Stampin' Up! Australia - CTC 30 - Birthday Bash DSP with Elebration

Hi!

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

This week the Blog Hop challenge is all about CASE-ing a card from page 45 of the Occasions catalogue - the Graduation section. 

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.

The graduation section sorta had me stumped and this card actually went through a number of incarnations that looked more like the original before I had to dump strict CASE-ing in favour of design.

I tried to use some embossed kraft on my card but it wasn't working. I used the strip of Birthday Bash DSP and the embellishments as my main inspiration.

A colleague at work asked me to make a birthday card which was yellow with an Elephant on the front. I think this fits the bill. :) The stamp set is Elebration which is a vintage Stampin' Up! set.

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Perfect Peacock

Hi

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop!

I know that Perfect Peacock has been out for a while, but can you believe this is the first time I have inked it up!

We were set some gorgeous colours for this week's challenge and since they all resided in the Blendabilities spectrum, I decided to use them.

Now, I know that Crushed Curry doesn't have a Blendabilities marker set as such, but I only used the middle and darkest Daffodil Delight markers as they matched Crushed Curry.....so I hope that isn't considered cheating! ;)

You may be thinking I've also added Old Olive or Wild Wasabi, but I achieved my green tones by combining yellow and aqua. 

I mounted my image onto Crushed Curry and then onto a Rich Razzleberry card base.

I hope you like my card. If you have been inspired by it and would like to support my creative business, all the supplies may be found by clicking through the links below which will take you to my store. **note that there are some supply issues with the Blendabilities Markers at present**

Stampin' Up! Australia - CAS(E) This Sketch - Stampin' Up! Boys Will Be Boys

Hi

This card was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch this week. I had been colouring this set a while ago and had this perfect robot just waiting for a card to hop on to! :)

This set is unfortunately named "Boys Will Be Boys"....and given today is International Women's Day...it is cause to reflect on how language and labelling can engender sexism (despite being quite unintentional). You can read my small rant regarding the name of this set here. I do think this set should have been given a name that encompasses both genders....Kids Playground or Building Blocks or something like that.

Anyway...this card is perfect for a boy OR a girl...and who wouldn't want a robot wishing them Happy Birthday!

It is also quite a tactile card given the embossing on the silver foil - very bumpy and fun to touch and look at.

Here is the CTS sketch:
