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:

Stampin' Up! Australia - CASE-ing The Catty - Bright & Beautiful Santa & Co Washi Tape - Christmas Card

Hi

At CASE-ing the Catty this week, we are exploring a Colour Challenge inspired by the Santa & Co Washi Tape from the new Holiday Catalogue. The colours are Basic Black, Marina Mist, Real Red and Old Olive

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. 
    • Only Stampin' Up! products (retired or current) may be used in your projects for CTC Challenges. 
    So let's go!


    I was quite literal with my interpretation of the challenge and used the Santa & Co Washi Tape to full effect on my card.

    I stamped my greeting from Bright & Beautiful onto Whisper White and die cut with an Oval Framelit. The base whisper white layer was de-bossed with the Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

    I decided that it needed some bling and the sequins from the new Hello December Project Life Accessories Kit fit the colours perfectly!! They are so sparkly and gorgeous.

    I recently got the Envelope Liners Framelits Dies so I took my envelope that extra step and put some Marina Mist DSP in to line it.

    Hope you like my card! All the supplies are below....this would be super easy to recreate as bulk Christmas Card project. :)

    Come and play with us at CTC this fortnight!!

    Cheers

    Stampin' Up! Australia - CASEing The Catty - Stampin' Up! Nordic Noel Santa

    Hi

    At CASE-ing the Catty this week, we are exploring the various Christmas Cards of the new Holiday 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.

      So let's go!

      I decided to CASE the "Get Your Santa On" card on on page 30 of the Holiday Catalogue.

      Here's what I made:


      Isn't he cute!!!?

      Rather than a Sahara Sand base layer I layered my card onto Whisper White with a mat of Garden Green. The DSP is from Nordic Noel - a fun patterned paper pack from the 2014 Holiday Catalogue. The Nordic Designer button and Real Red Satin Woven Ribbon are also from the Holiday Catalogue. 

      I rounded the top left and right corners of my DSP and Santa layer with the Project Life Corner Rounder Punch. 

      Santa from "Get Your Santa On" is coloured with Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities, Smoky Slate Blendabilities and the Skin Tone Assortment Blendabilities. I coloured his cheeks with the 'Naturals' marker and his face with the 'Nude' marker. 

      You can't see it in the photo, but I put some Dazzling Details sparkle on the pom-pom on his hat for some added bling. :)

      I hope you like my card, and please play with us at CASEing the Catty.....get ahead on those Christmas Cards! :)

      All the supplies and links to my online store are below. :)
