It's time once again for the new CASEing The Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop. Our challenge works by asking you to CASE different aspects of Stampin' Up!'s catalogues. CASEing is a great way to spark your creativity.
This week we are asking you to CASE a card from the Bundles Section of the Annual Catalogue. In flicking through the section, I discovered that I don't own a single bundle from the catalogue! I'm not quite sure how that happened, so I had to think extra creatively this week.
I ended up choosing this butterfly card from page 161. I really liked the white die cuts layered over the stripes of coloured cardstock. They really pop against the colour.
I recently purchased the Rugged Icons Dies, after my fellow CTCer, Rachel, posted some fabulous masculine cards using them. I thought that this card was a great opportunity to use them. After much debate I went for the mountains die - although I see pyramids every time I look at it! I'm sure they are meant to be mountains, as I don't think there are trees like that around the pyramids.
I layered some Garden Green, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue cardstock on some copy paper before cropping it with the largest hexagon in the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I applied some Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of Whisper White card and cropped it with the Rugged Icons die before adhering it to the hexagon.
I used a second die cut, in Balmy Blue, to decorate the inside. The sentiments are from the stamp set that's in the Light The Candles kit.
That's all from me for now, but we'd love for you to join us in making a card for this challenge. Do you have a favourite bundle from the Annual Catalogue? Or are you like me with no bundle, but a lovely card in the section that has caught your eye to CASE? Just add a photo to our Facebook group when you've made your card.
In the meantime, please do continue your way around our blog hop. The next stop is the lovely Peta Stephen, with a gorgeous Christmas card.
Bye for now,
Tina
You are giving those Rugged Icons a good workout Tina, and as usual, some great inspiration from your CASE. I love the simplicity of the undecorated die, shows the coloured strips off superbly.
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Now that you’ve said that all I can see is pyramids! I love your take on this card though. The hexagon triple colour panel behind the die cut looks great.
