CTC 64 The Sky Is The Limit Label Closure Card

Welcome back to CASEing The Catty Blog Hops.  I am going through a very masculine phase at the moment.  Not sure why because I really love flowers & bright colours.  Today I've chosen to case a mixture of all 3 of the Sale-A-Bration Sky Is The Limit cards.

Here are the cards I am case-ing.

I know how vague that sounds but let me explain.  I wanted to use the brown from the top left card, the plane & sentiment from the bag & the label from the bottom card.

I was looking for a project for my stamp club ladies & stumbled across a Partial Die Cut Label Closure card on Pinterest. It was based on one originally by Linda Heller & was perfect for what I was trying to achieve.  I also wanted to incorporate the World Traveller embossing folder & show the technique of inking up the folder when embossing.

Here is what I came up with:

The card opens like this.  I wanted to cover the hole the partial label cut made so I layered a piece of Very Vanilla over the top. I also covered the back with another piece of Sahara Sand card stock. (I'm a bit OCD) 

I used the Happy Birthday from Guy Greetings for the inside. You could leave it blank as the label flap covers this area.   Creating this type of card involves only partially cutting the Label framelits 1" in from the right-hand edge to create a flap. I also scored this flap so it folds easier, but you don't really need to.

CTC61 My Favourite Occasions CASE

Welcome back to another year of CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hops. I am so glad to be back in the craft room creating again.  It felt like it had been ages, but was only a few weeks.  After 3 weeks of school holidays, I think I found my sanity in there. 

Today I am sharing my favourite project from the Occasions Catalogue.  There were so many to choose from, but I decided I loved the Going Places suite the most.   Whilst browsing the catalogue, my eye was drawn to the cute box frame on page 38.  Here is a picture of how it appears in the catalogue. 

I had an A4 sized black frame sitting around empty, so it was perfect for this project. 

This is my first sewing ever on a card, well technically it isn't a card is it!  Here is a close up of my awesome sewing lol.  I snipped up some leftover reindeer clips from the Holiday catalogue for my little flags. My trusty Owl Builder punch supplied the little glimmer hearts. 

When I finished making the frame I felt it needed a card to go with it.  There were a few extra bits on my desk so I made this matching card.  I wanted to make this more neutral so I omitted the red glimmer hearts & replaced them with Sahara Sand & Vanilla ones. 

The Going Places DSP stack has such lovely masculine prints & patterns & is sure to be a favourite amongst a lot of my customers.  I bet you will love it too.

 

I actually surprised myself picking this as a favourite project as there were so many "pretty" projects to choose from.   I can't wait to see what everyone else has chosen for their favourites!   To continue the hop click through to ELIZABETH, I bet she has something delightful to share.

Masculine Monday: Guy Greetings Card

As many of you are aware we are moving over the next few weeks & I have packed up about half of my studio.  I received a lovely big brown box from Stampin' Up! this week & got straight to work creating a few masculine cards for an upcoming event.  I was just having a bit of a play with the Adventure Bound paper stack & I must say this paper is pretty good.  I wasn't a big fan of it when I first saw the catalogue, but have seen some great uses for it lately.  So, I ordered a few packs & the Guy Greetings stamp set & got busy.  You can buy this paper as a bundle with the Adventure Awaits stamp set & save 15%!

Here is one of my creations, quite simple but uses the Adventure Bound stack for most elements.

It is a quick & easy card for that man in your life.  I can see lots of uses for that car & can't wait to try a few more Masculine cards once I am all moved & unpacked.  

Thanks For Looking,

TRICIA
