Hello and welcome to the Caseing the Catty challenge. Each week our crew CASE a project from one of the Stampin’ Up! catalogues. This week our Caseing the Catty crew are CASEing projects from the Storybook Moments Suite for CTC506.
This square card with a window to a scene can be found on Page 27 of the catalogue. I have recreated a square card using the Storybook Moments suite and added some of my own touches.
I started with stamping the strawberries in Versamark ink for a watermark effect. Then I die cut a circle to create the window inside to which I added a fussy cut house from the Designer Series Paper.
I added some other fussy cut images and die cuts from the DSP pack to fill in the card. I also added some fussy cut strawberries from the Sale-A-Bration Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper.
If you love the Storybook Moments suite, you will love The Stamping Lounge Storybook Moments Virtual Retreat which is being held on 23rd February. You can still register for our Online content option. Click on the image below to find out more information.
The card base is 5″ square and I added another piece of the Fruit Salad DSP as a matte layer. Within the window a piece of Basic White Cardstock has been embossed with the Painted Trees Embossing Folder. I blended some Basic Beige and Old Olive ink over the embossed to make it blend with the scenery of the house.
A birthday sentiment and some Old Olive Ombre Dots fcomplete this card which is DSP heavy and quite easy to put together. No colouring necessary, Just add some die cuts or fussy cut images from the paper.
I hope you have enjoyed this project. Please joing in this challenge and share your creations in our FB Group. Next on our hop is Michelle Strazds.

Welcome to the Caseing the Catty Challenge blog hop. This week our crew is CASEing projects from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure for challenge CTC505. Everything you see in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue is FREE. You can’t purchase these products BUT you can earn them with every $100 order you make. It’s a great time to shop and get even more value during this promotion which runs through 28th February.
I chose the layout of this card in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue which actually has a fun ribbon technique. Check out that weaving in the background. How cool is that? You can earn the ribbon free with a $100 order. No ribbon weaving for me today but I did follow the sketch on this card.
I chose some new-to-me products to feature on this card including the Mixed Florals bundle and the To the Point Label Punch. Three punched out images from the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper replace the woven ribbon on this card. I love the black and white against the colourful flowers.
The flowers were coloured in Stampin’ Blends with a black leafy die cut adding an elegant contrast behind it. That is such a gorgeous die. If you haven’t seen this suite, make sure you check it out in our Online Exclusives category in the Online Store.
On the base of the card a matte layer embossed with the Painted Plaster 3D Embossing Folder has been blended with Shy Shamrock ink to provided a contrast against the card base of the same colour. This gorgeous embossing folder is also part of the Mixed Media Florals Suite and it adds fabulous texture to a project.
I went with double embellishments on this card which is something I generally don’t do but these 2 coordinated well and the bees look like they are just meant to be there, don’t you think?

Welcome …. again! If you are a regular to my blog, you would have seen that this is my 2nd blog hop this evening. I’m aiming to keep you inspired for the week! It’s the Caseing the Catty Challenge CTC502 and the crew are caseing projects from the Sale-A-Bration or SAB catalogue.
I was inspired to recreate the sunburst look featured on this scrapbook page which is just beautiful in softer colours.
I chose the Bloom Impressions and Wildflower Birthday DSP to recreate the look. Some Coastal Cabana Cardstock was added to break up all the designs in the paper. I embossed it with the Starstruck Embossing Folder. This folder and the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper are Sale-A-Bration offerings which you can get free with a $100 order.
I cut apart strips of paper 3cm in width and the length varied, with the longest being 12cm. Each strip was then cut diagonally to form the triangle.
Then it was just a matter of laying the strips in a design that was pleasing to the eye. I really love how all these designs just came together and look so beautiful set out this way. It’s such a fun way to use up scrap paper too!
A white die cut label brings it all together while hiding the not-so-pretty’ join in the centre.
The flowers and leaves were die cut from Basic White Cardstock and I added the colour with a Blending Brush. The heat embossed sentiment adds a nice pop against the softer colours around it.
As a finishing touch, the flowers were dotted with the Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins which are a SAB product. This is a ‘must-have’ product from the collection. Although it says purple, it is really versatile and has white sequins which can be coloured to suit any project.

