#CTC289 CASEing The Catty Sunday

Hi everyone,

You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment.

I chose to CASE the card below.

Below is my example.

I created this card using Whisper White and BalmyBlue card stock. I used Free As A Bird Stamp Set with the Tuxedo Black Memento Stamp Pad. I like less on a card. I think less can quite often create an elegant card, such as this one. This already be given to my best friend and her husband,

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos. Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards. If you are a bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote.

The current Annual Catalogue is available on this blog. If you would like a Catalogue posted to you, it will cost $9-00. That can be deducted from the next order.

If you like this blog, and like learning a little about our family traditions or our lives while I inform you about the makings of the cards or quilts that I make, can you indicate by following me, (on the right hand side). Blogging is something new and I am still trying to get a handle on it.

Free as a Bird

Hi everyone,

I made this card up for class. As usual I messaged my mum and our daughter to ask their opinion. Her response was ‘too yellow.’ So I went to the drawing board or work table again and came up the card below.

The first card was created using Old Olive, Whisper White and So Saffron Cardstock. I used Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. Olive Olive, Crumb cake and So Saffron Blends were used to colour the birds. The sentiment came from a retired stamp Picture Perfect, I think.

I have a container of sentiments stamps and cut. All those little strips of leftover Whisper White, I stamped and stamped and stamped. No little bits left. However, I have a container of diferent sentiments that can be used on different cards. I will do the same for the coloured Cardstock leftovers too. Just think of gold or silver sentiments of black. That will be stunning, and to think I’ll have a supply of them ready. It is amazing how excited we can get over a container of little bits of cardstock.

All of the products used in this card can be purchased from Stampin Up. If you live in Australia and you would like to place an order over $250-00 (before shipping) you will receive 10% in Stampin Up Rewards. Click here to place your order.
