palette.
These panels were added to a Balmy Blue matte layer which I blended with Balmy Blue ink on the left side. This showed through darker under the snowflakes and created a contrast against the white.
I kept the sled white and added a Pecan Pie base. Some die cut glimmer garlands were added on top. These were coloured with the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend and it added such a beautiful subtle shading, again creating that look of ice I was wanting.
The skates were die from White Cardstock and coloured with a light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend with the laces and blades die cut from Crumb Cake Cardstock. I added some shading at the bottom of the blades with the dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend. There are 3 dies that form the skates – the main skate, the blades and the laces. This makes it really easy to create the different coloured parts to build up your skates.
I added an Iridescent bow and a bow from Balmy Blue Baker’s twine which created beautiful texture at the top of the sled and gave this card a real festive look. A sprinkling of Drusy Embellishments are perfect for this wintry card.
I hope you you have enjoyed this card and consider adding this beautiful bundle to your next order. A supply list is below and can be ordered from my Online Store or by getting in contact with me. Need help starting out in papercrafting? Please contact me and I’d love to help you.