Hello and welcome to the first Around the World on Wednesday blog hop for 2025. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who share inspiration on the 2nd Wedneesday of each month. We always have a fun theme which is carefully selected by our leader, Angie Mckenzie. This month it’s a fun This or That challenge. Hmmm, with new products, there are so many ways to interpret this. The choices are as unlimited as your imagination.
I threw ideas around and finally settled on the Wildflower Designer Series Paper as my base product. I just love this paper which comes in a 12″x12″ pack and includes 2 sheets of die cut images which are perfect for layering and adding to your projects as focal points. I’ve combined several products to create my This or That – Balloons or Beach! This could be Pink or Blue, His or Hers, Elegant or…. Bogan (the poor seagulls) Ha! Ha!
In the Wildflower DSP pack, there are a couple of double-sided sheets that are divided into sections with images and tags. I used a couple of tags and trimmed the top section off so I was left with the rectangle.
SALE-A-BRATION
Until 28th February we have our Sale-A-Bration promotion where you can earn a free product with every $100 order. I’ve used some of these products on my projects.
BALLOON CARD
I wanted to create a soft, party style card and incorporated a few different products. The party hat is from the Day to Celebrate Sale-a-Bration stamp set. This is a really fun set and has a good range of images and sentiments which can be used for cardmaking and scrapbooking.
I added some balloons from the Filled with Fun bundle and a cake from the Attention Shoppers bundle because what’s a party without cake, right? The Starstruck Embossing Folder is another of our Sale-A-Bration offerings and adds to the soft feminine look I wanted on this card.
To complete this card I aded the beautiful Gold Open Weave trim and some sequins from the SAB free product range.
BEACH CARD
I can’t help but smile when I see these seagulls and these are a must-have from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. It’s like you can imagine their personalities and they look so naughty – I love it! I loved the stripes tag that gave a masculine feel to this card. Oh I know, I added Linen Thread and gems and that was the end of that but it could definitely be a guy card.
I incorporated several elements from the Beach Days stamp and die set and some die cut coral from the Beauty of the Deep dies to complete the nautical look.
Both these cards follow the tag sketch on Page 12 of the Mini Catalogue, 2nd row, 5th from the left. These sketches are so useful and can be adapted, as I have done, to suit your project.
Which is your favourite – Beach or Ballons? Let me know in the comments.
I hope you have enjoyed the inspiration shared here today. Next on our hop is the lovely Cheryll Miller. Let’s see what she’s been inspired with this month.

Happy New Year! Welcome to our first Caseing the Catty Challenge for 2025. CTC501 challenge is to CASE a project from the upcoming 2025 January – April Mini Catalogue which launches on the 7th of January – just 2 days away!
My creation has been inspired by the layout of a card in the Delightful Wishes Suite on Page 37 of the catalogue. I’ve taken that sketch and added my own spin using the stunning Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper (DSP). This beautiful DSP is part of a larger suite that includes a coordinating stamp and die bundle, ribbon, and embellishments.
When placing my pre-order from the catalogue, I settled on just the Designer Series Paper for my first order. Let me tell you, the bundle is on my shopping list for my next order. The Wildflower Birthday DSP is a 12″ x 12″ pack featuring 2 sheets each of 5 double-sided designs, plus 2 sheets of a single-sided design with pre-printed die cuts. These die cuts made quick work of my focal elements, making this card both beautiful and easy to create!
I enhanced the floral arrangement by adding some extra leaves using the Thoughtful Wishes Dies, cut out from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock and blended with Old Olive ink at the base to resemble the leaves from the DSP.
Adding some white punched out leaves using the Bough Punch kept the fresh look of this card. The leaves were splattered with the Dark Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blend for some texture.
The sentiment is from the new Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack which has greetings for all occasions. There are several sheets of sentiments in Black and White. I cut apart the Happy Birthday to fit with my card design.
Some sequins from the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequin pack coordinates beautifully with the colours. This pack is a freebie during Sale-A-Bration and can be earned with a $100 order. As a finishing touch for this card I punched out some hearts from the DSP using the Humble Home punch and added them to the banner – this made my heart happy!
I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek at some of our new products. My newsletter subscribers will receive a step-by-step tutorial for this card in this week’s email. If you’d like to get exclusive tutorials and inspiration delivered straight to your inbox each week, subscribe to my newsletter here—I’d love to share my crafting journey with you!
