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 Rochelle Laird-Smith'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 either the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue or the Stampin' Up! 2024 Sept-Dec Mini Catalogue that features animals. There are quite a few options in both catalogues to CASE from.
My cards are loosely inspired by this gift bag sample from the Nests of Winter Suite that is in the 2024 Sept-Dec Mini Catalogue. While I didn't make a gift bag like the sample I used some of the design elements from the gift tag that accompanies the bag.
While I'm still in Christmas crafting mode I made a couple more Christmas cards for this weeks CASE-ing the Catty Challenge. Like the original sample I've kept the circle element and a rectangle that is a similar size to the actual tag. I've combined the Country Woods DSP with some of the products from the Reindeer Days Suite. I've incorporated the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set, the Reindeer Days DSP, the stickers from the Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Pack, and the Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints.
The Pool Party layer on both cards I used one of the stamps from the Reindeer Fun stamp set to stamp and heat emboss my own 'DSP' as such. I couldn't find a DSP that I liked to go on the card so I made my own. I then cut the cardstock with the Deckled Regtangle Dies.
The stickers from the Memories & More card packs are a fun way to accent either your memory keeping or your cards. These images from the Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Packs are so festive and really add to the Christmas look and feel of your Christmas crafts.
On the first card I used one of the stickers for the sentiment but on this one I stamped the sentiment for a different look.
I think with these two cards I've finished making my Christmas cards for the year. I think. Time to get them in the post.
Next up on the hop is the fabulous Kathryn Mangelsdorf. Make sure you give her some CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop love.
