CASE-ing the Catty - Last Week of Sale-a-bration!
February 23, 2025
Hi there
Welcome to CASE-ing the Catty for this week.
If you've come from visiting Peta & Marvi, then welcome! If you're visiting me, I appreciate you stopping by today! You can continue your journey to see the other inspiring creations from the CTC Crew by clicking on the button at the bottom of the post.
It is the final week of the Sale-a-Bration promotion, so this week we are taking inspiration from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure. There is still time to earn your favourite FREE product with a qualifying order of $100 AUD or more before shipping.
The Corner In Bloom stamp set was one of the first products I chose from the Sale-a-bration options as the images are perfect for embellishing the inside of cards, which I love to do. I chose the project in the photo above for my inspiration as the largest of the corner images has so many possibilities for embellishing cards and scrapbook pages. The sample shows how it can be used to embellish a framed photograph, which is a lovely idea.
I started by stamping the image twice with Early Espresso ink on Basic White and used Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers to colour it. Did you know that you can use any of the Stampin' Up! inks to stamp images for colouring with alcohol markers? I find Early Espresso less harsh for images that will be coloured in softer colours, although you could go lighter still to something like Pebbled Path. When the images were finished I fussy cut them.
I wanted the flowers to form a complete frame, so I let that dictate the size the card would be. I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card stock with the NEW Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder that will be available to customers in the next drop of Online Exclusives on 4th March. You do need to allow for some shrinkage with this design so add a little extra in your cutting measurements. I layered that onto a Basic White mat and then onto the Fresh Freesia card base. I popped up the flowers on Dimensionals for a floating effect and adhered the fussy cut greeting from the Kindest Expressions stamp set flat. I finished with a trio of gold sequins from the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
I have a white writing panel on the inside and the greeting from the retired Framed Florets stamp set stamped in Early Espresso ink. In the bottom corner I have a fussy cut section from the large floral image.
This angle gives a great perspective of the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder.
