CTC 131- at last it's here! Lets go CASEing

Well I'm so excited to be CASEing images and products from the New Catalogue. Welcome to CASEing the Catty this week where we are using the Everyday Occasions Section (p18-65) of the New Catalogue as inspiration. We can use a card layout, colour combination, embellishment or project as a launch pad for our own creation.
Next weekend is my full day Stamping Retreat and Catalogue launch and I have been busy planning and preparing for that ( well in between work and real life etc).

The catalogue really does have a wealth of wonderful  inspiration projects from very simple to quite complex.
This month I need SIMPLE! And what could be more simple than letting the gorgeous papers speak for themselves with a tiny bit of stamping.

When I first saw the "Pick a Pattern DSP" I didn't really give it a second glance, but now that I have it in my collection I'm so glad. It is a really fun suite on pages 40-41. I think it will have a lot of appeal to all ages but especially great for teenagers

 

These are the colours in the pack. Very easy to work with.

I have chosen the sweet card at the top of page 40 to CASE this week. 


Here's the recipe for SIMPLE
  • simple randomly placed tone on tone background stamping with tiny images
  • a large circle of DSP
  • a strip or 2 of contrasting DSP ( scraps are great for this)
  • a stamped sentiment punched out and layered up

Here's the recipe for STEPPED UP (but its' still very simple)
  • simple randomly placed tone on tone background stamping with tiny images
  • add a few extra images in a second colour
  • a large circle of DSP
  • mat the circle onto a nesting circle of card
  • a strip or 2 of contrasting DSP ( scraps are great for this)
  • piece of ribbon looped over and stapled
  • a stamped sentiment punched out
  • mat the sentiment on a nesting circle of card and layer up
Here they are side by side, and the inside also


It was so easy I had to see what some of the other papers looked like from the set.
I'm also going to CASE the pretty pink floral box for another day. Be sure and subscribe to my blog so you'll catch that post too later this week.



Such fun papers. Have you seen some of the other amazing papers that are available?
Here's a fun little peak.But you can get a catalogue from me if you'd like the real thing!


There are so many wonderful inspiration pics in the catalogue, maybe you'd like to be part of the Awesome Team? We are calling for new designers to join the team so be sure and check out the Facebook page for more details.

  7. Lovely cards Liz, its funny how easy it is to miss great little cards in some of the catalogue images. Your collection also shows how different cards can look just by changing up the colours and DSP.

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car...
