October's Sea Shore Stampers' Blog Hop - CASE the Catty Christmas Card


Hello, and happy welcome to another Seashore Stampers Blog Hop for October 2018!  So happy you decided to stop by.

This month we are sharing our projects that are CASE(ed) (Copy And Share Everything) from Stampin' Up!'s 2018 Holiday Catalog.



CASED Christmas Card

As I wanted to make a Christmas card, and I had the stamp and die set from page 22 of this catty (Peaceful Poinsettia), I CASed the card pictured on page 23 of the catty! 

Boy, this set is really wonderful to work with!  I changed up the cardstock colors as I didn't have any Shaded Spruce left!   After some debate, I decided to go with Pear Pizzaz and Melon Mambo! I also changed out the ribbon (yup, didn't have any of that wonderful Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon in my stash) - used Gold Metallic Thread instead - what do you think? Bet you can come up with your own favorite color combination (and also bet you can't stop with just one combo either)!

Have fun creating your own version!

Okay, now that you have seen my card, please enjoy the rest of the hop and I look forward to seeing you next time!

Stampin' Up! Supplies Used:


Cut:
Melon Mambo cardstock base:  11" x 4 1/4"
Pear Pizzaz cardstock mat: 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White piece for inside of card:  5 1/4" x 4"
Scrap of Whisper White for punched greeting
Next:
1.  Fold card base in half.
2.  Place your dies onto the Pear Pizzaz cardstock piece and run through the Big Shot.
3.  Glue the die cut leaf pieces onto the mat as shown in photo (or where ever you wish!)
4.  Glue your die cut mat to your card base.
5.  Stamp your greeting onto whisper white cardstock scrap using Melon Mambo ink and punch out.
6.  Onto backside of your greeting place 2 strips of tear-n-tape.
7.  Take your roll of metallic thread and wrap around your hand 4 times - cut and apply on top of the tear-n-tape rearranging the thread loops as desired (check photo for ideas).
8.  Attach greeting to card using Stampin' Dimensionals (I used 3).
9.  Attach red rhinestones to your card front as desired.
10. Decorate your envelop using stamps from the set.
11.  Also, please feel free to use Wink Of Stella onto your card (I didn't have any left - waiting for my new one to come in).  I bet it will add just that bit of "sparkle" to finish off your wonderful creation!
