CASEing the Catty #67 - Birthday Bouquet DSP


Hello & welcome to this week's CASE-ing the Catty's Blog Hop!

Each week the Crew members will take inspiration from a section or theme of the current Stampin' Up Catalogues to create their projects.  The acronym "CASE" stands for "Copy And Share Everything" or "Copy And Selectively Edit".  :)

This week the CTC Crew are choosing a project from the Birthday Bouquet section of the Occasions Catalogue (p8-15) to CASE.

I was inspired by the card at the bottom right of page 8.  This card features three different Designer Series Papers from the Birthday Bouquet DSP pack.  Generally I don't seem to use a lot of DSP & you would would rarely find three different prints on a card I created, so I thought I would challenge myself to do just that.  I found a fun fold, called a quarter fold card & used that to create my project:-


You can find a video link to the construction method of these cards here.  Thank you to Jana O'Brien for sharing.  :)  I added print panels the entire length of each flap, so you can see more of the pretty DSP when you slide off the divine watermelon ribbon & open the flaps:-


This type of card would be fun to send to someone who has just moved house, with a message inside that says "thought you might like to open something other than a packing box!"  :)

I stamped the inside panel with a little chain of hearts to mimic the image on the bunting print:-


Here is the card that inspired my project this week (bottom right):-

If you are feeling inspired, we would love you to CASE a project from the Birthday Bouquet section of the Occasions Catalogue (p8-15) & link it up in the gallery at the bottom of this CTC post (simply click on the icon below).  At the end of each month, the Crew will choose a Winner.
