Hello crafters! Welcome to Week 17 of our AWH Heart of Christmas blog hop.
This week I decided to CASE the Stampin’ up! July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue. If you don’t know what CASE stands for, it means to Copy And Share Everything. The Stampin’ Up! catalogues are a great source of inspiration for design ideas, which is why I always hold onto old copies of the Stampin’ Up! catalogues.
The card I cased is on page 57 of the July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue and I loved this card so much I bought the Heartfelt Wishes stamp used on this card.
Although I kept the colours and the layout pretty much the same as the original, I also added in an an embossed layer using one of the wintry embossing folders. Such a simple step, but doesn’t it give a wonderful dimension to the card?
Once again I’ve used the incredibly versatile Seasonal Swirl dies and matching Sparkle of the Season stamp set for the foliage the holly leaves and the pine cones. The holly berries are Red Rhinestones.
The lovely spotted Mossy Meadow strip of DSP is from Heartwarming Hugs DSP – I’ve made a co-ordinating envelope with this DSP too.
The inside of the card uses the “from our family to yours” stamp that I also used on the front of the card, more holly and strips of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP.
This strip of Gold Brushed Metallic 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock really adds so much interest to the card – this close up shows you just how sparkly it is!
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Claire Daly. I can’t wait to see what Claire shares with us today!
If at any time you find a broken link please head to the blog of this week’s host of The Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop, Sharon Davern, and she will have the list of all those participating.
Thanks for visiting my site. I’ll be back with another card on Wednesday.
In the meantime, wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay calm … and keep on crafting xxx
I too love to keep a copy of every catalogue Catherine. There is such wonderful inspiration in them, I just have to remember to look! Your CASE’d card is just lovely and so festive. I love the addition of the embossed panel, it does give it a great look and right amount of texture. I love the card base colour with the more traditional coloured elements.
That is a gorgeous CASE of the catalogue, Cathy and yes, I love your added embossed layer. It gives beautiful texture to your already lovely card.
Fabulous colour palette Catherine. The Coastal Cabana works so well with the greens and the red. I really like the sample in the catalogue but I think that the addition of the embossed pine needles really adds to the depth and texture of your beautiful card.
Cathy I agree with you the catalogue is a great source of inspiration and I love your take on it and the addition of the embossed panel.
Gorgeous! The addition of the embossed layer really adds some great texture! I love the blue (is it Coastal Cabana?) as a contrast with the other colours in your card.
Your card is marvellous! The embossed layer is a great addition, and I agree that it adds lovely dimension to your gorgeous card.
A beautiful card Cathy and yes love the addition of the embossed panel. Fabulous layout including the little details of the metallic gold strip and rhinestone berries.
Such lovely colours together … and you have composed the card beautifully, Cathy. I agree that the Wintry embossing folder adds something special to the card; great choice.
