Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Gift Box Punch Board

Hi!

Welcome to this week's CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop! Welcome from Stasia’s blog.

This week the Blog Hop challenge is all about CASE-ing a 3D gift project inspired by the  Stampin' Up! Holiday catalogue.

CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything.  This whole blog hop is about using the current Stampin' Up! Catalogues to help you create.  Sometimes crafters need a springboard to just get started and the catalogues are certainly a demonstrator or customer's best resource.




I’m not sure about the Mossy Meadow ribbon...I should have gone for something silky or satin I think. 

Anyway...the box was fun to make and it looks great with the holly stamp from Embellished Ornaments on it. :)

Here's my inspiration image:

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Wondrous Wreath Thanksgiving card

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.


I used the colour palette from ColourQ and quite liked the idea of exploring non-traditional Thanksgiving colours.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia so I only have the one Thanksgiving greeting which is unfortunately retired, but Wondrous Wreath (a current set) makes for a lovely Thanksgiving statement and I think it works beautifully in these colours. :)

I do have several American friends who celebrate Thanksgiving so this card will be going to one of them. :)

Here is our sketch....



Here are the colours from Colour Q...




Card recipe

Stamp - Wondrous Wreath, Day of Gratitude
Ink - Rich Razzleberry, Wisteria Wonder, Tangerine Tango, Soft Sky 
Cardstock - Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry
Tools - Stampin' Trimmer, Stampin' Dimensionals, SNAIL, Glue Dots, Big Shot, 
Wonderful Wreath Framelit Dies, Precision Plate
Accessories - Metal Rimmed Pearls

I hope you will join in and create a card with us.....and please feel free to leave me and the other CCMC participants some comments! :)

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! No Bones About It - Dinosaur Birthday card

Hi!

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from Amanda's blog!


I decided to return to my usual CAS (clean & simple) style this week.....the colours are bold enough to stand alone beautifully next to stark white and for a kids card sometimes simple bright design works best.

One stamp set. One sheet of card stock. 4 colours. Easy!

Here are our colours for this week....




I played along with CASE This Sketch last week and then I completely forgot to link up...so I'm having another go this week! I flipped the sentiment line with the image line...I like the balance of this sketch so much! Congratulations on 150 sketches CTS!! :)



To follow the blog hop, just click the arrows below.
Stamp - No Bones About it
Ink - Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Tangelo Twist, Cajun Craze
Cardstock - Whisper White, Whisper White C5 envelope
Tools - Stampin' Trimmer, Dimensionals

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Embellished Ornament

Hi!

Welcome to this week's CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop! Welcome from Rachel's blog.

This week the Blog Hop challenge is all about CASE-ing a project inspired by the Season of Cheer projects from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalogue.

CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything.  This whole blog hop is about using the current Stampin' Up! Catalogues to help you create.  Sometimes crafters need a springboard to just get started and the catalogues are certainly a demonstrator or customer's best resource.




I don't have the Season of Cheer products so I thought I would do a similar card using Embellished Ornaments and a couple of other things. 

1. My 'snow' was stamped with the circle image from Watercolour Wings in Lost Lagoon

2. My Pear Pizzazz DSP is from my scraps pile from a retired paper stack

3. I used Lost Lagoon washi tape from the 2014-2016 In Color pack. 

4. SNEAK PEEK....look closely at the holly....no, that's not a blender pen...it is Wink of Stella Clear.....stay tuned for the Occasions catalogue....just sayin'. :)

5. The greeting is from the Expressions Natural Elements pack and the stamped greeting is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments in Mossy Meadow. 

6. The card stock is Naturals White....to give some texture. 

Here's my inspiration image:

Stamp - Embellished Ornaments, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Ink - Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon, Real Red
Cardstock - Pear Pizzazz, Naturals White, Pear Pizzazz DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper
Tools  - Stampin' Trimmer, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot, Delicate Ornaments Thinlit Dies

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Gift Bag Punch Board

Hi!

You may remember this card from a week ago. I made it for my son's little classmate who is celebrating a birthday.

I bought a cute little gift and I wanted to make a matching gift bag. As usual Stampin' Up! make this ever so easy and have the perfect crafting tool to make different sized gift bags. The decoration is up to you! :)


I made my gift bag from the Mint Macaron Envelope Paper - very easy to score and fold! I decorated with some silver ribbon and some off-cuts of Designer Series Paper in Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride and Pink Pirouette. I held the bag shut with a silver clothespin. :)

Here's a cool video showcasing the Gift Bag Punch Board....watch it....it's so easy to use! 





Gift Bag recipe
Cardstock - Mint Macaron Envelope Paper, Designer Series Paper scraps
Tools - Gift Bag Punch Board
Accessories - 1/8 Silver Ribbon, Mini Metallic Clothespin, Triple Banner Punch



I hope you like my project
