Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Papillon Potpourri - CASE-ing The Catty

Hi

At CASE-ing the Catty this week, we are exploring the Card Giving chapter of the catalogue. 

CASE - The acronym stands for COPY AND SHARE EVERYTHING. The latest Stampin' Up! ® Catalogue certainly encourages crafters to do just that as it is jam packed with amazing, inspirational projects.

The idea is to feature a section of the Stampin' Up! ® catalogue each week using the projects in the catty as inspiration.

You can directly CASE (Copy and Share Everything) or use a sketch/layout, colour combo, embellishment, just to name a few examples, as a springboard for your own creations.


Here's a Badge to paste to your blog:

Guidelines

•   Create a new project for the current challenge (no back linking)

• Mention CTC Challenges in your blog post and link back to the challenge blog so others can join in on the fun.

• Let us know what project you CASED and make reference to the page of your country's catalogue where you got your inspiration. 

• SUO products (retired or current) may be used in your projects for CTC Challenges. 

So let's go!

For my card I chose to CASE the card from page 139 of the Annual Catalogue:

I changed the Kraft base to a Whisper White base (of course!!) and kept the idea of a butterfly on a flower over banners. I didn't embellish as much as the original, but what I WAS inspired by was the curvy sentiment. I don't have a curved sentiment so I thought I would make my own. 

Yes, you know you can make your own curved sentiments....that's the beauty of photopolymer stamps...they are pliable and bendy on an acrylic block. I got the sentiment BE YOU{TIFUL} from the Flower Patch stamp set and stuck it down so it curved on my acrylic block, stamped it in Versamark, heat embossed with gold, then cut around it in a banner shape. COOL HUH!? :)

Oh, and the Rhinestone is coloured with the lightest shade of the Old Olive Blendabilities set....it matches Pistachio Pudding perfectly! 

Hope you give this a go. It is fun!

If you like my card and want to re-create it at home, you can buy all these supplies at my online store.

Cheers
