CASE-ing the Catty - CASE a Layout
November 10, 2019
Hi there
Welcome to another week of CASE-ing the Catty!
If you've come from looking at the lovely project on Siobhan's blog, 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 buttons at the bottom of the post.
This week, we're CASE-ing a layout from page 22 of the Holiday Catalogue.
There are 4 great layouts on page 22 and I chose the card on the bottom left of the photo above, with the cute elves.
I started with a Real Red card base and added the pretty Coastal Cabana design from the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper. I had some stamped images of Santa from the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set on my craft desk and thought it would work well with this layout. I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to crop the coloured image and added a narrow border of the red striped designer paper on either side to add some pop. I die cut the cute stars from the Christmas Layers Dies in Sparkle Glimmer and placed them under the image on the left and a single star at the bottom on the right. The greeting from the Dashing Deer stamp set was stamped in Real Red, masking the first line and then cropped with the smallest of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
I coloured Santa with Stampin' Blends and used a glue pen to add Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the trim on his suit. I've paper pieced the sack with Coastal Cabana gingham in keeping with the colour palette.
For the inside, I have a Coastal Cabana mat for my writing panel and the striped designer paper at the base. The greeting from the Dashing Deer stamp set was stamped in Real Red and I finished with 2 coloured and fussy cut gift boxes in the corner.

Beautiful colouring - your Santa looks magnificent. I love the paper pieced ginham bag - such a lovely subtle detail. And the addition of the striped DSP makes all the difference, an excellent finishing touch. What a festive, fun card, Judy!

Your card is so sweet, Judy. The Santa really is so chubby and jolly! I Ove this colour combo for Christmas cards, it's so fresh and modern.

What a great Christmas card. All of the elements work so well together but I particularly love the Christmas Layers Die that you’ve added on top of the DSP.
