CTC62 – My Favourite Sale-a-bration | The Paper and Stamp Addict

Welcome to another week of Case-ing the Catty!!! Gee, the year is flying past already!! This week, we are showcasing our favourites from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. There are so many gorgeous freebies in this catalogue that it makes it hard to choose just one.

I decided to case the card on page 10 which features a Project Life card and the Perfect Pairings stamp set.

I don’t have the SAB Project Life cards yet (yes, you can get a Project Life kit for free!!), so I decided to make my own. I used the It’s My Party DSP stack and based my colours on the co-ordinating colours of the DSP. So I have a Sahara Sand base, then a Crushed Curry layer and then I created the window using Melon Mambo. I also used the SAB Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack on the window.

I created the square window using two of the square framelits and ran them through the big shot at the same time. Fortunately, I had them lined up straight!!

I then stamped the sentiment from the Perfect Pairings set using my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig using the Archival Basic Black ink. As it was a bit wet, I used my heat gun to dry it off quicker so I could stamp the smaller stamp as well. It’s a bit hard to see in the photo but I drew a square around window in Crushed Curry like the original.

I then assembled the window and made some confetti using my confetti star punch. I put lots of dimensionals around the edge of the back of the square and added the banners at the bottom. (Note to self: make sure you put tape on the back of the banner, otherwise confetti falls out the gap. Ask me how I know!!)

A final bow in the new Melon Mambo baker’s twine and voila, all done!!

Don’t forget that you can join in with our projects each week by adding yours to the link at the bottom of this post. We will have a winner at the end of the month, so please join in!!

Next up in the hop is my talented friend, Tricia at the Speckled Sparrow.

Great CASE Rebecca! A fabulous colour combo and I really love the vellum in your shaker – it contrasts the shaker from the background – cool!

What an adorable shaker card. Those confetti punches are handy. Love the vibrant colour mix and the SAB PL cards are awesome.

Nothing says party time more than a birthday shaker card & a bright fun one too! I really like this layout & hadn’t even noticed it in the catalogue. I’d love to case your case Bec!
