CASEing the Catty Challenge CTC481 – Page 25 Sketch

Hello friends, Welcome to our CASEing the Catty Challenge and this week we are CASEing this fun sketch which is on Page 25 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

I’ve created a Christmas card using the Golden Greenery bundle which is part of our Online Exclusives collection.

The suite this bundle is part of includes some beautiful Designer Series Paper which is in tones of green and I wanted to give this card a slightly softer look by changing the colours. Of course, I went with pink!

I created 2 square frames using the Stylish Shapes dies and added a piece of Graceful Greenery Vellum behind it. I love how the Vellum adds that softness while still being able to see the Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Paper behind it. From 6th – 31st August you can get this paper and several others on sale at 15% discount so make sure to hop back and check that out.

The outline of the bells were stamped in Petunia Pop, stamped off and the main image was stamped in Pretty in Pink, stamped off. I added detail onto the bells with Watercolour Pencils. I die cut some leaves from Basic White Cardstock and blended a range of colours to add some shading to them, trimming them down so they fit around they bells.

A trio of white flowers, coloured with Bubble Bath and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends, layered together, created the flower which is on top of a bow which was also made from Bright & Beautiful DSP.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this alternate take with this bundle. Let me know what you think of it by leaving me a comment. I love hearing from you.

Monochromatic Pretty Peacock – Flowers of Beauty

What’s your feeling about Pretty Peacock? Well, I’ll share with you my experience with this colour which is part of our Regals collection and one that we are highlighting for our Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop this week.

Back in 2019, Pretty Peacock came in as one of our 5 new In-Colors for the 2019-2021 range. During that time I had a bit of trouble warming up to this colour and was quite pleased when it’s tenure came to an end! However, it seems like I was in the minority because it returned last year as one of our core colours.

It’s funny how over time one’s tastes and styles can change. I don’t mind Pretty Peacock now and these monochromatic challenges are definitely getting me creating with colours out of my comfort zone.

So for my card today the first element that came together was the 3D flowers.

3D FLOWERS

To create each one, I die cut 3 of the flower shapes from Vellum using the Flowers of Beauty dies. I used the Graceful Greenery Vellum which is in our Online Exclusives range.

Then I coloured each one with Pretty Peacock ink using a Water Painter. Once dry, I went around the edges with a Bone Folder and pushed in the centre with the Bone Folder on a Piercing Mat. This curved the edges up. Then I glued the 3 die cuts together to form the flower.

For added texture I embossed the postage die with one of the Flowers of Beauty dies which formed a beautiful impression on the Cardstock.

Some Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems finish this card off along with a simple sentiment from the Charming Duck Pond stamp set.

You too can create this card with the products listed below. Shop for them in my Online Store or contact me to place your order and have it delivered anywhere in Australia.

I’ve got a fun card using the This Birthday Piggy bundle for Day 16 of the Sketchtember Challenge. The dies in this bundle are part of the Stampin’ Up! Perfect Partners promotion and are only available while supplies last until 30th September. You will want to get these dies because they have some cute add ons to enhance your piggy images.

I was going for a fun look on this card and the Design a Daydream DSP provided the diffrent patterns to create the effect. This paper is a Host offering and you have the option to choose this with Stampin’ Rewards when your order is over $250 or your party sales reach $250.

I coloured the piggy image with Stampin’ Blends and added it to a Vellum die cut circle. Vellum provides a subtle contrast layer against the patterned DSP while not completely covering it.

Awash with Beauty Anniversary Card for #fms548

When it comes to a bit of fussy cutting, I’m up for the challenge. As soon as I saw this bouquet in the Awash with Beauty Designer Series Paper, it cried out to be fussy cut. So with my Paper Snips I took to creating this focal image for my card inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

I used some Crumb Cake Cardstock scraps I had to create a border along the DSP panel.

I die cut some Vellum stems and coloured the back with an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend along with some die cut Mossy Meadow berries.

A heat embossed sentiment from the Ringed with Nature stamp set on Merry Merlot adds a nice contrast against the flowers. When you purchase the Ringed with Nature bundle you will automatically qualify for a free product from our Sale-A-Bration promotion.

To coordinate with the natural look of the Crumb Cake Cardstock I added some Linen Thread which I wrapped around my fingers 3 times to create a loop and tucked in under the bouquet with some Tear n’ Tape adhesive.

One of a Kind Snowflakes

Day 10 of Martin’s Mayhem #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge is a sketch challenge. I drew inspiration from the snowflake picture on the sketch itself to create my card. We all know each snowflake is unique and my snowflakes today are one of a kind because they are Rainbow Glimmer snowflakes.

The Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper provided my background for this card. I used a sponge dauber to highlight the raised areas of the paper with Seaside Spray. This gave a subtle hint of colour to this beautiful paper.

I die cut a couple of snowflake clusters from Rainbow Glimmer paper and cut them apart to work with the sketch.

The sentiment was mounted on a frame from the Stitched so Sweetly dies. I embossed this with the Seabed embossing folder as I love the detail on this.

A few sequins add a bit of extra shine to this card to balance with the softness of the vellum background.
