Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Lost Lagoon Christmas Card

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 from a fellow Design Team member! I am CASE-ing Kathryn today. :)

Today is the final CTC for the year and the team will be back in the New Year for some exciting inspiration from the new catalogues. Sadly I have stepped down from the team due to personal commitments, but I may pop in from time to time and play along with them as an avid fan! 


I loved this beautiful Lost Lagoon card that Kathryn created a few weeks ago and I wanted to CASE it for today’s challenge. Instead of the flower that Kathryn used, I made a silver Christmas ornament.





Here's my inspiration image:






Click below to go to Kathryn’s blog and see who she has CASE'd...




Stamp - Cozy Christmas
Ink - Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate
Cardstock - Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, Silver Foil, Silver Glimmer Paper
Tools - Fast Fuse, Big Shot, Glue Dots, Delicate Ornaments Thinlits Die, 2 3/4 circle punch
Accessories - Metallic Silver Doily, Silver Ribbon

I hope you like my project.

Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Delicate Ornaments Thinlit Dies.

Hi

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


I chose the colour palette form the TGIF Challenge this week.....modern festive colours of Pool Party, Whisper White and Real Red.

I made a couple of lovely ornaments from the Delicate Ornaments Thinlit Dies....layering Red Foil over Red Glimmer paper makes a lovely finishing element to a card. :)

I used the Pool Party piece from the Home for Christmas DSP and layered this onto some Pool Party card stock.

The background is embossed with the Elegant Dots Embossing Folder.

Here is our sketch this week:


Here’s the colour palette from TGIF Challenges:




Card recipe

Stamp - Cozy Christmas

Cardstock - Whisper White Thick Cardstock, Pool Party, Home for Christmas DSP, Red Foil, Red Glimmer Paper
