CTC 58 Snowflake Banner

Welcome back to another CASE-ing the catty Blog Hop.  Today I am sharing a 3d/home decor item I made many months ago for a craft show.  I make a banner every year & as soon as I saw this set I knew I would use it for my banner this Christmas.

My stamp club ladies are making this banner as part of their Christmas projects next month as well, so I have a lot of cutting & preparation to do before then!

Ugh! Banners are so hard to photograph.  I actually made the word Christmas into a banner too, but I just can't get it all in a photograph! 

I have used the Flurry Of Wishes stamp set & stamped the snowflake images all over the Whisper white card stock in Pool Party. 

I then used White embossing powder & embossed the larger snowflake on Kraft Cardstock & punched it out using the Medallion Punch.  I love that this punch coordinates with this set too. 

You can see in the next photo I have also punched out Gold Glimmer paper & layered it behind snowflake elements to create a little embellishment for the corner.

 I really enjoyed making this.  Even though we don't get snow here I just love decorating with snowflakes.  The Snowflake Elements are so delicate & pretty & the gold looks lovely as a highlight behind them. It is really sparkly in real life but a bit hard to capture in photos.

CTC 56 My Favourite Holiday Catty Bundle

Welcome to the CASE-ing The Catty Blog Hop.  today we ae showcasing our favourite bundle from the Holiday Catalogue.

How do I choose just one?  There are so many I just love & I am finding it impossible to choose.  One of the very first bundles I purchased was the Snow Flurry bundle & I have made lots of projects with this bundle.  I hear you saying "SNOWFLAKES? But we don't have snow here in Australia!" Well no, we don't but I just love them so much I couldn't help myself & had to have it.

  The participants of my Create Your Christmas day recently got to make a snowflake pillow box as part of their day.  I have CASED the pillow box from page 41 as seen in the catalogue however, I wanted to use the Snowflake bundle so have added that instead of the snowflake element.

I really liked this project because I got to showcase 2 bundles!   The Snow Flurry bundle & the Pillow Box bundle.  Here is my pillow box.  Lots of punching & stamping in this project.  I love how the snowflake punch, punches out the images perfectly. The Winter Wonderland Embellishments are really lovely also.

I embossed the little stars in silver on vellum for the window cut out.  Bit hard to see in the photo above but perhaps easier to see in this one.

This little box is perfect for a little gift of jewellery or money even.  It is a good size for treats or lollies also, making this the perfect little box for so many occasions.  I have to admit I bought this bundle to make a banner to decorate my house for Christmas, but just couldn't stop using it!  I will be sharing my banner in a few weeks time so stay tuned for that.

Now for the good news, the snowflake punch is on sale this week in the weekly deals for just $23.25!
