CASE the Catalogue Christmas Christmas Gleaming

Merry Christmas & Be Jolly This Season (Christmas Gleaming)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card features items from the Brightly Gleaming suite. I have CASEd another of my favourite cards from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue. This card pretty much sold me on the suite (not that I needed much convincing as it is gorgeous!). I love everything about it.

The card looks pretty fancy but it really is simple to make. There are a few steps but it isn’t too time-consuming. I coloured the holly leaves and berries with Stampin’ Blends. After cutting them out I used my new favourite technique of applying some Wink of Stella to the berries and then covering them with a coat of the Shimmery Crystal Effects. Such a pretty finish!

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t it pretty?! I love the small strip of patterned paper across the embossed foil paper. It looks so good. Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? I haven’t but Christmas is rapidly approaching so I am thinking I should start soon. Then again, I always say that. 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Sailing Home

Set Sail in the Direction of your Dreams (Sailing Home / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card is not my favourite card ever – let’s just put that out there. You may be wondering why I am sharing it with you when I really don’t think it is that great? There’s a couple of reasons why. Firstly, I want to remind you that not everything you make will be awesome in your eyes. It might, however, be awesome in the eyes of the recipient. Secondly, this card was CASEd and the original is AMAZING! I tried to copy it exactly but didn’t have the same supplies. Thirdly, this card does actually have a couple of cool features.

Let’s take a closer look. I used the Sailing Home stamp set and coordinating Smooth Sailing die set. It’s fun for masculine cards. This card is smaller than my usual at 10cm x 9.5cm. When you create the same size all the time, it can be a little challenging when you try other sizes.

The card sample used the awesome Embossing Paste but I didn’t have any. So, I thought what I could do was sponge through the Pattern Party Decorative Mask with Whisper White ink. Sounds good in principle. In reality, the white blended with the sky I had sponged (in Pacific Point) and as a result, I have the appearance of greenish clouds. It’s not a disaster but it isn’t ideal. It might have been better had I used white embossing powder over the top but at the time this didn’t cross my mind.

You might note I have three boats and two are going one way and one the other, it is really easy to do this. You will need your silicone mat. Simple stamp the boat onto the Silicone Craft Sheet and then position your cardstock over the stamped image. Press firmly and cover the entire area. Be very careful not to move the paper or it will smudge. I then held the paper up to the light and positioned the die cut over it from behind so I could die cut in reverse. So easy, really!

It’s a bit hard to see in the photograph but I used a touch of white ink on some of the crests of water created by the High Seas 3D Embossing folder. This helps create a little extra interest.

Here’s the Card…

So, what’s next? I think it would be fun to try this card again but this time – do it in MY style! That’s what I would love to encourage you to do. CASE away – that’s fine (and as close to the original as you like), but then switch it up and do it YOUR way! You CAN do it!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Free As A Bird Happy Birthday Itty Bitty Greetings

Your friendship means the world to me (Free As A Bird)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Free As A Bird stamp set remains one of my favourites at the moment. I really love colouring the images and playing around with different colour combinations. I was flicking through the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue and saw a card example (page 190) which looked so good I had to CASE it (Copy And Share Everything). The designer had stamped directly on to the front of the card base and then cut around the top of the image. In the example, the designer had used an embossing folder to create the background. In the two examples I am sharing today, I’ve used patterned paper.

Here’s the first Card…

The second card I am sharing today is actually the card I made for my Mum for her birthday. She loves blue so I used Balmy Blue patterned paper for the background. I added a die-cut square of cardstock to the inside of the card so I could write my message.

Here’s the Card…

I really love this style of card. I haven’t made anything like this in a long time but hopefully, it won’t be too long before I try it again. It looks so good! I hope you’ll give it a try too.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Christmas Frosted Foliage

Sending You A Little Yuletide Cheer (Feels Like Frost)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, as I was flicking through the 2019 Holiday Catalogue there were a few (okay, more than a few) card samples which jumped out at me. The card I am sharing today is taken directly from the pages of this catalogue and features items from the Feels Like Frost Suite – it is gorgeous and I think you will love it too. What made me what to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) this card and share it with you, despite the obvious prettiness of the card, is the use of the die. I’ve marked the die (from the Frosted Frames dies) in the picture below.

Whenever I see a die like this I really only ever think about using with cardstock and occasionally vellum. In this example, the die has been used with a gorgeous sheet of patterned paper from the Feels Like Frost paper pack. I wanted to encourage you to step outside your usual way of doing things and perhaps try something like this. The sentiment was also directly embossed on the patterned paper. This is also another thing I rarely do but in this case, it looks so good (and you CAN read it clearly)!

Here’s the Card…

It’s really pretty isn’t it? The paper is gorgeous as is that beautiful ribbon! I really love this suite! I hope you’ll give these techniques a try too.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Leave A Little Sparkle New Wonders

Happy Birthday (Leave A Little Sparkle / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, sometimes I buy a stamp set simply because it is cute. I don’t necessarily have a recipient or occasion in mind for using it. The Leave a Little Sparkle set is one of those stamp sets. It’s been sitting in my stash, unloved, for a couple of months now. I look at it occasionally but never pull it off the shelf. Yesterday my boss asked me if I had any cards in my collection (I keep some at work for people to buy) which had a unicorn on it. I didn’t but I said, give me the night and I’d make one. YAY!! So I sat down and finally used this cute set and I used the sample in the Annual Catalogue to give me a kick-start.

