CASE-ing the Catty - Easter Friends

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 buttons at the bottom of the post. 

This week we are CASE-ing an Easter Project. You can see the sample projects in the photo above. 

I've used the sweet treat box in the photo above for my inspiration, but decided to turn it into a baby card instead.

I have taken the layout from the treat box, with the designer paper across the centre and some white showing top and bottom. I've the pretty Fresh Freesia gingham from the Pansy Petals DSP with a little border of a coordinating small print at the top and bottom.  The sweet bunny, my favourite image from the Easter Friends stamp set, was stamped in Basic Gray ink and fussy cut.  I added a little Light Smoky Slate around the shaded areas with a Stampin' Blends marker.

I have a sneak peek of a new product from the 2022-23 Annual Catalogue with the Stylish Shapes Dies. Initally I thought they were stitched dies, but found when I cut the circle, that they are pierced. Included in the set are 6 nesting circles and 5 nesting squares (yay!) and also 4 banners of varying length and width.

I stamped some grass at the bottom of the circle in Just Jade ink and used a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to add a soft background before popping up the bunny over the top. The bunny has a little bouquet of flowers die cut with the (sadly, retiring) Pierced Blooms Dies. The greeting from the Many Messages stamp set was stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink and I used one of the banners from the Stylish Shapes Dies to crop it. I finished with a trio of Brushed Brass Butterflies and a bow at the top in the Glittered Organdy ribbon.

IDEAS Blog Hop - Cards that Move

Hi there

I'm back with the IDEAS (International Demos Exciting Artistic Stampin') team this month to share more fabulous projects. We are a group of international demonstrators who create a Tutorial Bundle each month to give you, our customers and readers a heap of inspiration for your crafting.

If you've come from looking at Elizabeth's fabulous project, 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 IDEAS Team by clicking on the NEXT button at the bottom of the post. 

Our theme this month is Cards that Move. We are talking cards that flap, spin, wiggle, jiggle, pop out, pop up and slide to name just a few.

This bundle contains an amazing 15 tutorials and 65 pages of crafty inspiration. There is a fabulous selection of fun ideas here for your next 'wow' card with many Stampin' Up! products used. 

It's nearly time for Easter so I've created this spring-feel Explosion Box using the super sweet Easter Friends stamp set. This is an easy 'wow' card to make and you can easily adapt it to any seasonal or special occasion.

Pop the lid off and the sides fall open to reveal a sweet basket full of Easter treats. The basket lifts off for sharing and you can write your Easter greeting in the bottom panel. There is still lots of time to create this 'wow' card for someone special this Easter!
