Z-fold card that is!!  One of the girls in the CTC Crew had a gorgeous baby boy a week or so ago and I knew straight away that I had to make one of Bronwyn’s Z-Fold Baby Crib cards!!

I don’t own a single baby set, so it makes it a bit challenging to make a baby card!!  Seeing as it’s for a boy, I used the Best Route DSP and the aeroplane print.  Once I had the card and crib assembled, I decided to include the Fox from Fox Friends stamp set and used the Fox punch.

I used the Pick a Pennant stamp set and matching Playful Pennants framelits.  This is very handy set as it includes a whole alphabet so that you can create your own sentiments.

To decorate the front panel, I used the banner from the Hold on to Hope stamp set and inked it with a Blueberry Bushel marker and just highlighted the outline.  I then cut it out with the Cross of Hope framelits.

I’m so happy with how this Z-Fold card worked out!  You can purchase this tutorial here.

Now to make sure I actually post the card!

Hasn’t Sale-a-bration just flown past!  Can you believe that it’s almost at the end!  Only another 3 weeks to go.

We are casing the 2018 Sale-a-bration Catalogue and the 2nd release brochure this week.  Even though we have done it a few times now (ok, more than a few) there are so many lovely cards to get inspiration from.

This week, I was inspired by two cards.  My first card is on page 13 of the SAB catty.

I hadn’t really noticed this card as I don’t have the Bubble over bundle.  As I was trying to decide which card to case, I noticed this card at the bottom of the page.

I used the Picture Perfect Birthday set and the Birthday Memories DSP and based the colours around the DSP.

For my second card, I cased one of the cards on page 18.  I actually chose the portrait one and made it landscape.

I love playing with the Shimmery White embossing paste. It’s so fun to use!! I think I got a bit carried away this one!

The Happy Wishes stamp set is one of the Level 2 stamp sets that you can earn for free during Sale-a-bration.

Next up on the hop is lovely Judy.

I hope you can share your creation from this section with us on our Facebook group.

Welcome back to another week of Caseing the Catty.  We are casing the Artistic Expression section of the 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue, pages 132-181.

I decided to case one of the feather cards on page 176.

I was drawn to the background using the embossing paste so that was one starting point.  I made the background first so that it had time to dry. I decided to use the Just Add Color Specialty DSP as the feature and coloured it using Marina Mist ink and Powder Pink ink with an aqua painter.

I then added a bow with the Whisper White solid baker’s twine.  I then punched out a label using the new Pretty Label punch in Marina Mist.  I used the hello stamp from the Pop of Paradise stamp set in Powder Pink and punched out using the 1 3/8″ circle punch.

This DSP is so cute!  You can colour it however you want to suit your occasion.

Next up is Sandra from across the way in New Zealand!

I hope you can join in with us this week and share your project on our Facebook Group, which you can join here.

Well, I’ve been doing lots of colouring in lately!!! I’m really enjoying my Blendabilities!!

I’ve found that I don’t have many appropriate stamps for colouring but I was lucky enough to receive the Blended Bloom stamp at convention this year!!

So I found a few cards to case from Pinterest.

Firstly, I found this lovely card by Brandy Cox, here which also includes a great video on how to make it.

Here’s my version. Have to say, I’m liking the new twine more and more!!

Then I found this cute one by Susan Horr, here. I really like the Moonlight DSP stack. Love the colours!!!

And lastly, I found this one from Splitcoast Stampers, here.

I hope you like my version of these cards!!!

Happy Stamping!!