I used the Brights Stampin’ Write Markers to watercolour the mane and tail. Hasn’t it come up so prettily?! I had to finish it off with a coat of Wink of Stella to give it a pretty shimmer too.

Here’s the Card…

I hope the recipient – a 5-year-old who loves unicorns – loves it! And, I can tell you I loved colouring this unicorn so much I now have another three cards on the go. Next time I am asked there WILL be a unicorn card in my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Christmas Christmas Gleaming

Deck the Halls (Brightly Gleaming / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, are you starting to get into the Christmas spirit? I know, I know – it’s a way off yet. Well, actually, at the risk of scaring you, it is only 80 days away. YIKES! I don’t know about you but I feel like there is a lot to be done before we get to Christmas. I usually start thinking about making my Christmas cards from August but I rarely actually make them before November. I totally admire those of you who are already done with them or certainly have them underway.

I love all the amazing samples in the 2019 Holiday Catalogue and I’ve been CASE-ing (Copy And Share Everything) a few of them. Today I am sharing one of my CASEd cards. I love the Brightly Gleaming suite – it is one of my favourite things in the catalogue – and this is where today’s card comes from.

Here’s the Card…

I thought the sample in the catalogue had coloured the copper leaves (from Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements) so I tried to do that with my Stampin’ Blends. It really didn’t change the appearance like I had hoped. I could have tried a darker colour but I decided to leave it there.

It was a fun card to make and super simple too. Don’t you also love the Star Designer Elements? Such a lovely accent. Are you feeling a little more like you want to get into the Christmas spirit or do you not want to think about it until later in the year?

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Bird Ballad DSP CASE the Catalogue Free As A Bird Thank you

Thanks for being you (Free as a bird / Bird Ballad DSP)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card based on a sample in the current 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. In the catalogue, the design was actually on the side of a tin and it was so cute I had to adapt it to a regular card. It’s super easy to make and I think it looks pretty cute. I hope you’ll give it a try.

To create the card, all you need is a sheet of patterned paper from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and cut it to fit the size of your card base. I allowed for a little border but you could increase or decrease this gap as per your own preference. Next up, I stamped the super cute bird from the Free as a Bird stamp set, along with some leaves. Don’t worry too much about how it will look near the bird’s feet as you will place the sentiment over this area. The sentiment is also from the Free as a Bird stamp set. To add a little more interest to the sentiment, I used the cute flower embellishment from the Bird Ballad Trinkets pack.

Here’s the Card…

It’s super cute, isn’t it? I love the samples in the catalogue. The designers are so talented and inspiring!

The Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper is one of the patterned paper packs included in the current Buy 3, Get 1 Free sale. This sale ends on 30 September.

CASE the Catalogue Memories & More Sailing Home

Celebrate Today (Sailing Home / Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, guess what? I’ve finally moved and I’ve finally made some space, and some time, to craft. It is AWESOME! What happened when I first sat down to create is that I went completely blank. Urgh! All the time I’ve been wanting to create the ideas have been flowing but when I could…nothing. I felt almost paralysed. I messaged my friend Melissa who suggested I CASE something to get back into the swing of things! What a great idea!! Plus it reminded me of a post I wrote a while ago about things you can do to kick start the mojo. It has lots of good ideas in it so I’ll share it again now as it might help you too.

You don’t need to look any further than the front of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue for my inspiration for today’s card. I love the Come Sail Away Suite and I hadn’t used it before it ended up in a box. Not the best place for it to be. I loved how the original card designer used the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack for the base. It looks like it is layered, and you could certainly replicate this design with patterned paper and a die-cut shape if you wanted to. The sentiment is actually stickers, also from the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack. These packs have so much in them – different sized cards, laser-cut cards and stickers. They are great for scrapbooking and cardmaking. I love them!

Here’s the Card…

So there you have it, my first card in ages. It was fun to do and I am so looking forward to creating again. What are you crafting with these days? Are there any particular stamps/papers you would like to see me use?

CASE the Catalogue To A Wild Rose

Hello Friend (To A Wild Rose / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today we are returning to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) one of my favourite cards from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue featuring the To A Wild Rose stamp set. I used Black, Granny Apple Green with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape to create this card. Simply stamp and mask the background and then fill in the colour. Stamp some leaves separately and die cut them. These can be arranged under the sentiment.

Here’s the Card…

Ah, so sweet! I do really love this card too. I think the shades of purple look really good. Have you tried this card yet? What colour combinations did you use?

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue To A Wild Rose

Hello (To A Wild Rose / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, while I had all of my supplies out I decided I had to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) one of my favourite cards from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue featuring the To A Wild Rose stamp set. I used Black, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo to create this look. You will need to use masks to create this design. I use all Full Stick Notes (Post-It brand) and then if they aren’t too mucky at the end of my project I keep them with the stamp sets so I can use them over and over.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t this a really pretty card? I also LOVE the look of Black, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo together. Such a happy combination and most definitely it is one of my favourites! This card is so fun to create and I think it would be really cool to replicate it with some other colours. Watch this space!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!
