CTC #256: Annual Catalogue With A Holiday Twist

Hi!


Welcome to this week's CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. They are such a nice way to end the weekend, don't you think? The blog before mine was the lovely Shannon's - are you coming from there or starting here? Either way, just keep going until you get back to where you started.


This week our challenge is to choose a card from the Annual Catalogue to CASE, but to give it a Holiday Catalogue Twist.  After opening the Annual Catalogue at a few random pages, I decided to stop on this card from page 158.


The banner, and the layers underneath, was what caught my eye. I think it's because it reminds me a little of some of the new stuff about to come out. However, the challenge is to use Holiday Catalogue products, so I pulled out my trusty So Many Stars bundle.

I started by creating the banner. It's just the retired Labeller Alphabet stamped and then cropped using the Classic Label punch. I then folded it over a length of Whisper White Baker's Twine, adhered the two sides with a glue dot, and snipped the back to match the front.

The large starry swirl piece was made slightly larger by snipping it in half under the Copper star and pushing the ends out. I like that you can see much more of it this way.

I had a few stars left from the swirly die cut on the front, so they were put to good use framing the sentiment from the Greatest Part Of Christmas stamp set. I love that font, as it nearly looks hand written.

Don't forget to add your card to our Facebook group once you have made it. You don't need a blog or fancy photography, so it's super easy to join in.


In the meantime though, please do continue the hop! Next up is Rebecca with a very peaceful card.


Bye for now,

Tina

  3. Oh this banner is so cute!! Very clever. I love the stars bundle so much and they look particularly good in foil. The NON and Copper is such a classic colour combination but I love the pop of red you've introduced here. Fab, as always!
