CASE-ing the Catty #76 - Have A Cuppa Inspiration

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

Each week the Crew members 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 "Have A Cuppa" section of the Occasions Catalogue to CASE (pages 34-37).

There are lots of cute tea-cup creations to CASE in this section of the catty, but I have taken my inspiration from the colours of the Have A Cuppa DSP Stack.  The bright, fun colours are are Basic Grey, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Pool Party, Whisper White & Wisteria Wonder.

These happy colours needed a fun creation, so I made a jar shaker filled with smiley faces:-

I used the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits for the Jar & Lid.  Isn't it amazing what the addition of a little scoring can do to a piece of Silver Foil sheet?  Last week I used a Project Life Photo Pocket Page to create a photo frame (you can see it here), so I used another piece of the Pocket Page in lieu of a Window Sheet for the shaker.  I stamped the little banner sentiment twice & trimmed the top layer to suit.  The Crushed Curry Baker's Twine is left over from the Hello Life Project Kit (you can see how I used the kit here).

So I have only recently acquired the Project Life Paper Clips Thinlits, but ever since I first saw them in the Annual Catalogue (p173), I have been envisioning lots of smiley faces, lol!  :)  :)  :)

Here is the circle clip die, an actual die-cut & a smiley face:-

To make the smiley face, I die-cut a circle clip from Crushed Curry cardstock.  Before removing the die from the cardstock, I used a sharp pencil to mark the location of the eyes.  Then I centred the pencil mark in the 1/8" handheld punch & punched each eye.  To finish off, the Crushed Curry smiley face was adhered to a Basic Grey cardstock circle (or the bib from the Baby's First Framelits works well too).

Here is an image of the paper stack (from page 35) that inspired my creation:-
