CASEing the Catty Blog Hop – CTC110 – Welcome

 Hello and welcome to a new year at CASEing the Catty – Sunday Blog Hop!
CASEing the Catty Blog - CTC104 - Petals & Paisleys

Whether you’re joining the Hop here at CreativeJax with Jackie Noble, or if you’ve hopped on over from new Team Crew Member –  Mel at My Paper Oasis – or back from Julia at Handmade by Julia Quinn a BIG hello!

So – a New Year – a new Catalogue – and a new way of doing things here at CASEing the Catty.

The Crew will continue to have our regular Sunday Blog Hop where we CASE a particular section of the catalogue, and as always, everyone is encouraged to join in the Challenge . We love taking inspiration from the great projects in the catalogues and are sure you will too!

But we have decided to make a change to the way we do our monthly challenge. We are changing it to weekly and running it through the new CASEing the Catty Blog Hop and Sunday Challenge Facebook Group. If you have been inspired by our projects and want to share your own, please join us on the Facebook Group. A winner will be chosen and announced on the following Sunday at 6pm. We know lots of our followers don’t have Blogs and we want to be as inclusive as we can – so if you haven’t already joined the group you will find us HERE

Once you’ve had a look through this week’s Blog Hop to see plenty of inspirational projects that the crew have created for you –  get your crafty mojo out and join the challenge!

This week the crew is taking inspiration from pages 4 – 7 of the new Occasions Catalogue – which starts with the Animal Party Suite. I’ve chosen the card at the top right hand corner of page 6.

I was drawn to the angled layout! – and see that I’m not the only crew member who chose to CASE this card! And while I certainly have plenty of birthdays I could be making cards for, I also need a welcome card. Our good friends and neighbours are leaving so we will be getting some new neighbours soon and I like to welcome them to the neighbourhood with a card & some baking.

2016_01_creativejax_ctc110_welcome You can see I’ve kept the layout the same as the original – that’s what caught my eye in the first place!
The background is a Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper – Carried Away. Those streets are perfect for my card! It is cut to fit the full size of the card front (1/4 A4 = 10.5 x 14.85cm) and the card base is Night of Navy – not that you can see any of it!
This DSP provided the colour palette for my card. I frequently check out the colours on the DSPs when I’m looking for a colour combo that will work. The DSP is cut to fit the full size of the card front (1/4 A4 = 10.5 x 14.85cm) and the card base is Night of Navy – not that you can see any of it!
The large sentiment is from the Vertical Garden stamp set, which is designed to go with the Vertical Garden Project Kit (page 22). I always like to get more use for these “kit” stamp sets than just the project they were intended for. I think this will also be great for welcoming new team members to my thINK Creative Team. I’ve stamped the “Welcome” in Night of Navy with a Peekaboo Peach shadow. Love how easy it is to achieve this shadow effect with photopolymer stamp. The leaves are from the same stamp set and stamped in Mint Macaron.
The smaller words were stamped using the letters from the Labeler Alphabet. Such a great set – you can “type” whatever you like/need!
After stamping the sentiments, I’ve matted the whisper white onto a piece of Watermelon Wonder and tied some Night of Navy Baker’s Twine around. As the cardstock is on an angle, the thread tends to slide up – so I put a glue dot on the back at each edge. If you get it very close to the edge it will hold the twine in place without it being visible from the front of the card. This was then popped up onto dimensionals.
The details on the DSP is just amazing – gotta love those cute swing sets and bicycle!

2016_01_creativejax_welcome_inside As always, I’ve carried the design elements through to the inside of the card – it just finishes a card off I think.

  4. Very clever, Jackie. Love this idea, might need to poach it next week for people moving into their first ever home.

  5. Wow, such a great CASE, Jackie. It is a great layout and your centre panel is fabulous. Love the inside finish too.
