CASE the Sketch on Page 29 | CTC285

Hello & welcome to this weeks CASEing the Catty Design Team Blog Hop. I'm excited to share my projects for this weeks challenge, CASEing the sketch on Page 29 of the August-December Mini Catalogue.

Like the three cards on Page 29, I have created a created a card for each level of crafter. For my cards, I have featured the Tag Buffet Stamp Set and the ’Tis the Season Designer Series Paper.

Beginner Crafter

I started with a Shaded Spruce card base (8-1/4” x 5-3/4”; scored: 4-1/8”). I took two strips of the DSP and a strip of Whisper White Cardstock (1-1/2” wide) cutting down to size. I took another piece of Whisper White Cardstock (3-5/8” x 2-1/4”) stamping the sentiment and two of the branches in Memento ink.

I coloured in the leaves with Shaded Spruce marker, from the Regals Stampin’ Write Markers. I adhered all the strips to the card front with Stampin’ Seal, and the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally, I adhered a Whisper White Faux Linen Ribbon bow to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Casual Crafter

I took another Shaded Spruce card base. I adhered three strips of DSP and a strip of Whisper White Cardstock (1” wide) cutting down to size, with Stampin’ Seal and Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, along with two branches. I coloured in the leaves with the Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker.

I used the No Line Watercolour Technique to colour in the stocking. I stamped the stocking in stamped off Sahara Sand ink onto a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock. I used the smallest Water Painter, watercoloring with Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce ink. I restamped the Memento ink over the top and fussy cut it out.

I adhered the sentiment with Stampin’ Seal and Dimensionals. Finally, I tied a piece of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the stocking and adhered it to the card front.

Avid Crafter

I started with a Shaded Spruce card base and a second piece of Shaded Spruce Cardstock (5-1/4” x 3-5/8”) that has been embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. Adhering to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I took three piece of DSP, one piece of Whisper White Cardstock and one piece of Brass Foil Sheet (1” wide) cut down to size. I adhered the five strips with Stampin’ Seal and Dimensionals.

I took a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock (2” x 4”) watercoloring in Shaded Spruce ink with the largest Water Painter. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I stamped two branches in Memento ink. I adhered the sentiment piece with Stampin’ Seal and Dimensionals.

I used the same technique to create the two baubles, colouring in Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler ink. And restamped in Memento ink. I adhered one bauble with Stampin’ Seal. I tied a piece of Linen Thread around the neck of the second bauble, securing into place and adhering onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
