CASE-ing the Catty #80 - Farewell!

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 saying farewell to a favourite product that is about to retire. 

I am also saying farewell to the fabulous Design Team at CASE-ing the Catty....  Thank you to everyone at CTC (both past & present), it has been wonderful working with you! ♥

There are lots of wonderful products retiring from both the SU Annual & Occasions Catalogues, but don't be sad, that just means there are heaps of wonderful new goodies in the upcoming 2016-17 Annual Catalogue.  Yay!  :)

I have chosen to say goodbye to lots of retiring products to create my project:-

I really like the steel rule dies & am sad to see them leaving the Catty altogether.  I have used the Fry Box to house my flowers, which feature foliage from the Bouquet Bigz L Die:-

The blossoms are made from 2 layers each from the 1.1/4" & 7/8" scallop circle punches (cut from Pumpkin Pie & Peekaboo Peach cardstock), misted with alcohol, scrunched & held together with mini silver split pins.  The small flowers are punched from one of the Itty Bitty Accents punches, finished off with a Pumpkin Pie candy dot.  The sentiment comes from one of my favourite sets, All Boxed Up, & is on a piece die-cut with a Handpicked Framelit.

The ribbon is a piece of Delightful Dijon Dotted Lace Trim which has been dyed with Black Staz On ink, giving it a lovely, deep Bronze/Olive colour:-

To support all the flowers & foliage, I die-cut two pieces of window sheet the same size as the rear panel of the box, trimming them to two different heights & secured them inside the box (the same way you would construct a "card in the box").
