CASE-ing the Catty - A Little Bit Festive

Hi there

Welcome to CASE-ing the Catty for this week. 

If you've come from visiting Michelle, 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. 

This week we are CASE-ing from the new Mix & Match pages in the 2024 September-December Mini Catalogue. These products are designed to make creating super easy with printed card bases or tags, pre-cut images and sentiments that you mix and match to create your cards and tags.

At the moment I only have the Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, so I have created my card with the A Little Bit Festive 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper. This pack has 6 sheets of patterned paper (1 sheet each of 3 double-sided designs) and 1 each of 3 single-sided printed die-cut images that you pop-out in a very similiar style to the Mix & Match range. The main difference is that you have coordinating patterned paper to use with your die cuts. 

I had this pre-cut card base waiting to be used, so it contributed to the design. The Basic White card base has a piece cut from the top edge and I cut another piece of Basic White the same size and dry embossed it with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhered it for the background. 

I chose the wreath and the candy canes from the printed pre-cut images and I popped the wreath up on 1mm foam pads to give it a little dimension and then popped up the candy canes on Dimensionals to achieve another level, which you can see in the pic above.  I popped up the greeting from the 
Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemera Pack under the wreath and added a strip of the red and white stripe design from the A Little Bit Festive Specialty DSP pack at the bottom to tie it all together. To add some sparkle, I popped the (retired) Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels over the berries that were not covered by the candy canes. It was an 'all or nothing' choice as it looked strange with just a few. You can also colour the clear 

For the inside, I had the border which continues a little further and I added a narrow strip of Granny Apple Green card stock to top it.  The cute stack of presents in coordinating colours also from the A Little Bit Festive SDSP sheets of die cut designs was added to the bottom corner.

I hope you will give the A Little Bit Festive Specialty DSP or the Mix & Match Ephemera packs a try for your holiday projects this season. I'm sure you will find them a quick and easy solution.

Fabulous card Judy! I love the Reds and Greens against the Basic White cardstock. Really gives that festive feel. The Red Rhinestones on the wreath are a beautiful touch and look super pretty. Thanks for sharing! Rochelle xo
