CASE-ing the Catty | #ctc505 | CASE the Sale-a-bration Brochure

 Hello Stamping Friends. Welcome to a super exciting CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop. We at CASE-ing the Catty are about CASE-ing the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues (Catty) with a different theme to CASE each week. To CASE is to Copy and Selectively Edit.


 If you've come from Judy May's blog welcome, if you've started here with me also welcome. It's so good to have you here.


This week we are CASE-ing a project from the Stampin' Up! 2025 Sale-a-bration Brochure. f you've not seen the Sale-a-bration Brochure you can check it out HERE. Sale-a-bration is where you can earn FREE products from 7th Jan - 28th Feb 2025. With every $100AUD you spend on Stampin' Up! products (before shipping and handling) you can choose a FREE product from the Sale-a-bration Brochure. Its a fun time of year to be part of and to shop with Stampin' Up! If you want more details on Sale-a-bration please contact me.


There are some fabulous projects in the Sale-a-bration Brochure that show creative ideas for all types of paper crafters. I was particularly drawn to the sample above that uses the FREE Toadstool Garden DSP. What drew me to this card was the use of the DSP for the card base rather than using cardstock and I loved that it wasn't your standard looking card.

I've used the beautiful Wildflower Birthday DSP from the Wildflower Birthday Suite to CASE the brochure sample. I can't love this DSP enough. It would have to be one of my favourites from the Stampin' Up! 2025 Jan-Apr Mini Catalogue. 

With the various patterns and designs of the DSP I've kept the card fairly simple with the use of the DSP as the card base and then layered a die cut circle and then one of the ready to use die cuts that are also in the Wildflower Birthday DSP pack.

On the inside I've let the beautiful DSP do all the 'talking' with its amazing pattern and beautiful colours. I've added a small Basic White cardstock panel for to write a personal greeting and then used the same ready to use die cut piece that was on the front to keep that continuity. I trimmed this one down so that it only covered a corner of the greeting panel.


Under the die cut circle I added some Pretty in Pink ribbon to hold the card closed. It doesn't necessarily need it to hold the card closed but I thought it was pretty so, why not? 

I've finished the card off with some strands of the Online Exclusive Gold Twisted Thread, some of the Wildflower Birthday DSP all purpose designs and some of the super gorgeous Party Dots.

I'm really loving the use of the DSP for the base of the card and it's a fabulous way to use up some of that gorgeous DSP that we all tend to love (hoard) and not cut up. It's also a quick way to create a beautiful card and to let the DSP be the main star of the show, making the card beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. Let's get DSP chopping!

Next up on the hop is the lovely, Kathryn Mangelsdorf. Be sure to give her some CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop love.
