This week we are taking inspiration from the Bundles listed on pages 155-160 of the new 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. I always make a point of looking at the Bundles pages as you get another sample project and a better look at the coordinating dies and it can be easy to miss things in the body of the catalogue. There are some great new bundles in this year's catalogue, but if you don't have them yet, no problems; CASE-ing is about taking inspiration from the colours, layout, technique or type of product used in a project. It's about what inspires you to create your own project. CTC422_SU_Sample

I love the eyelet border die in the Darling Details Dies that allows you to thread ribbon (or card stock) for the broderie anglaise look, which seems to be making a bit of a comeback in clothes as well. Plus, the two lovely frame dies in the same style, which can be used as is, or cut into pieces for borders or trims under sentiments etc. There are also 22 stamps in the  coordinating Darling Details stamp set, so lots of possibilies .

I started with the Bubble Bath card base and cut the border separately from Bubble Bath cardstock. I threaded two rows of the Sweet Sorbet 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon through the ribbon slot. This ribbon is much closer in colour to Berry Burst, so it works well with Bubble Bath. At the top I added a piece of the Bubble Bath designer paper from the Bright & Beautiful 6" x 6" DSP pack.

I stamped the flowers in Fresh Freesia and Berry Burst ink and added the detail layer with Versamark ink and heat set with white embossing powder. Although not apparent in the photo, it adds another layer of texture to the card. The stamped foliage is in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green and the detailed die cut foliage in Garden Green. Once all the pieces were stamped and die cut it was a matter of layering them as desired. The large Berry Burst flower is popped up on Dimensionals.  I wasn't happy with my original plan for the sentiment and decided to stamp the birthday greeting directly onto the background paper and then added the fussy cut 'friend' at the bottom right.  I finished with 3 Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots as a contrast to the pink.

This week we are taking inspiration from a project in the new 2023-24 Annual Catalogue that uses some of our new colours. We have 11 new core colours in the Colour Collection and I'm thrilled to see some lovely brand new colours and some old favourites returning to freshen everything up.

CTC420_SU_Sample
The Bright & Beautiful Suite Collection on pages 14 and 15 is a bright, fun group of products that is perfect for all kinds of celebratory occasions. It also includes 6 of the new core colours and I chose the project in the photo above for my inspiration.

I have included all the key elements of the sample project, but mixed it up a bit. I started with a portrait tent fold card and added the stars and Berry Burst designs from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper pack to the card base. The fun fringe in Berry Burst was created with a die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies and I wrapped some Bubble Bath sheer ribbon around the top with a knot added separately. The fringe covers the join of the papers, leaving space for the'celebrate' greeting at the base. The die comes from the new Wanted To Say Dies and I have added Foam Adhesive Sheet to the reverse of Gold Foil to create lots of dimension and then adhered it to the shadow.  The 'celebrate' die is very fine, so you need to be super careful releasing it from the frame.

I have cropped 3 balloons from Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst card stock using the die from Beautiful Balloons Dies. The greeting from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set was stamped on the Lemon Lime Twist balloon in black ink. I've cropped another balloon from the new Gold Celebrations Specialty Paper (it is actually window sheet or acetate) that is part of the suite and carefully adhered it to the Blueberry Bushel balloon. If you put tiny dots of Tombow Glue on the reverse side on the streamers and let it go tacky, it will not smear. For the Berry Burst balloon, I've embossed it with the cross-hatch design from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (from Online Exclusives).
