Caseing the Catty CTC506 – Storybook Moments Suite

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.

Caseing the Catty CTC501 – 2025 Jan-April Mini Catalogue

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.

CASEing the Catty CTC478 – Masking Project

Hello friends, This week in our CASEing the Catty Crew blog hop for CTC478 we are CASEing a masking project from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. You can find a range of these projects suggested on Pages 124-125.

I chose a technique of using Masking Paper to mask of areas of my cardstock and then blend colour onto it. You can see an example of this in the catalogue with the butterfly project where the colour has been brayered on. However, for my project I blended the colours.

I cut 1 cm strips of Masking Paper and adhered it diagonally across a piece of Cardstock to form a pattern. Then I blended Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry across the sheet.

TIP: As the Masking Paper is very sticky, before placing it onto the Cardstock, apply it to your clothing to reduce the stickiness. This will help when you need to peel it off the Cardstock.

Once the ink had dried (you can use your heat tool to speed up the process), I stamped the Leaf Collection background stamp in Versamark and heat embossed it in Clear embossing powder. This created a beautiful, subtle image across the blending. I also splattered some dots with a Black Stampin’ Blend.

The label under the sentiment was die cut from Fluid 100 Cardstock on which I watercoloured Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Basic Gray ink to tie in with the background.

Those little flowers were all die cut in one go with the you-beaut die that’s in the Flowers of Beauty dies. There’s one strip that cuts 8 flowers in one pass. Before I die cut the flowers, I dabbed on some Crushed Curry ink with a Blending Brush onto the Pretty in Pink Cardstock to give the flowers some shading.

I trimmed down the length of the card base to better fit the size of the Radiating Stiches dies for A4 Cardstock, with a finished card front of 10.5 cm x 13.9 cm.

Our Bonus Days promotion runs until 31st July. Every $90 you spend in store will earn you a $9 coupon which you can redeem in August. Shopping List for this project can be found at the end of this post.

It’s been lovely having you stop by my blog and I hope to see you back soon.

Next on our hop is Michelle Strazds. Please follow the hop for lots more inspiration.

    New at SU Blog Hop – Sketch Challenge with Flower Cart Stamp Set

    New at SU 2024 Header

    Hello and welcome to the New at SU blog hop for June. Our team is sharing inspiration using the sketches from Page 22 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. Have you seen these sketches? A new addition to our catalogue, there’s 22 sketches to inspire your creativity and each one can be interpreted in so many ways.

    I’ve chosen this sketch to work with today using the Flower Cart stamp set and coordinating dies.

    It’s a chilly winter’s day here in Melbourne and my card is far removed from the reality of the weather with a beautiful spring feel to it. The stamps and dies have several elements which you can use to crreate all variations of the flower cart – both stamped and pieced together with die cuts. I went for a mix, stamping the tray in Basic Beige and distressing the edges with some Crumb Cake ink. Then I added the die cut awning over it.

    The wheels and the stand of the cart were die cut from Basic White Cardstock. I blended Crumb Cake ink over the images and stamped the tree ring image from the Textured Timber stamp set over it in Pecan Pie ink to create the wood texture.

    I added colour to the stamp directly with a sponge dauber for the different coloured flowers. Then I added some extra shading with a Watercolour Pencil to fill in the white space around the leaves.

    The 2 narrow strips on the sketch were swapped out with the flower cart and some die cuts from the Perennial Postage dies. I stamped the pebbled path onto the ribbon for an extra detail to complete that little corner, along with a sign hand written using a White Gel Pen.

    I hope this inspires you to use these sketches as you create. Please follow our hop through for lots of inspiration using several of these sketches.

    Simply Zinnia Birthday Card – Colour Palette #53

    Welcome to a new week and today I’ve got a card to share with you using the beautiful Simply Zinnia bundle. This bundle is part of a suite of products which includes a Stamp Set, dies, Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folder and Embellishments. The DSP which is part of this suite is bright and I wanted to give this bundle a soft look by using some subtle colours using Colour Palette #53.

    To begin with, I stamped the floral image in Basic Gray instead of Tuxedo Black as it provided a softer outline.The flowers were then coloured in with Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. For the leaves I used Lost Lagoon and added some Petal Pink inbetween. Leaves don’t always have to be the regular green and I just loved how these turned out.

    I added the image to 2 labels die cut from the Unbounded Love Dies. I layered this onto a die cut from the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper which was cut down to the size I needed. This paper had just the right colours to fit in with this project.

    I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray as well and layered it onto Flirty Flamingo Cardstock. This coordinated well with those beautiful Flirty Flamingo Dots for Days embellishments.

    Don’t miss out on getting the Simply Zinnia bundle at the discounted price of $81.50 during our Stamp & Die bundle sale which is on until 30th June. You can also save 10% on all our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines.

    Have a great week ahead.
